1. Jessie Liu does the filing. It’s been unclear what her position and role in these things has been ... she has pressed matters but is a creature from the swamp. Leveraged? Red Hat? Still unclear ...
2. The Flynn sentencing has remained pending and the bomb dropped by Flynn’s lawyer continues to reverberate. D_J under Barr provided some exculpatory materials that were revealed through the IG investigation.
3. This is now the 2nd or so set of papers filed post Mule shutdown ... they used to be submitted by Brandon Van der Zack (forget name) who’s apparently been another deep stater / mule team setup op though, again, don’t know what we don’t know. I’ve assumed prosecutor here is BLACKEST of the BLACK - or something else if required / inevitable that such a role might expose Gen. Flynn’s other duties in fulfilling his plea to provide the government EVERYTHING. ;)
4. It’s been interesting we still haven’t heard anything from the Judge since he took the matters of filings off calendar. Then the Prosecution - I think this was the first time that something submitted by Lieu directly / solely - like this one now - was when the gov fessed up - oh, all those things we attributed to Joe Pinetka, well they were actually Flynn’s things after all! Amazing! Meaning the whole thing has indeed been a lie.
5. Now Flynn agrees to file jointly with the gov to ask that the sentencing & calendaring be delayed until after the IG report and indicate that the IG report will include issues that are before the court.
6. This is an example of how the IG report - even if/as it’s another CYA and not fully actionable in and of itself - it will have ripple effects. Flynn Judge? FISC Judges? There will be following (and hopefully preceding!) actions to accompany its release. How does Fake News get past having to explain ... Flynn goes free (before Christmas per “Q”)
TBD! WWG1WGA :)

Many thanks, Steven. I have to admit my head is still aching from this one.
Didn't we just read somewhere (Cates?) that Powell got clearance for an advance copy of the Horowitz report? Could be a partial source of the delay requested delay.
