This week, former President Barack Obama reemerged from hibernation to lecture Americans about the threat to rule of law posed by the Trump administration.
After Attorney General William Barr announced that the Department of Justice would be dropping its case against President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI, Obama told his former aides, "our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk."
Obama explained: "There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. ... And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we've seen in other places."
In reality, of course, Flynn was never charged with perjury. He was charged with lying to the FBI in the course of an investigation – a separate and far lesser offense, particularly given the fact that his alleged lie was immaterial to any underlying crime.

And the person he allegedly lied to was fired for lying under oath to congress three times and fbi.
10:43 Are you sure about that? John Brennan. Our director of the CIA lies under oath when asked about the unmasking. But I bet you’re ok with that🙄 The bigger question is why you would believe anything the FBI says after learning all of this.
Just look at Obama's home town (Chicago) his brothers don't pay any attention to laws! Killing, robbing, stealing, highest in the nation!
Jail time folks. Talk is cheap as the saying goes. Round up those hooligans' and throw the key away.
