"I think you'll see things are going to start to come out. But what happened to General Flynn should never happen again in our country. He was persecuted and many or people were persecuted. y spied on a campaign and y should never spy on a campaign, to put it mildly. Never happened before in history of our country. "

U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for District of Columbia said in a 2-1 ruling that Justice Department's decision to abandon case against Flynn settles matter, even though Flynn pleed guilty as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation to lying to FBI.
