It is pretty remarkable, that 2 years ago
Kevin B Broke (the Hill's opinion contributor), listed out as he called 'oddities' in Flynn's case. [1]
And the listed oddities (see 3) is exactly how DOJ explained dropping the case:

Oddity No. 1: Then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe personally contacted Flynn on the second full working day of the Trump administration and asked him to meet with FBI agents, a meeting that McCabe reportedly characterized as no big deal....
... McCabe’s request apparently came at the direction of his boss, former FBI Director James Comey ..
Oddity No. 2: The fact that a 302 was immediately generated is an oddity. A 302 normally is used only as a reporting mechanism in criminal cases when it is anticipated that the information obtained may be used in subsequent litigation and testimony.

Oddity No. 3: The interview results reflected on the 302 seem untethered from the Russia collusion counterintelligence investigation. The only way FBI agents can legitimately interview Flynn is through an authorized FBI investigation — in this case, the Russia collusion counterintelligence case examining “links” between the Russian government and the Trump campaign to interfere with the 2016 presidential campaign.
