Special Counsel Mueller is feeling the heat right now, as he just postponed the sentencing of Michael Flynn. He has come so far only to be faced with the truth, which may be revealed possibly tomorrow with the release of the FISA MEMO.
The truth is the FISA WARRANT was obtained illegally, and it was supposed to be used on Carter Page – not Michael Flynn. Obama obtained the FISA from the FISA court by telling them it would be used to spy on Carter Page, and that is what they expected. However, it was used to spy on whomever they wanted.at the time.
Mueller knows that when the FISA MEMO comes out, this will be revealed. That would mean the whole Special Counsel probe was based on false evidence or lies. And it was, and the FISA MEMO will prove it.

I think that “material to either the defendant’s guilt or punishment” language is boilerplate at the sentencing stage. The sentence is adjusted based on certain factors, so the judge needs ALL of the eviedence that plays into sentencing, in order to apply the statutory sentencing guidelines.
I don’t think Mueller will shut it down. Maybe concede to narrowing the scope, but it will go on. Its all the Dems have at this point.
That said, it would an opportunity for Mueller to exit gracefully and then piously claim he had no idea his staff was engaged in “unethical” activities, blah, blah, blah.
Unless of course there are emails or messages somewher implicating him in the cabal. If that’s the case, he will circle the wagons and fight it out.
Or, "why would the Court issue the order if such evidence wouldn't be relevant to some future proceeding" - which is saying the same thing in a different way. Good stuff. But again, why did he take the deal in the first place if he knew or strongly suspected all this stuff was out there?
Because it's much easier -- and cheaper -- to let a House intelligence committee do all the forensic investigating.
Yeah, I speculated earlier whether it was to stop the bleeding of the attorney and investigator fees - which can get into the millions pretty quick.
Pretty funny, DEMs were calling for Rosenstein to recuse from contact with investigating Trump for obstruction. Now they are arguing that if Trump moves Rosenstein off of involvement with investigating Trump for obstruction, that move (the one they advocated) is itself a form of obstruction.
Twisted in a knot.
Where the hell is that chat session from?
Prosecutors have to divulge all relevant evidence to the defendant. Doubt they told Flynn they made up the info for the warrants that resulted in his being wiretapped and investigate. He walks.
He may not make money off it, but he will get off.
Again, not necessarily. If the case was still pending certainly it would be a slam dunk motion to suppress. But once you plead guilty it often changes the playing field. I'm not saying that's the case here, I just don't know as my discussion with another Freeper shows. There are a lot of things in play. But saying that finding 4th amendment abuses after one pleads guilty is always a basis to set aside the plea is not correct.
Bookmarking.
Not if the guilty plea was procured by fraud.
Flynn has a solid legal case as does Carter Page.
I would think Michael Flynn will get a big settlement as he was illegally spied on and his home was broken into in the early AM. Mueller will be going to prison.
Don’t hide behind once being a grunt. We had a severe cast of a Gunny little league coach fondling kids. This ex-marine is corrupted.
