Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, said on Wednesday, "It's outrageous" the way Gen. Michael Flynn was treated by the FBI.
Grassley spoke on the day the Justice Department dropped the criminal case against Flynn, who was President Trump's first National Security Adviser.
Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador, but recently disclosed evidence shows the FBI went to Flynn's office four days after Trump's inauguration, hoping to trap Flynn in a lie. This happened after the FBI said it was prepared to close its counterintelligence case against Flynn because it had found no wrongdoing.
"First of all, he was entrapped," Grassley told Fox News's Brett Baier Thursday evening. "Entrapment is unconstitutional. It's a violation of your due process.
"Secondly, this thing would not be exposed if it hadn't been for (Attorney General William) Barr taking the bull by the horns and knowing something was wrong and going in and knowing where things were wrong, how to straighten it out.
"We haven't heard the end of Bill Barr's good work, because everything that's going on with the Durham investigation is another example of still other shoes to drop."
Baier asked Grassley if he thinks there are more "shoes to drop...that will shock Americans?"
"Not in regard to Flynn's part of it," Grassley said, "but in regard to Russiagate and in regard to FBI influence and malpractice and also in regard to a lot of FISA things, yes, I think there's more shoes to drop and I think there will be prosecutions."
The Justice Department's request to drop Flynn's case must be approved by a federal court in Washington.

Now it is insults being reverted to Col. I am neither an Elitist, nor a Racist. I am a True believer in God's Law, but always have had a problem with those who interpret those Laws and speak for Him. So go ahead those of you who wish to declare "Marshal Law". Please continue to pay blame in every nook and cranny. Who needs solutions when there are so many problems to create! When these discussions first came out, I actually believed they were like the "Tea Party" discussions. They quickly became topics of one upmanship. This once Great Nation is on the Brink of Failure, and collapse into Obscurity, and you people continue to argue over pieces of nothing. T. S. Elliot was correct, "This World will end not with a bang, but with a whimper." I am discontinuing and disconnecting from this site out of disgust .

Labeling reasoned argument as 'babble'' and 'ignorance' or calling over 600K dead, morally disgraced for engaging in the Civil War is in itself a moral disgrace. The Civil War was fought to free the slaves in order to restore our nation's moral footing with God. The soldiers in the North who died to set men free may take issue with you regarding the morality of their cause. This is especially true as it was their blood that helped to guarantee your liberty and the right to live free from the tyranny and fear of slavery.
we're going to be a slave to sin because it's our birthmark only through the Blood of Jesus we can be free from sin.
please, Lynn, don't do it
Ignorance is no excuse for babble Sir. Has it never dawned on anyone if indeed "Remuneration" had occurred , then the "Former Slaves" would just have easily had received "Pay" for their work? After all, the South could get easily have taken lessons from the North and "Charged" Rent for the Former Quarters, sold Food and Clothes in the Company stores.
You also forget Sir, that "Slaves" is a "Term, a Noun". It was the Spanish who first used Slaves on a large Scale in the New World. The Indigenous Peoples in their area quickly died out, and we're replaced not only from Africa, but our Illustrious Pilgrims sold Native Americans to them as Slave also! And let us not forget Monroe's experiment!
Elitism should never be an excuse for War, or Morality, when there are "Alternatives."

Hey! Lynn slavery was here before everything come to alight.
Lynn..,
I detect racist elitism in your posts... attempts to capitalize on White guilt for acts this generation and their parents never engaged in... Your dishonest attempt at an erudite diatribe is riddled with not so hidden deceit for innocent men and women, who merely share a long-dead culture and the moral disgrace attached to holding slaves. I would remind you that it was African tribes that engaged in slave trafficking ... with the capture, transport, and sale of slaves to white slavers. It is noteworthy to consider that slavery is still practiced in tribal cultures found in Africa. You are such a twit.
Well Lynn glad to see you agree with me... the South should have emancipated their slaves without payment... doing the moral thing as Christians... and then employed them as share-croppers and tradesmen... to work their lands and businesses at a wage or for a percentage of their crop... Many of the landholders in the South had set their slaves free and then employed them as share-croppers...
