Newly Filed Court Documents Include Exculpatory Evidence For Michael Flynn
The Federalist ^ | 4/24/2020 | SEAN DAVIS

Posted on 04/24/2020 6:46:12 PM PDT by bitt

New documents filed under seal in federal court include exculpatory information about former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, an FBI official told The Federalist on Friday.

New court documents filed under seal include significant exculpatory information about Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former National Security Adviser, an FBI official familiar with the situation told The Federalist on Friday. The new documents, which were filed under seal by the Department of Justice Friday, allegedly include exonerating evidence about Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his conversations with foreign diplomats as Trump’s top incoming foreign policy adviser and is currently attempting to withdraw his plea, as well as evidence of malfeasance by the FBI during its investigation of Flynn.

According to the FBI official who spoke to The Federalist, FBI general counsel Dana Boente led the charge internally against DOJ’s disclosure of the new materials. Boente, who briefly served as acting Attorney General after Trump became president, personally signed off on one of the federal spy warrants against former Trump campaign affiliate Carter Page. The new documents, which were filed under a protective order by DOJ on Friday, will reflect poorly on the FBI, the official told The Federalist. It is not clear when, or even if, those documents will be unsealed and made available to the public for review.

Because the documents were filed under seal, The Federalist has not been able to review them independently. Neither the Department of Justice nor the White House responded to requests for comment about the newly filed court documents or their legal or political implications. Trump has reportedly been weighing whether to issue a pardon for Flynn.

That building is falling apart and the FBI desperately wants a new home. I wouldn’t wish that brutalist monstrosity on my worst.. well come to think of it, give it to the CHICOMS as compensation for cancelling our debt.

Dana Boente.

So what do we know about him other than the obvious that he is another corrupt deep state operative.

If that’s the case, make them stay there until they clean up their act.

i don’t think it matters what they file. He is up against a kangaroo Court like Roger Stone was. There is no justice in the Courts any more. The Left has corrupted the Legal System. And from this point forward, things will only get worse.

It would seem the prosecutors in the Flynn case had to know or should have known these documents existed.
Which means they might have defied Judge Emmet Sullivan’s Brady order.
This judge doesn’t like that.

Sure, the J. Edgar Hoover Building is ugly during the day, but I’ve heard that sometimes at night it puts on a dress and looks fabulous.
