I need you to launch an investigation into the Department of Justice's approval of Michael Flynn's lawsuit. Flynn is a confessed criminal who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials. The DOJ's decision to greenlight his legal action raises serious questions about whether the department is being weaponized to benefit those with political connections to Trump. Flynn admitted his crimes under oath. He cooperated with federal investigators and acknowledged his wrongdoing. Now the same Justice Department that prosecuted him appears to be facilitating his efforts to rehabilitate his reputation through the courts. This looks like preferential treatment for a Trump ally, and it undermines public confidence in equal justice under law. The American people deserve answers about who made this decision and what justification they used. If the DOJ is allowing confessed criminals to use the legal system as a political tool because of their relationship with a former president, that represents a fundamental corruption of the department's mission. Open an investigation into this approval process and make the findings public.
