“”” Less than a week later, and without explanation, the case was reassigned to Sullivan, who has served as the presiding judge in the Flynn case since then”””
When will the DC Court release the documents as to why Contreras was removed from the Flynn case?
“a federal judge with a reputation for requiring fastidious compliance with the Brady rule” This is part of the problem. Even critics accept the Deep State propaganda. Everyone has a great reputation until they are exposed. Look at the Stevens case to see Sullivan’s “fastidious compliance with the Brady rule”.
I thought Contreras recused because of the alleged relationship between he and Strozk. Wasn’t this about the time the OIG advised the special counsel of the text messages?
Strozk was up until that point the key witness against Flynn.
Strozk left the special counsel, but they still had a problem in that the Judge hearing the Flynn case allegedly had an undisclosed relationship with the key witness indicating some kind of friendship or relationship beyond disinterested professionalism.
This relationship has never been clarified to my knowledge, but this is my best guess. The OIG, once they learned of the text messages and realized how bad they looked (despite his inability to call it bias) immediately notified the special counsel, DOJ, and possibly the court of what they contained.
