"The
Justice Department has abruptly dropped its prosecution of Michael
Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser. Flynn had previously
plead guilty twice to lying to F.B.I. agents and had cooperated with
investigators during the Mueller investigation, before completely
reversing his position and engaging in a months-long attack against
prosecutors and the F.B.I. Trump repeatedly voiced his support for Flynn
in recent months, raising concerns that he would pardon the former
general.
"I cannot overstate the gravity of this gross miscarriage of justice, and how dangerous this is for our democracy’s future. Michael Flynn is getting zero jail time for lying to the F.B.I, undermining prosecutors, and betraying the country — while countless Americans are dying of coronavirus in prison because they were jailed on technicalities or parole violations. Meanwhile, Attorney General William Barr has turned the Justice Department into nothing more than a political tool for Trump to wield against his enemies and withdraw against his friends.
"This is how dictatorships are built."
