Lt. Gen Michael Flynn is a “man on fire.” Righteous indignation and fierce patriotism has prompted Flynn, whose career Justice Department officials sought to destroy, to file a lawsuit against the FBI and DOJ.
The suit seeks $50 million in damages for “malicious prosecution.”
Unafraid of retribution, which he has already experienced for speaking out, Flynn has put the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice on notice — stating that “he is coming for them.”
His targets reportedly include former FBI Chief James Comey and President Obama, who directed the DOJ to prosecute Flynn just before Donald Trump took office.
Flynn was President Donald Trump’s national security advisor when defamed and falsely prosecuted by the FBI.
According to The Western Journal, Flynn is now seeking “$5 million in property damages and an additional $45 million in personal injury for the years-long persecution for allegedly lying to the FBI — a charge he has steadfastly denied.”
On Tuesday, Flynn announced the lawsuit on “The Absolute Truth with Emerald Robinson,” saying:
“I have gone back into the Department of Justice to let them know, to put them on notice, that I am going to sue these people — I don’t give a crap about the money … to let them know I’m not going to sit on my laurels, and do ‘woe is me,’ and wring my hands.”
Flynn continued: “We are going to go after these people. And we actually filed, very quietly, an intention to sue the Department of Justice, all of these people, from Jim Comey up to President Obama.”
According to Just the News, Flynn is seeking damages for “lost past and future earnings/revenue, emotional distress, lost opportunity to be President’s National Security Advisor, significant restraints of personal liberty, attorney fees/expenses and court costs in defending against malicious prosecution, abuse of process, false arrest,” et al.
Flynn’s filing adds that “of all of President Trump’s appointees, the Obama White House hated Flynn the most” and that the DOJ’s case “was goaded by political motivations, not a search for the truth or justice.”
Flynn’s filing asserted: “Beginning in July 2016, “the FBI began to express disdain for candidate Donald J. Trump and began to consider ways in which it could hamper Donald Trump as a candidate or as president, were he to win the 2016 election.”
The DOJ charged Flynn with making false statements to the FBI regarding a conversation he had with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak. Under advice from his first lawyer, Flynn pled guilty to the charge. But after new evidence emerged, Flynn retained new council, withdrew his guilty plea and was acquitted.
In May 2019, evidence revealed that FBI investigators knew that Flynn did not lie to them during their interrogations. Nevertheless, they pressed forward with charges based on the DOJ’s false narrative.
In a decision that further undermines confidence in the justice system, after the government dropped charges against Flynn, the presiding judge refused to close the case and took the highly questionable step of inviting outside legal opinion regarding options for continuing legal proceedings.
The judge’s refusal to close the case prompted then-President Trump to issue Flynn a full pardon.
In the filing, Flynn’s attorneys maintain that:
During that meritless and unlawful investigation and prosecution, Flynn was falsely and maliciously painted by the conspirators as a traitor to his nation who acted in concert with a foreign power, and the SCO even threatened Flynn’s son with prosecution unless Flynn were to plead guilty. The federal government’s targeting of a citizen for baseless criminal prosecution and eliciting a plea bargain through threatening of family members is outrageous conduct of the highest order. The fact that it was orchestrated and carried out at the highest levels of the FBI, DOJ and White House makes it all the more outrageous.
In December of 2020, Flynn told the Western Journal:
“We do not want a world governed by tyrants whom no one has elected and who want to have power in order to destroy us.
“We understand what their plan is: to eliminate dissent, subdue any criticism, and outlaw those who do not submit unconditionally to the dictatorship of the ‘new world order.’
“Let’s not forget that by the crimes they have committed,” he added, “they have violated our laws; they have betrayed our nation and their oath to serve our country, their oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”
