JUSTICE AT LAST
This has been a great week for justice. The baseless case against former National Security Adviser (and former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency) General Michael Flynn has been dropped by the Department of Justice. This case was rotten to the core, with evidence surfacing recently that FBI agents tried to, in their words, “get him to lie”—and much more. In the fight against an over-politicized Department of Justice, this decision is wonderful news indeed — and an American patriot has had his honor restored.

OVERDUE TRANSPARENCY
In other news, on the evening of Thursday, May 7, transcripts of interviews conducted by the House Intelligence Committee in 2017 and 2018 were finally released. Several of my colleagues and I have written multiple letters asking for these transcripts to be released, and I am glad they have finally been made public. These documents further reveal that the unlawful surveillance on the Trump Campaign was entirely politically motivated. We must ensure that the weaponization of the Department of Justice, and our intelligence agencies, never happens again.
