Jerry Nadler EXPLODES Over DOG Dropping Flynn Case, Demands Hearing with AG Barr “ASAP”
Last week was a very good week for General Michael Flynn. We knew it was coming, but he was finally exonerated as the Department of Justice dropped the case against him.
Based on all the memos and documents that have been released over the last couple of weeks, we know that there was an active efforts to frame General Flynn.
In case you never saw it, here’s what the handwritten memo from the FBI said,
- Afterwards
- Interview
- I agree yesterday that we shouldn’t show Flynn [REDACTED] if he didn’t admit
- I thought @ it last night, + I believe we should rethink this
- What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to
get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired? - We regularly show subjects evidence, with the goal of getting them to admit their wrongdoing
- I don’t see how getting someone to admit their wrongdoing is going easy on him
- If we get him to admit breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ + have them decide
- Or, if he initially lies then we present him [REDACTED] + he admits it, document for DOJ, + let them decide how to address it
- If we’re seen as playing games, WH will be furious
- Protect our institution by not playing game
Now Rep. Jerry Nadler is having a fit that he’s been vindicated.
Nadler tweeted,
“This is outrageous! Flynn PLEADED GUILTY to lying to investigators. The evidence against him is overwhelming. Now, a politicized DOJ is dropping the case. The decision to overrule the special counsel is without precedent and warrants an immediate explanation…Due to the ongoing COVID-19 emergency, I worked with DOJ to postpone our scheduled hearing with AG Barr as attentions and resources appropriately went to responding to the pandemic. But rest assured, we are going to reschedule that hearing, ASAP, and demand answers!
This is outrageous!

Nadler then issued a press release condemning the release and vows to investigate this decision.
“The decision to drop the charges against General Flynn is outrageous.The evidence against General Flynn is overwhelming. He pleaded guilty to lying to investigators. And now a politicized and thoroughly corrupt Department of Justice is going to let the President’s crony simply walk away.Americans are right to be furious and worried about the continued erosion of our rule of law.
“Even in the height of a national emergency—perhaps especially so—our country requires an impartial justice system. We are not supposed to get special treatment because we are friends with the President or refused to cooperate with federal investigators on his behalf. The decision to overrule the special counsel is without precedent and requires immediate explanation.
“In light of the ongoing pandemic, I worked with the Department to delay our scheduled hearing with the Attorney General. It is my intent to reschedule that hearing as soon as possible.I will also ask the Inspector General for the Department of Justice to investigate this matter. The integrity of our criminal justice system is at stake, and the American people deserve answers.”
