General Flynn Hires Top Attorney and Weissmann Critic Sidney Powell
GP ^ | June 12,2019 | Cristina Laila

Sidney Powell will represent General Michael Flynn.

“He is and will continue to cooperate with the government in all aspects,” Powell told SaraACarter.com. “He and his family truly appreciate all the cards and letters of support from countless people and the contributions to the defense fund which are even more important now.”

Powell noted that Flynn’s case file, “is massive” and “it will take me at least 90 days to review it.”

In a recent interview with The Epoch Times Sidney Powell blasted the appalling two-tiered judicial system in the United States today where General Michael Flynn can get set up and prosecuted by deep state operatives while Peter Strzok can leak and lie and get off scot free.

In December 2018 Powell accused the Mueller team of destroying evidence and obstructing justice in the Flynn case.

This is going to get very interesting. What good news for General Flynn!

Powell needs to get on this.

The execrable Susan Rice's email sent to herself on Trump's inauguration day---just hours before she was scheduled to leave purported to document part of the strange meeting Obama held.

As Obama's top security aide, Rice was nervous about the fact that, at the president’s direction, she had failed
“to share information fully as it relates to Russia” with President Trump’s incoming national security team........

NOTE: Rice was being replaced by Gen Flynn.

Her actions violated longstanding American tradition. Outgoing administrations have always cooperated in the transition to a new administration, whether of the same or the opposing party, especially on matters relating to national security.

Susan Rice is far from the brightest bulb on the tree, but she was well aware that by concealing facts ostensibly relating to national security from her counterpart in the new administration–General Michael Flynn–she was, at a minimum, violating longstanding civic norms.

If she actually lied to Flynn, she could have been accused of much worse. So Rice wanted to be able to retrieve her email, if she found herself in a sticky situation, and tell the world that she hid relevant facts about Russia from the new administration on Barack Obama’s orders.

What were the secrets that Obama wanted to keep from the new Trump administration?
We can easily surmise that
<><>the Steele memo was paid for by the Democratic Party;
<><>that the FBI had to some degree collaborated with Steele;
<><>that the Clinton campaign had fed some of the fake news in the dossier to Steele;
<><>that Comey’s FBI had used Steele’s fabrications as the basis for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.

These were among the facts that Obama and his minions didn’t want Michael Flynn and Donald Trump to know. Susan Rice, we can infer, was told to keep these secrets, and if anyone ever asked why she had failed to disclose them to Michael Flynn and others on Trump’s team, or even lied to those people, she would have the defense that President Obama ordered her to do it.

There may be more to it than this. The redacted paragraph likely contains more information about what it was that Rice wasn’t supposed to tell the Trump team. One of these days, we will learn what was blacked out.

The fact that Michael Flynn was Susan Rice’s counterpart in the incoming administration may also be significant. We know that the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn–even Peter Strzok!–reported that they didn’t think he had lied about anything.

And yet, Obama’s DOJ and Bob Mueller’s “investigation”–basically a continuation of Obama’s corrupt Department of Justice under another, less accountable name–persecuted Flynn to the point where he finally pled guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI in order, as he says, to end the madness and the financial drain.

Why were the Democrats so determined to discredit General Flynn? Perhaps because they wanted to pre-empt any outrage that may otherwise have followed on revelations that the Obama administration’s National Security Advisor hid important facts from Gen Flynn, her successor, during the transition, and may have lied to him about those facts, in violation of all American tradition.

THIS JUST IN---QUOTING TOM FITTON, JUDICIAL WATCH PRESIDENT:
Obama's State Dept was all hands on deck in terms of targeting Trump (as the candidate then as president).

<><> meetings with Glen Simpson, Steele, Clinton aides, Sid Blumenthal and Clinton associate, Cody Shearer.
<><> There was more than one dossier going to the FBI and DOJ.....
<><> there was Christopher Steele's dossier,
<><> and a second dossier created by the State Dept itself, targeting Trump.
<><> shows Jonathan Winer and Glen Simpson were in contact Sept 2016
<><> Winer immediately contacted Victoria Nuland, a top aide at the Obama State Dept.
<><> Post-election, they worked hand in glove with top Dem Steny Hoyer's guy on Russian issues.
<><> (which means if Steny knew, Pelosi knew),
<><> They conveyed info gained from Steele, a close to associate of Jonathan Winer.

Actually, Ms Powell is a VERY, very cool customer....about as good as it gets. She knows what and where all the dirt is. Too bad Mike didn’t have her from the beginning.

That 2-tier justice system can be found throughout our judicial system. People like Hillary! and Peter Strzok can get away with many things that a common citizen of the U.S. cannot.

I saw Mark Levin interview Sydney Powell on his Sunday show, and, I was very impressed by her. I am so glad that Flynn hired her as his lawyer. This guy was set-up by the "deep state" actors and he needs to be defended by someone NOT connected to the very people who railroaded him.

I don’t recall this happening after the 2000 election.

I seem to recall that there was a female who worked for Gen Flynn and then worked for Andrew McCabe once she left the service. There were sexual harassment allegations against one of McCabes men against this female and Gen Flynn confronted the FBI to bring action. McCabe then was all out to get Flynn. It was personal.

The anti-Trump actions were a completely other, non affiliated program.

Great hire by Flynn.

Someone needs to start a GoFundMe campaign to pay for Flynn’s legal expenses.

Flynn could be a key in exposing the nefarious tactics of The Left that is threatening freedom and democracy.

It could be even better actually. Mueller’s thugs were most likely a lot more careless thinking that they had a Deep State law firm managing things on the client side for them. Now Powell gets to rummage through all of that dirty laundry to see what comes up.

"Ms Powell is a VERY, very cool customer...."

Have seen her on Tucker Carlson and a few other shows - pretty straight forward and smart as a whip.

Yeah they made using the key boards easier to use with one letter unusable: “W”. They also helped by removing the old silverware and plates so the new president could use new stuff.

A law firm that includes Eric Holder. Seems very suspicious to me.

Powell interview 5/31. She sounds like she would be a good candidate for deputy AG too:
