STOP THE PRESSES! This may not be true. Late Last week, or early this week I read a story about this and about the Judge refusing to allow Flynn to change attorney.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/judge-wont-allow-flynn-to-fire-his-attorneys

A federal judge denied the request by Michael Flynn’s lawyers to withdraw from his case. Attorneys for President Trump’s former national security adviser said in a court filing Thursday that Flynn was “terminating” them as their counsel.

“General Flynn has notified the undersigned that he is terminating Covington & Burling as his counsel and has already retained new counsel for this matter,” Robert Kelner and Stephen Anthony wrote. ... This Clinton appointed judge is a real piece of shit. He had what was obviously attorney client privileged recordings and transcripts released. One wonders how he they were able to legally obtain these, I don't know. .

A judge cannot refuse to allow a defendant to change attorneys.

The report last week was about a procedural matter. The judge ordered Flynn to complete the paperwork properly for a valid "change of counsel" process.

No offense, but there's nothing more annoying these days than fake news about fake news.

It has been confirmed. Sidney Powell now represents General Flynn.

That reporting was erroneous- the order was returned because Flynn attorneys didnt include everything with their filings.

Judge Emmet Sullivan is also the guy who presided over the trial of Senator Ted Stevens. In the end he set aside the conviction, and went after 4 of the prosecuters for malfeasance.
