President Donald Trump stated Thursday morning that all charges raised against Gen. Mike Flynn, his former National Security Adviser, should be dropped.
Trump, in a serious of tweets, referenced the exculpatory evidence released by Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell on Wednesday, which appears to show Federal Bureau of Investigation officials debating how to entrap Flynn.

“Does anybody really believe that Roger Stone, a man whose house was raided early in the morning by 29 gun toting FBI Agents (with Fake News @CNN closely in toe), was treated fairly,” he wrote. “Same scammers as General Flynn!”
“What happened to General Michael Flynn, a war hero, should never be allowed to happen to a citizen of the United States again,” he added in a follow-up tweet.
Does anybody really believe that Roger Stone, a man whose house was raided early in the morning by 29 gun toting FBI Agents (with Fake News @CNN closely in toe), was treated fairly. How about the jury forewoman with her unannounced hatred & bias. Same scammers as General Flynn!

The notes were uncovered by the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri after Attorney General Bill Barr directed him to review Flynn’s case.
