Just some background info regarding the Flynn memo. In addition to Robert Mueller, two others signed the memo: Brandon Van Grack and Zainab Ahmad. Some have speculated that those two signatories could indicate other cases to which Flynn has been providing information.

Brandon Van Grack: He is a prosecutor specializing in national security. He has a background in counter-espionage. His highest profile case includes the prosecution of Ardit Ferizi, a hacker who shared a kill list with ISIS.

Zainab Ahmad: She is also a prosecutor with expertise in international and extranational cases (i.e. crimes abroad). She has a long track record of bringing terrorists to justice. Her profile was written up the the New Yorker magazine (the magazine has a limited number of views per month for non subscribers). It looks interesting even though it’s from 2015. Interesting because it talked about Lindsay Graham and Sessions here (Although it’s the New Yorker, a lying member of the MSM):

“In the Senate, the drive to oppose and defund civilian trials for accused terrorists has long been led by the Republicans Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and Jeff Sessions of Alabama. “This is no way to fight a war,” the three senators and a group of their colleagues wrote, in a 2015 letter to Eric Holder, then the Attorney General. The letter referred, specifically, to several extraditions that Ahmad was involved in. The senators and their allies strongly prefer that foreign terrorists who target Americans be detained in the military prison at Guantánamo Bay and, when possible, tried by a military tribunal. In 2009, Sessions, who is now the Attorney General, added an amendment to a military spending bill titled “No Miranda Warnings for Al Qaeda Terrorists.”

Ahmad and her colleagues have been working meanwhile to develop, with considerable quiet success, a criminal-justice alternative to Guantánamo. It’s a high-wire act. The public has unique expectations of law enforcement with respect to terrorism. “When there’s a bank robbery, we try to solve the crime,” Ahmad said. “But nobody thinks our job is to stamp out bank robbery. Terrorism is different. People expect us to prevent it.” Many terror cases are difficult to make, with the strongest evidence often classified or inadmissible. “And we can’t afford to lose,” Ahmad told me. “We can’t get anything wrong. If we lost a major extraterritorial case, there might never be another chance.”

Thank you for this. I was wondering who they were.
