The Judge who recused himself [or was removed] from the Flynn case, Rudolph Contreras, was a personal friend of both Strzok and Lisa Page, whose text messages express how pleased they were after Contreras was appointed to the FISC. So, an FBI agent who was a key player in RussiaRussiaRussia and interviewed Flynn was buds with the Judge hearing the Flynn case.
Contreras recused himself after the guilty plea, it appears that he was familiar with Strzok but not "buds". Best that he withdrew.


He was replaced randomly by Sullivan.

It wasn't obtained "illegally", maybe you have other examples of the DOJ dropping a case with a guilty plea.

Even documents from the FBI showing they went after him and you still don’t get it..
Unbelievable.. no wonder Obama destroyed our economy and divided us

The short answers: The Justice Department is giving him a break. And Flynn has played his cards well.

The long answer: It's a long story.

Michael Flynn Pleaded Guilty. Why Is The Justice Department Dropping The Charges?

Hmmm, let's dig into this a bit.

On January 5th, 2017, at a meeting, Obama gave guidance to key officials tasked with protecting utilization of Clinton campaign research from being discovered by Trump's new administration.

Susan Rice sends an email to herself about a meeting attended by AG Sally Yates, FBI director Jim Comey, and VP Biden.

Shortly thereafter, high-level operatives began intensely leaking selective info, incoming Nat Security Advisor was ambushed, the incoming AG was forced to recuse himself, and leaks continued with the key strategy to take down Trump.

Information on Russia was not fully shared with the Trump team, leaks and ambushes caused chaos, scared away quality staff, and National Security was damaged. Before Comey got fired on May 9th, he managed to launch a Special Counsel Probe. That ended obviously with Mueller-Time being reduced to a stumbling mumbling failure.

Further timeline:

January 4th: Following an investigation of Flynn, the leadership of the FBI reopened the case to "deal with" Flynn, as in "get [Flynn} fired." Peter Strzok and Lisa Page referred to the 7th Floor as Comey and Andrew McCabe as "running the show." Oh, we saw the "show" alright.

January 5th: Yates, Comey, CAI director John Brennan, and Director of NI James Clapper briefed Obama on Russia related matters in the WH. Biden and Rice were there. Obama gave his guidance on how to "perpetuate the Russia collusion theory Investigations, talked about the conversation Flynn had with Kislyak," according to Comey and Yates.

"Interestingly, Clapper, Comey, and Yates all said they did not brief Obama about these phone calls."

Susan Rice probably leaked it to Obama. Comey mentions the Logan Act at this meeting.

Susan Rice sends another "email" to herself going off about being "by the book", and whether and how to "withhold national security information" from the incoming Trump team.

Wow, it just goes on and on.

Yeah, that's right. A few folks out there lap this garbage up, and every time Trump knocks them on their can, they get furious and blow their collective head gaskets.

It's because our government is corrupt. It's as plain and as simple as that.

This just confirmed to me how corrupt this administration is. The man DID plead GUILTY on two counts. Barr is working for trump clearly.

Take it up with Obama, who pardoned Marine Corps General James E. Cartwright, who was also the former vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for lying to the FBI. You people are the worst hypocrites.

Wasnt contreras the one that Strozk and Page were coordinating to attend a dinner event where they could talk to him? (In the texts they discovered by them).
