Justice Department agrees to pay ex-Trump adviser Michael Flynn in settlement over wrongful prosecution lawsuit

The level of corruption in this administration is off the scale. When Trump can just order the government to pay himself, or pay one of his goons. And who exactly is lining up to stop him?

Current Justice Department agrees to unlawfully pay a criminal for the correct legal actions of a former Justice Department. There I fixed the headline for you!

These fuckers are taking taxpayer money left and f****** right they are raping this country literally with children and money

They had every right to prosecute him, and after he was pardoned by 45 his trial was dismissed. Now they're paying him off? smh

The Justices Department is Trump’s private law firm.

I'm sick of Nazis getting taxpayer money

But we can’t afford healthcare.

Oh, yeah. This guy was a Q Anon weirdo. I'm guessing he no longer cares about children being trafficked. Funny how that works . . .

Wrongful prosecution in a case where he ADMITTED TO IT. 

*Trump agrees to give taxpayer money to his crony for breaking the law...

Maybe the most brazenly corrupt traitor of them all. Among the panoply, his traitorous crimes include working with the Turkish government to kidnap a Turk living in Pennsylvania to forcibly abduct him to Turkey because he's an Erdogan political rival that Erdogan wants dead / jailed. Not extradition, mind you, but a private kidnapping operation wholly devoid of the law. It's shitty, Tom Clancy-level villainy and this hopelessly corrupt, stupid f****** country won't do a f****** thing except PAY THE TRAITOR OUR TAX MONEY.

The Justice Department has [reached a settlement with Michael Flynn](https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/25/politics/michael-flynn-settlement-justice-department?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=reddit), Donald Trump’s former national security adviser who sued the government for millions of dollars over what he alleged to be a wrongful prosecution. In a brief court filing Wednesday, lawyers for both Flynn and the Justice Department said they reached an agreement to drop the lawsuit and for Flynn to receive “settlement funds.” The filing did not include the amount of money, nor did it elaborate on any other terms of the settlement. Flynn sued the government for $50 million, alleging that the FBI tried to entrap him in the early days of the Trump administration. His accusations stemmed from a criminal case in which Flynn admitted to lying to the FBI about his interactions with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and in a Justice Department disclosure regarding his lobbying firm’s work for Turkey in 2016. He agreed at the time to cooperate in the Mueller investigation, and helped special counsel Robert Mueller piece together several instances where it was later alleged President Donald Trump attempted to obstruct the investigation. Just before he was set to be sentenced, Flynn asked the judge overseeing his prosecution to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea. The Justice Department later moved to drop the case against him, and Flynn was pardoned by Trump. CNN has reached out to attorneys for Flynn. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Justice Department agrees to pay, WITH YOUR MONEY,... Not Bondi, Not Taco, but with your money for a lawsuit they created.

No one cares about anything, any longer. You show people outright corruption and they just shrug.

The wrongful prosecution he pleaded guilty to. 🙄

One big grift, all of it. Pure corruption.

"Justice" Department agrees to give a criminal, insurrectionist piece of shit and full-time lunatic money for having his fee-fees being hurt for being held accountable for doing crimes. When does the orange idiot get his $10 billion "settlement" from the IRS? Is that before or after his funnels his Board of Peace 10 billion, or later? Or is it rolled into the billions stolen from Venezuela? I'm losing track of the scale of grifting and theft of the people.

Criminal. Bondi should be charged and tried for obstruction of justice.

F****** grifters all scamming US taxpayers 

Treason pays apparently. Disgusting. They won't even disclose the amount, who knows how much they're robbing the taxpayer for. Remember, trump was demanding $230 million from the DoJ for himself, and another $10 billion from the IRS. Then he went quiet about it, uncharacteristically. Now the floodgates are open. We'll never know how much they're stealing.

While Joe did a lot of things right this mess is definitely got his name on it. None of this should have been slow walked. Merrik Garland should have been removed and replaced. What is happening now should have been stopped before it happened by the last administration and examples made. No more oh let the past be the past and let’s build a new bla bla bla together. This is what happens when justice is not delivered swiftly.

Bro f*** this countryn man. It's chopped

Public money being used for private corruption. DOJ has to be burned to the ground after this. There is nothing worth saving.

He was pardoned. That comes with an acknowledgement of guilt. This is absurd on its face, and transparently corrupt, even by this regimes standards.

This guys is traitor. No question about it.

What an age to live in America, where the crazier, shittier, more corrupt or stupider you are, the more likely you are to be rewarded. Commit crimes while working for a corrupt president, get paid; call someone the "N word", get paid; be married to a major shithead and capitalize on it and get paid...

They do this because he is a criminal and was incarcerated for numerous crimes of treason. They want to get rid of his corruption

Didn’t he cop a plea?

Wow

The entire “settle frivolous lawsuits as a way to extract rent from taxes” is such a powerful grift.

Wtf is wrong with America?

We’re financing our own destruction

Ah Flyn-Fact in fact.

F*** that shit!

Ok, America failed, pitch it.

This is the worst timeline.

A lot of people are saying Trump gets a cut

We can gripe about the level of corrupstion, that is happening on the daily, but who is going to do anything about it? Well, they knoe, no one. So they continue. I went to dinner with a Trump voter and asked if they were still happy with their vote. Only response, ' what, gas prices?' The level of ignorance and tainted media has forsaken this country.

that's how corruption works 

Trump is using the Treasury to pay off his accomplices.

The Justice Department has reached a settlement with Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser who sued the government for millions of dollars over what he alleged to be a wrongful prosecution. The accusations in Flynn’s lawsuit stemmed from a criminal case brought in December 2017 — during Trump’s first year in office — in which Flynn admitted to lying to the FBI about his interactions with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and in a Justice Department disclosure regarding his lobbying firm’s work for Turkey a year earlier. He agreed at the time to cooperate in the Mueller investigation, and helped special counsel Robert Mueller piece together several instances where it was later alleged President Donald Trump attempted to obstruct the investigation.

It's the newest scam in Washington: When your side is in power, commit crimes. When the other side is in power they try to bring you to justice. When your side is back in power, sue for wrongful prosecution and they are happy to not fight it and give you everything you demand. This is why the DOJ and all government departments are supposed to be independent.
