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defendant Flynns claims of negligent or corrupt representation, which would bolster his request to have his guilty plea withdrawn.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.
