DOJ settles lawsuit from Trump ally Michael Flynn for $1.2 million, AP source says

The Justice Department has settled for roughly $1.2 million a lawsuit with Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who pleaded guilty during the Republican’s first term to lying about phone conversations with a top Russian diplomat but was later pardoned. Court papers filed Wednesday do not reveal the settlement amount, but a person familiar with the matter, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to disclose nonpublic information, confirmed the total as about $1.2 million. The settlement resolves a 2023 lawsuit in which Flynn sought at least $50 million and asserted that the criminal case against him amounted to a malicious prosecution. It also represents a stark turnabout in position for the Justice Department.

[if you played #guilty, then you are admitting that you broke the law. So how could it be malicious prosecution?]

It also represents a stark turnabout in position for a #DOJ that during the #Biden admin had pressed a judge to dismiss the complaint. AG #PamBondi, a fmr personal lawyer for #Trump, has been a vocal critic of the #Russia investigation in which #MichaelFlynn was charged & the #FBI & DOJ over the last year have pushed out ofcls who participated in #criminal inquiries of Trump.

The #DOJ cast the settlement as an “important step in redressing” what it says was a “historic injustice” of the #Russia investigation that shadowed #Trump for much of his first term.

…The settlement is the latest turn in the long-running legal saga involving #MichaelFlynn, one of 6 Trump associates charged as part of special counsel #RobertMueller’s investigation into potential ties between Russia & Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

This is obscene. They were all guilty and prosecuted fairly. Flynn was a Russian asset? Or colluder? before being in the Administration. His Russia alignment is why he was chosen obviously. It's sickening that now they are paid taxpayer money. It makes so furious. ☠️ Flynn hated Obama. https://www.factcheck.org/2017/12/michael-flynns-russia-timeline/

@lin11c So, is Flynn lying now, or was he lying when he admitted to collusion with Russia? He’s definitely a liar, but the one that makes him money seems to be the more convenient to him.

They change their story whenever it is convenient. Now to get money, of course he is lying.

@lawyersgunsnmoney @Nonilex Flynn should've been held to account, when the political Pentagon leadership wasn't MAGA-/white supremacist-/murder-cult-contaminated.

"...
Flynn wants to be the face of an insurgent military cabal.
The legal military authorities can’t toss him in the brig, and they shouldn’t turn him into a martyr in any case.

But they need to counter, quash, ridicule, and otherwise nip his dark ambitions in the bud.
They need to make clear, to one and all, that every moral and legal tenet of the U.S. armed forces, every idea animating American democracy, holds Michael Flynn in contempt.

The Military Can’t Let Michael Flynn Just Get Away With Supporting a Coup

The former national security adviser’s behavior is reckless and disgraceful. Is it also illegal?

@ArenaCops His brother was in on suppressing the response during J6, delaying DC NG assistance and that motherfucker got *promoted* Yes, Flynn should have been held accountable, no, Flynn should not be receiving his pension. Garland should have prosecuted from the top down. We’re living with the consequences of all these failures. The very first thing Kegseth did was get rid of the JAGs. Nobody can do shit anymore through the judicial or military justice systems. @Nonilex

@lawyersgunsnmoney @Nonilex I fully agree with all those points you made. Especially that prosecution should've started with the lawless Jan 6 ringleaders, to prevent them from future self-exculpation, obstruction & perversion of justice, as seen after Jan 20, 2025, when the inciter-in-chief of Jan 6 absurdly returned to White (-orange) House to further mutilate, corrupt & pervert U.S. government, directed by subversive "Heritage Foundation" insurrectionists & greedy anti-regulation tax-dodger Musk.
