Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn will invoke his Fifth Amendment rights rather than testify before the House Intelligence Committee, Flynns lawyer Sidney Powell said in a letter Monday, according to The Washington Examiner.
Powell, who replaced Flynns previous attorneys in June, wrote that Flynn refuses to be paraded, harassed or disparaged by Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), according to the Times.
Powell has previously accused federal prosecutors of withholding evidence favorable to Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador. Flynns sentencing on the false statements charges was previously delayed to allow him to continue cooperating in the investigation into a former business partners foreign lobbying.
District Judge Emmet Sullivan, an Obama appointee, has proposed a Dec. 18 sentencing date for Flynn, while Powell has pushed for more time before sentencing, saying she needs additional time to seek a court order for the supposed exculpatory material. Powell said in early September that Flynn has no plans to withdraw from his plea deal.
The Hill has reached out to Schiffs office for comment.

@SidneyPowell1 issues this latest response to Adam Schiff's subpoena of General Flynn, citing to Flynn's 100+ hours of cooperation with the Special Counsel and the "indefensibe" nature of Schiff's "theatrical demand."
Flynn knows now that the DemocRATS in the House are a treacherous, odious crowd that means him no good.
Excellent letter. This response exemplifies how to deal with Democrats.
Ms. Powell gets it completely. Its a shame that most Republicans don’t.
Good, F ‘em.
I’ve stopped paying much attention to this story ... mainly because the whole thing has me completely baffled. Either Flynn has been operating behind the scenes to expose something big, or his lawyers have all had a real moron for a client.
LtGen Flynn at long last has a competent attorney who is actually looking out for his best interests.
Outstanding! She put the Shiff head in his place.
He probably though hiring a clintonite would put him in good light.
I liked Lewandowskis testimony behavior. I always wanted to testify, so when some droning nincompoop like Waters started into her scolding drivel, Id reach down, bring up a newspaper and begin to read. But Flynn is right to refuse.
LOL, she invoked Watkins vs the United States.
That kind of a bitch slap to Schiff. The Watkins case was one of those HUAC cases from the blacklist era of the 50s.
She is basically telling them they are running the modern version of a witch hunt.
They’ll know -exactly- what she means. Maybe we’ll get lucky and one of the dems will pop a critical vessel LOL.
That letter will cause some panties to get in a wad.
Maybe well get lucky and one of the dems will pop a critical vessel

One can only hope.
LTG Flynn’s ordeal is nearly over ... I hope to Heaven that he will be able to recoup the finances that he has had to expend on this BS. I donated to his defense fund and encourage y’all to do the same.

Powell is an Appeal specialist. But yes, he should have looked outside the Swamp from the start.
She signed the letter “Sincerely” /s/ Sidney Powell
Does she read our little blog here?
She kicks ass.
