Vice President Mike Pence said he would welcome the return of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn to President Trumps administration after the Justice Department last week dropped criminal charges against the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Gen. Michael Flynn is an American patriot,\u201d Pence said during an interview with Axios<\/a> on HBO in Iowa on Friday. \u201cHe served his country with great distinction in uniform, and now I believe the decision the Justice Department lays bare what was clearly prosecutorial abuse. And for my part, Id be happy to see Michael Flynn again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flynn pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017, to one count of lying during a Jan. 24, 2017, interview with the FBI about his interactions with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before Trump took office, which the Department of Justice (DOJ) has since said \u201cseems to have been undertaken only to elicit those very false statements and thereby criminalize Mr. Flynn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has concluded that the interview of Mr. Flynn was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBIs counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn\u2014a no longer justifiably predicated investigation that the FBI had, in the Bureaus own words, prepared to close because it had yielded an absence of any derogatory information,\u201d said Timothy Shea, interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, in his May 6 motion to dismiss.<\/p>\n

Pences comments come after President Trump last month said he would \u201ccertainly consider\u201d rehiring Flynn<\/a>, adding that he expected him to be \u201cfully exonerated\u201d and to be \u201ccapable of coming back,\u201d but did not state in wRead More From Source<\/a>
