Attorney John Durham must vigorously pursue the investigation and prosecution of any FBI and Justice Department senior officials involved in conspiring to destroy a great American patriot.

I'd say Flynn went pretty far in tarnishing his reputation when he lied to Pence and Trump fired him for it.

The FBI didn't do that.

It looks like the new dates for everyone to deal with what Powell has already submitted, the twin motions to grant a re-trial and the motion to dismiss - the Judge has given the Prosecutors until May 11 to file a response, and Powell gets a week to file a rebuttal. So, May 18 the dueling orders could be complete.

From the docket:

MINUTE ORDER as to MICHAEL T. FLYNN. Upon consideration of 181 Defendant's Supplement re 162 Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Case for Egregious Government Misconduct and in the Interest of Justice, the government shall file a response to Mr. Flynn's Supplement by no later than May 11, 2020, and Mr. Flynn shall file his reply by no later than May 18, 2020. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 4/27/2020. (lcegs3)

BUT - there is one big but - neither Flynn's former attorneys nor the Government have completed and certified to the court that they have finally turned over all the materials they are required to turn over. In the case of his former law firm, Covington, this material could provide additional evidence to support defendant Flynns claims of negligent or corrupt representation, which would bolster his request to have his guilty plea withdrawn. So, after all that material is finally delivered, then Sidney will have some time to review it, and the file motions based on it. And there will then be time for the Prosecution to respond to those motions, and the defense to rebut the responses, again. We're talking June at the earliest on that.

And the same basic story applies to the production of evidence from the State, which is being done by a US Attorney for Missouri who was asked to review the prosecution by Barr (as this is the third case of Mueller's to blow up in court recently). So the same 1,2,3,4 combination has to take place with regard to whatever new documents the Government finally turns over:
1. Doc delivery complete
2. Defense review and motion citing them, if desired
3. Response to filing by Prosecution
4. Rebuttal to Response by Defense.

It's pretty clear that the guy Barr installed to look into the Flynn prosecution

is talking to Durham, the guy Barr appointed to look into SpyGate. (Sidney Powell said some of the most recent documents provided to her came stamped by Durham's operation.)

So the Flynn case unraveling and being debunked is a component of Durham's larger debunking of the entire SpyGate/Muh Russia conspiracy that he's been tasked to get to the bottom of.

Assuming Powell finds things in all those papers she's owed still, and this case is still dragging out in June, it might be possible that Durham will finally have indicted someone by the time Flynn is being given his walking papers. It will be very hard for Sullivan to punish Flynn if the people who indicted him are themselves, all indicted on charges of political corruption surrounding their activities which this case is an integral part of.

The prosecutors are Mueller’s. Mueller personally signed the “information” charging Flynn with a crime.

Generally speaking, Special Council are a department without oversight.

That said, it is fairly common belief that SC are selected to operate outside the law for political revenge or government whitewash purposes. The job is the opposite of justice.

He’s an energetic armchair analyst. He has some incredible insights, have to give him great credit for that, but he occassionaly make HUGE mistakes on certain “legal” principles.

He has some contacts. Sidney Powell posted there before she took on the Flynn case.

The prosecutors are Mueller’s.

And, there were also prosecutors of Flynn that were Asst US Attorneys, who worked directly for DOJ (Barr).

I think the whole of Mueller’s team had day jobs, either FBI or DOJ. The prosecuting attorneys were on loan from DOJ.

But the case is Mueller’s, and any malfeasance in the case stops at HIS desk, not that of the DOJ.

They need to hold the people who did this accountable with the same vigor they used to destroy people over process crimes.

They need to fix the 1001 charge. If there is no predicate crime there can be no 1001 violation. Period. How can you lie about a material fact in a fraudulent investigation? If I ask you 100 questions that you must recall from memory about a specific event I can find a “crime.” Think about that for a minute.... it’s absurd!

There was NO CRIME. Period. No collusion, no FARA, and no Logan Act. Therefore, there can be no lie because the entire investigation was illegitimate.

They will not fix this crap and ultimately, the blame lies on Trump.

If he does not fix this, the left will destroy him and his family with endless investigations long after he has retired to Florida. Mark my words. These people play for keeps and they are out for blood. They are going to win because the opposition party is too stupid to understand this and apparently too weak to fight back.

The left has most of the media, Hollywood, culture, academia, the courts, DOJ, and the FBI.

We have Judicial Watch and a few congressmen with some stones.

We are losing. We will come out of this pandemic even weaker with many more investigations to follow.

Enough is enough.

Sidney Powell posted there before she took on the Flynn case.

She's posted since taking the case too, under her old name. Mostly just saying "thank you to everyone here for your research and support" - not talking about the specifics of the case at all.

She has been doing another round of TV interviews this last week, with the new material being released, and her motion was unsealed so she can go talk about it.

Judge Sullivan issued an order telling her "stop filing motions based on new discovery. Wait until they have said it's complete, then file one motion on all of it". which he said was in the interest of efficiency (and that seems like a legit reason given the 1-2-3-4 steps have been gone through over and over as each new previously withheld bit of exculpatory evidence is put forward.

But it's still quite bizarre. She is in "wait and see" mode, and there is no telling how long the Government will take to find everything and turn it over to her.

June is the earliest. The real date is at least a month after all the exculpatory evidence is finally submitted. Could be July, could be August.

No, it lands in Andrew Weissman’s lap. Mueller was obviously his sock puppet and incapable of running anything.

Yes! I could not agree more. I've been saying for two years that the only thing that really matters is that Trump indict people, the more and higher up the better.

There needs to be FEAR among them, that they will be indicted and (at minimum) lose pensions, have to spend millions defending themselves, and possibly go to prison for a while.

It's like a boxing match, if you don't put a little fear into your opponent early in the match, that you have a punch that can hurt him, then it's going to be a short ugly affair. Like Tommy Hearns in his long string of KO victories in the 1980s, he took the measure of his opponents and then went to work pummeling them until the went down.

Marvin Haggler ended that early in the first round with a right that got Tommy's attention, and made him try to box Hagler from the outside. It didn't work in the end.

Team Trump hasn't hit the Deep State with one solid punch, and it's round 9. Deep State has no fear of Trump, which is why guys like Brennan are still out there calling him names on TV every day.

The best defense is a good offense.

Failure to convince your opponent that they should fear you allows them to beat you mercelessly until you collapse. That's where the Deep State has had Trump until now.

Still hoping he comes off the ropes firing bombs and puts a stunning upset into the books. But the clock is running down on that.

Pence has been walking back his statements in light of recent Flynn document dumps...

I heard a brief audio clip from Powell on a twitter feed suggesting Mueller doesn't have all his facilities. She is going down that road....

His testimony to Congress left many viewers with the impression that he has some form of dementia or cognitive decline.

It's here, all 2:35:00 of it.

I know, which is weird. No one denies that Flynn talked to Kislyak about sanctions, and Pence made his incorrect claims publicly, supposedly based on what Flynn told him.

If Flynn didn’t lie to him who did?
