The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said in a 2-1 ruling that the Justice Department’s decision to abandon the case against Flynn settles the matter, even though Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to prosecutors in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan had declined to immediately dismiss the case, seeking instead to evaluate on his own the department’s unusual dismissal request.

It’s about time this case was dismissed; the government spent millions of hard earned taxpayer dollars in an effort to throw Flynn under the bus, on some bupkis charge, in an effort to made Trunp look bad. However, those momzarim who burn down businesses, riot, loot, attack civilians and cops, fire bomb cars, threaten people with molotov cocktails, bottles, urine, etc., get away with it. Justice in America!
