The lawsuit stems from a 2016 FBI investigation during the Obama administration over Flynn’s suspected ties to Russia. In 2017, Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI regarding his association with Russian contacts. Shortly after the 2020 election, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) received a pardon from Trump.

 

“This lawsuit seeks accountability and damages against the United States for these wrongs committed against General Flynn through its agents and agencies,” reads the filing, calling his prosecution “wrongful and malicious” and a “gross abuse of process.”

Another go-nowhere lawsuit. A right-wing specialty nowadays.

You gotta be kidding me the only reason this man isent in prison is because he got pardoned by the most corrupt president in American history and some folks say he threatened Donnie with a plea deal so Donnie had someone wright up the pardon for him we should sue him!

This is about the upcoming presidential election.  He's setting himself up as the persecuted patriot.  Is he going to make the run himself or be DT's pitbull?

 

 

This is a civil suit so there will be discovery. Good luck with that comrade Flynn

I wish him well in his pursuit of justice.

I hope he wins big time.

The only reason Flynn pleaded guilty is because he ran out of money after selling his home to pay lawyers, and then the FBI and DOJ threatened to include his son in the charges.

Here we go again with the conspiracy theories. Please state the evidence of Trump's being the "most corrupt president in American history", and for persepective how does he compare with biden(in the post laptop verified world) ?

 

Good luck to Mike Flynn, hope to see much more of him.

Dip-????. Total whackjob Trumpster up Trump's buttster. Belongs in prison and not only because the crooked former Corrupter-In-Chief con-man gave him a get out of jail free card. Both get the red card.

He won big time when he was given a pardon.

 

If he were smart he’d quietly disappear and hope the DOJ forget about him.

 

He’s not smart.

 

He’s a no longer useful idiot.

I’d stay off the subject of laptops if I were you.

 

Top secret documents found on a laptop and loaded to the cloud is a late update that you might have missed.

I've looked for evidence to support that claim? You got any?

On the other hand...

Judge says Trump pardon doesn’t make Michael Flynn innocent of lying to FBI, but he tosses case

The criminal case against President Donald Trump’s former national security advisor Michael Flynn was formally dismissed Tuesday, two weeks after Trump pardoned him.
The dismissal of the case by Judge Emmet Sullivan in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., where Flynn had pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents, was expected because of his pardon by the president.
The retired Army lieutenant general was fired by Trump in February 2017 after lying to Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. in the weeks before Trump was inaugurated.

The Qanon supporting clown who claimed that there were signs in Arabic along the border with Mexico that directed terrorists to various destinations. Even the Border Patrol, rife with Trump supporters, said this was false. Flynn was notorious for making things up and his assertions got to be known as Flynn Facts. The scary thing is that he may have actually believed them.

 

 

In order to be pardoned he had to have pled guilty or been found guilty, yes?

 

So how can he now sue, having admitted guilt?

Well, you can be preemptively pardoned before being prosecuted as well as after. In fact, Flynn was pardoned both ways by Trump.

Spot on mate. He was played by Trump when he dangled his pardon to stop him from cooperating with federal investigators. Cooperation that would have exposed Trump's wrongdoing. He should just keep grifting the Qanon Magalites and keep his head low and not get into another court case and expose unpleasant information.

This is from 2 years ago, it gives an intro into what he's been doing since:

If You're Shocked by Michael Flynn's Call for a Coup, You Haven't Been Paying Attention

 

Last summer he was traveling the country doing a "Jesus & America" tent revival.

The problem with this logic is that he never gets the chance to recover his own legal expenses.

Why was he pardoned exactly?

Because he can. The biggest criminal in US history pardoned most of his criminal co-conspirator's. He stacked the courts with inexperienced justices, sacked long serving officers in intelligence and justice agencies replacing them with unqualified flunkies. He awarded the nation's highest civilian awards to media liars. He delayed action and lied to the public about covid, resulting in hundreds of 1000s of deaths.

He treated the Presidency as part of his business empire, cheated, stole, incited insurrection, used the military for personal and illegal means, raped and demeaned women and still exhibits a desire to become a dictator of a country once considered the world's most democratic.

Supposedly, in the one meeting Obama had with DT pre-inauguration he warned him about Flynn and that there were charges coming his his way.  My guess is that DT thought Obama was trying to undermine him by telling him that.

Interesting comments on this topic.

 

Most unfortunate, some people posting really believe their own political BS.

 

Actually sit down and research the complete facts behind Flynn's case, then it might give some validity to your comments rather than garbage.

 

If you're just an anti-Trumper, the first thing I deduct is your biased posts contain significant garbage.

 

I enjoy reading people opinion posts on the forum and the occasional humor, but quickly skip over the garbage posts.

 

BTW, not a great fan of Trump and Biden or Obama as individuals, but did like Trump's polices of America first.

So you have anything on the topic since you claim to have an informed opinion, or only want to comment on other posters?

Unfortunately, some people make assertions without offering any facts to back them up.

If he can prove coercion he has a case. I believe he was coerced.

But there was nothing in that which affected the validity of the evidence. In effect, he took advantage of the fact the Trump's White House regime was so disorganized that it didn't know how to stall. If this approach tainted the evidence gathered, that would be news to the judge adjudicating the case.
