Appellate court rules that DOJ can drop the case.

I feel like I'm too forcefully trying to "prosecute" Flynn.

Back to my original sense of this.

• The FBI was way overzealous here (railroading?)

• Flynn was not a good operator here either. He's not an innocent bystander

All shades of grey.

Not grey any longer, is it?

Comey: "Kislyak conversation was legit."

Biden: "Let's get him on something else."

Also Biden: "I wasn't involved."

@Jolly well, let’s see who ends up going to jail from the FBI.

Also, remember Hillary also had cases dropped against her. I’m sure I know you feelings about that.

Hillary was never indicted. The only "case" that was dropped was the decision to not pursue criminal charges. Flynn was indicted. THere's a difference there.

@George-K I mean, it's whattaboutism. But my comment was that Flynn was a shady character because of his documented behavior.

My comment on Hillary was that she was even less far in the legal process than Flynn, but it's reasonable to say she was shady there.

The fact that the case got dropped doesn't really change my opinion of the public facts about him.

Facts are such inconvenient things...

I'm sure that will keep him awake at night.

You take that back. He loves and respects me.
