What Happened During Flynn Lawyer’s Secret Meeting With Judge This Week?
The question is whether Michael Flynn was affected by efforts to get Trump, and whether Judge Sullivan will keep him from reviewing the evidence that could prove prosecutorial misconduct.

On Thursday, two docket entries in the criminal case against Michael Flynn provided a roadmap to the next steps in the case that took a surprise turn last week. As I reported earlier this week, while Americans prepared for the long Labor Day weekend, lawyer Sidney Powell, who had taken over Flynn’s defense in June, hit federal prosecutors with a motion to compel evidence and a request for sanctions for prosecutorial misconduct.
In her motion, Powell charged that government attorneys withheld potentially exculpatory evidence from Flynn, whom had pleaded guilty in late 2017 to lying to FBI agents. In a status report filed the same day, Powell also complained that the government had refused to grant her a security clearance to allow her to review pertinent evidence, and she sought presiding judge Emmett Sullivan’s intervention.

I don’t know what to think about the way this case is progressing. Glad Sidney is on the case.
The one line that caught my attention was:
“A lower court had ordered the government to produce that evidence, but on appeal, the D.C. Circuit held that Yunis was not entitled to access that material.”
Unless all these cases can be removed from the DC circuit might as well save the time and money because this is what will happen EVERY SINGLE TIME.
