Asking for “utmost confidentiality,” Ms. Powell told Mr. Barr that the case against Mr. Flynn, the president’s former national security adviser who had pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I., smacked of “corruption of our beloved government institutions for what appears to be political purposes.” She asked the attorney general to appoint an outsider to review the case, confident that such scrutiny would justify ending it.

This second paragraph from the article is the entire pretense that follows, a hit piece pretending to be journalism by three muldoons who think that they have parachuted behind enemy line to strike down the evil doers and expose what the Trump people have done.

There was a secret letter, I tell you! This single super secret letter to the corrupt Attorney General was all it was required to thwart justice and prevent President Obama, Vice President Biden, James Comey, Peter Strvok, Sally Yates, and Susan Rice from sending LTG Flynn to prison from the rest of his life where he deserved to be. This sort of fiction continues throughout the piece, avoiding facts whenever possible and distort them when required. In the midst of a very long history of New York Times hit pieces, this is one of the worst that I have ever seen.

The pretense is their recovery of a letter from Sidney Powell to Attorney General Barr. This letter was a heads up, a professional courtesy used by defense counsels to inform the prosecutor that the case in question is a bad case, and has the potential to cause considerable harm and embarrassment to the government. Defense Counsels, especially good ones, do this when warranted. And this was a really bad case. A frame up directed by the President, unsupported by facts or law, and with serious misconduct by the FBI. Throw in the conflicts of interest and other misconduct by Flynn's original counsel, Covington, this thing would become the poster child for the campaign against an out of control Department of Justice and FBI.

It's hard to tell if our three derring do journalists did any research, probably not. They could have gotten what they needed by sharing a few beers with the key hatchet men from the DNC. They completely ignore the evidence proving that the government fabricated the entire case, invented or changed evidence, lied to everyone except the guy at the piano bar, and failed to provide the defense with required discovery. They accuse the Flynn Defense team of illegal and unethical tricks and political maneuveing to get a solid case thrown out to save a friend of Trump.

Unfortunately for these morons, more evidence has surfaced since they wrote this "Pulitzer Prize" entry. They clearly don't know the Constitution, don't know the law, haven't read the briefs by Sidney Powell and the U.S. Solicitor General and clearly did not read the decision by the Circuit Court panel. Powell has uncovered and documented one of the biggest abuse of power in the history of these U.S. and they are the three blind men tapping down Pennsylvania Avenue. The New York Times will reward them handsomely.
