[USSA News] Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, former National Security Advisor for the first 22 days of the Trump administration, has taken legal action against the US government. In a bold move, Flynn is suing the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the US government for $50 million, citing malicious prosecution and gross abuse of power.
Similar stories in the NYT and Western Journal, behind paywalls, I imagine.
The case against Flynn was dropped by the DOJ but was pursued by Judge Emmet Sullivan for months. Flynn was eventually pardoned by President Trump after facing persecution by the government.

Recently, the American public learned through court proceedings that the charges against Flynn should never have been filed in the first place. And now, Flynn is seeking accountability and damages from the government for the wrongs committed against him through its agents and agencies.

The lawsuit, which was filed in US federal court, seeks relief for Flynn’s violated constitutional and legal rights. It specifically highlights the unjustified and illegal actions taken by the government’s agents and agencies, which resulted in the malicious prosecution and gross abuse of power against Flynn.
I wonder where it'll be tried? Will he get a DC jury?

#1 I guess it is worth a try. If he draws a Biden appointed, McConnell endorsed judge, he needs to shut it down quick.

#3 I read elsewhere its a federal court in Florida.
"Defendant maliciously investigated and prosecuted General Flynn by initiating and continuing a baseless counterintelligence investigation and by filing a criminal information lacking probable cause,” says the suit, filed on March 3 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida (pdf)."

#5 He (along with many others) got railroaded by Obama and the Deep State. He was an 18 hour-per-day guy while in uniform, I can tell you that. Whatever he can squeeze outta those bastids, he and his family deserves.

#6 As long as one is fantasizing, I'd to see every last cent squeezed out of the jackasses who caused the harm. In other words there should be personal accountabilty.
