From the "What took so long?" files: Barr has tapped outside prosecutor to review case against Flynn

Attorney General William Barr has ordered an outside prosecutor to review the criminal case against Michael Flynn, President Trump's former national security adviser, sources tell The New York Times.
...
The report comes after the DOJ earlier this week reversed a decision to recommend a seven- to nine-year prison sentence for Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to Trump. That decision led the entire prosecutorial team to resign in an apparent protest.
...
Barr signaled his independence from Trump in an ABC News interview. That was followed by the DOJ announcing it would not bring criminal charges against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whom Trump has long considered a political enemy.​

From your source, something you elided:

Such reviews are rare and are likely to raise new questions about potential political interference by Department of Justice (DOJ) officials into cases.

Great news! I also heard they might be reopening the investigation into Hillary's e-mails! Now we're getting back to how the government SHOULD run. Investigating the wrongdoing by the enemies of justice.

I also heard they will try to investigate Obama's long form of birth certificate!

Why Is William Barr Really Criticizing Donald Trump?

Donald Ayer, who served as Deputy Attorney General under George H. W. Bush, said he remained deeply skeptical of Barr. “He really is shattering the traditions of the modern Justice Department,” Ayer told me. He and Gillers both said the stakes for the country are enormous. A foundational American ideal—that all people will be prosecuted equally under the law—is at stake. Gillers called losing the belief in equal justice “anathema.” “It deprives the country of its birthright,” he said. “That’s what makes us different.”
