Flynn

The sad case of Micheal Flynn and how it illustrates an example of why the Justice Department has lost credibility. Flynn was appointed National Security Advisor for Trump in 2016. As a part of the Trump/Russia collusion he plead guilty to one count of making false statements to the FBI Then in 2019 Flynn hired a new attorney and she uncovered new materials that were withheld by the prosecution which could have helped Flynn. In May 2020, the Justice Department dismissed the charge against Flynn. This is one of many cases where the Justice Department has been found to cover up information deemed detrimental to their case. He plead guilty to a crime that would not have been a crime if all the information had been submitted to the court.
