Breaking News: Unpacking the Dismissal of Michael Flynn—Constitutional Crossroads in Executive Power and Justice
The May 2020 motion by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to dismiss all charges against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn marked a watershed moment in the ongoing debate over executive authority, separation of powers, and the proper role of the Department of Justice in politically charged prosecutions. Flynn, who pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the FBI about his communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in January 2017, saw his case abruptly upended when Attorney General William Barr, acting on a recommendation from U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen, filed a motion to dismiss “with prejudice” the criminal information against Flynn.
