Will Sidney Powell, Flynn's new lawyer, expose even more about Spygate?

"What is Michael Flynn’s new “GREAT LAWYER, Sidney Powell” up to? And what might it mean for Flynn and those seeking the truth about Spyggate [sic]?"

"Let’s start with a quick review. On November 30, 2017, Special Counsel Robert Mueller charged President Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, Flynn, with lying to FBI agents about conversations he had in December 2016 with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. The next day, Flynn pled guilty to the offense, pursuant to a plea agreement before federal judge Rudolph Contreras."

"Less than a week later, for a still-unexplained reason, Flynn’s case was transferred to Judge Emmet Sullivan..."

"Following these exchanges, Sullivan proceeded to chastising Flynn. “I’m not hiding my disgust, my disdain for this criminal offense,” Sullivan told the retired lieutenant general, with the long-time federal judge intimating that he may well sentence Flynn to incarceration—as opposed to zero jail time as recommended by the government."

"In the midst of his diatribe, Sullivan incorrectly stated that Flynn had been working as a foreign agent while serving as Trump’s national security advisor, and suggested that Flynn may have even committed treason. “Arguably, you sold your country out,” Sullivan seethed."

"We already know that the FBI was listening in Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador. But was the FBI also listening in on Flynn’s call to “senior transition officials”? The details in the Statement of Offense raise that question."

[ManHunter]

A pretty lengthy and detailed article, but worth a read. There is a great deal about the Flynn case that is highly unusual, beginning with the fact that he pled guilty one day after changed, Sullivan chastised Flynn, then recanted (apologized, for all intents and purposes) and, thus far, has yet to be sentenced.

What is not mentioned in this article is the fact that the agents who initially interviewed Flynn - all of whom are believed to have read the transcripts of Flynn's conversation with Ambassador Kislyak - stated in a 302 that they believed Flynn was truthful.

I would add that I happen to know Mike Flynn and I'm very familiar with his military service. Aside from being one of the finest general officers I've ever known, it is not in Flynn's DNA to lie about anything. He's the kind of guy who'd take a round for his boss or for his troops and his well-earned reputation is that he's "brutally frank and honest to a fault." Anyone who knows him knows he didn't lie about anything - and we haven't even touched on the fact that Andrew McCabe basically set him up...

Powell will call witnesses until the left can’t stand it anymore.

A defense fund has been set up for Gen. Flynn by his family and friends:

This lady seems to know where a lot of intelligence community bodies are buried. She’s the best choice for Flynn’s defense.

The IC scum who tried to destroy him should be hung.

Will Flynn’s lawyer expose more about Spygate? Depends on who is this lawyer’s client. Is it really Flynn or is the client really the Deep State and Flynn is being lied to by the lawyer.

[G Larry]

"At this time, it is impossible to know what, if anything, the special counsel’s office withheld from Flynn’s attorneys, because the material provided to defense counsel, for the most part, was not filed with the court. However, if something is missing from the file, Powell is best positioned to realize its absence."

"...it is safe to say that seeking to dismiss the criminal charges based on prosecutorial misconduct offers two advantages over Flynn attempting to withdraw his guilty plea. First, seeking dismissal for prosecutorial misconduct will allow Powell to highlight government misconduct without implying that Flynn has not fully accepted responsibility for his crime.

Second, and relatedly, such a motion would expose efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI to spy on, and interfere with, the Trump campaign, transition team, and administration, visa-via Flynn, which would then play well for a future pardon request."

[volunbeer]

There is a compelling reason that Flynn has not been sentenced.

What is that reason? What possible cooperation could he be providing the government at this point and WHO is the target of such cooperation?

I do not see anything he could be cooperating about so why the delay?

My best guess is that they want him to remain silent. As long as this matter is pending he cannot talk about it, but why has he requested to postpone sentencing?

I am thankful that he hired her so maybe we will get some answers.

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 and if Pelosi knew, Schumer knew),
<><> They conveyed info gained from Steele, a close to associate of Jonathan Winer.

=============================

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.

Powell will represent her client first and foremost. You can take that to the bank. She is NOT a minion of the deep state if you have read her book and listened to her.

In fact, she is the arch-nemesis of Mueller’s pit bull and she is well versed in the games he plays after writing one of the best books I have ever read that logically exposed malfeasance on the part of the government in a criminal case that centered around the chief protagonist of Flynn.

He could not have made a better choice for a lawyer.

[Parley Baer]

“There is a compelling reason that Flynn has not been sentenced”

I agree. I think the judge smells a rat.

[Nifster]

Sydney is the lady to do it

Well said and worth repeating!

“This lady seems to know where a lot of intelligence community bodies are buried. She’s the best choice for Flynn’s defense.”

I hope you’re right. I would have preferred a more “go for the throat guy” like Joe Genova. The judge in the case, Emmett Sullivan, seems to be biased against an American hero, Gen. Flynn.

[Jamestown1630]

I’m pretty sure Powell can ‘go for the throat’ as well as any man.

[kenmcg]

“Following these exchanges, Sullivan proceeded to chastising Flynn. “I’m not hiding my disgust, my disdain for this criminal offense,” Sullivan told the retired lieutenant general, with the long-time federal judge intimating that he may well sentence Flynn to incarceration—as opposed to zero jail time as recommended by the government.

In the midst of his diatribe, Sullivan incorrectly stated that Flynn had been working as a foreign agent while serving as Trump’s national security advisor, and suggested that Flynn may have even committed treason. “Arguably, you sold your country out,” Sullivan seethed.”

Sullivan should be removed from the case, as he has no knowledge of what went on. He wouldn’t qualify as a pimple on Flynn’s rear end. Flynn served his country well and didn’t get where he is as a political hack affirmative action beneficiary.

[WASCWatch]

Sydney Powell has a deep hatred for Mueller and Weismann and their thoroughly dishonest and evil conduct in prosecuting innocent men.

[polymuser]

“Powell will call witnesses until the left can’t stand it anymore.”

And make the rats’ legal expenses soar. Maybe many will have to get second mortgages? Hope a few and their spouses get SWAT’d at 4 am.

Gee, the rats ain’t gonna like being forced to swallow their own medicine. Karma’s a biotch, baby!
