Neal Katyal on DoJ Dropping Case Against Flynn: ‘This Is the Collapse of the Justice Department’

EXCERPT:

KATYAL: "Nicolle, it’s not just lies but admitted lies. Michael Flynn went twice before the court and said, 'I did it.' The last time he said, quote, 'I recognize the actions I acknowledge in court today were wrong and that through my faith in God I am working to set things right.' Boy, I mean, the idea that the Justice Department could do this, you called it stunning. It’s past stunning. This is the collapse of the Justice Department, as Chuck and I and others who have worked there knew it. And there are tens of thousands of federal prisoners in jail right now, none of them got this kind of review of scouring to find anything that might possibly be construed as showing his innocence and particularly not after they pled guilty. The rule of law, if it means anything, is the idea that justice is blind. This is not blind. This is open-eyed. This is a political and incredibly destructive thing to the rule of law."
