It took a pardon from President Donald Trump to get U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to finally dismiss prosecution of the Gen. Michael Flynn case. He dropped the case as moot, but said the clemency doesn’t mean that Flynn is innocent of lying to the FBI.

Appearing on “Mornings with Maria,” Flynn told anchor Maria Bartiromo, “We all know that this was an effort to get Flynn to get Trump. Don’t feel sorry for me, feel sorry for the presidency and the outrage of what they tried to do to this country.” Flynn added that there is an anti-American element within our government institutions that doesn’t want to see our country thrive in the way that President Trump was able to get it done.

Here more with Flynn, who goes into more detail on his case and opines on why it is taking so long to release the Durham Report.
