Who's going to stop him ? The Supreme Court ? Congress is our last resort and we know the Republican Congress won't lift a finger. Vote blue people and bring a couple of friends unless you want to end up in the streets with pitchforks and torches fighting the U.S.military. Have a nice day.

“The fact that DOJ has reversed itself 180 degrees to let a presidential ally off the hook—after he pled guilty—is yet another among the slinking cavalcade of humiliations Trump and Barr have inflicted on the [DOJ],” former federal prosecutor and University of Missouri School of Law professor Frank Bowman told me.

Flynn was at the center of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into obstruction of justice by Trump. He had also previously confessed to lying to prosecutors about his contacts with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and lying on Foreign Agents Registration Act forms about his involvement with Turkey.

It’s unclear whether or not Van Grack, Flynn, or Shea will be made to publicly account for this blatant coverup. House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff released statements suggesting they would not try to make them testify, though Nadler said he was seeking to question Barr.

Last week, Trump said he was considering pardoning Flynn, but hinted that Barr would do his dirty work for him. “It looks to me like Michael Flynn would be exonerated based on everything I see,” he told the press.
