The Justice Department Blinks in the Michael Flynn Case
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 01/30/2020 4:42:45 AM PST by EyesOfTX

Sidney Powell has the corrupt DOJ lawyers on their heels. – Some big developments took place in the case involving the coerced guilty plea by General Michael Flynn on Wednesday, as both sides made a series of key filings with the court.

First, General Flynn filed a motion to dismiss the case entirely, citing an array of government misconduct that is backed up by overwhelming documentary evidence.

Second, General Flynn filed a declaration requesting the court allow him to remove his plea of guilty entirely, citing misleading statements and document revisions by the FBI agents who performed the January, 2017 entrapment interview – Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka – along with threats made against Flynn’s son and family by lawyers working for Gestapo Chief, er, “Special Counsel” Robert Mueller.

Third, the corrupt DOJ lawyers, who in December had reversed an earlier recommendation of probation for Gen. Flynn in favor of prison time, reversed course yet again, filing a revised sentencing memo, one that again recommends probation.

Obviously, Flynn’s attorney, the brilliant Sidney Powell, has beaten the DOJ lawyers into submission. She has clearly revealed their own multiple deceptions to the court, clearly revealed the outright mendacity of Strzok, Pientka and other FBI officials who revised the original 302 forms from the entrapment interview and then “lost” the original – a virtual impossibility within the FBI’s document retention systems – and clearly revealed the despicable thuggery practiced by Mueller and his team of American Nazis.

Federal Judge Emmett Sullivan now has a decision to make: He can either sentence Gen. Flynn – hopefully to the probation now recommended by the government – or he can grant Flynn’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea and take the case to a full-blown trial. There is no question that the latter is the right way to go here.

Judge Sullivan has a well-earned reputation for fairness and disdain for government misconduct. He has now been presented by Powell with a literal mountain of evidence clearly documenting multiple instances of reprehensible misconduct on the part of the FBI, the Mueller team and the DOJ lawyers in this case, all in an effort to entrap, abuse, and persecute a man who has spent his entire adult life in stellar service to this country. Even worse, it is crystal clear that the thuggery deployed by the Mueller team was designed to force Flynn into offering dishonest testimony alleging misconduct by a duly-elected President of the United States.

The only people who deserve to be punished in this case are those who were and/or still are employed at the Department of Justice.

Judge Sullivan now has a prime opportunity to start righting all of the wrongs committed by these disloyal government officials against General Flynn.

Let’s hope he does the right thing.

That is all.

Attorney General. Let Flynn drain the swamp. He’s motivated.

Powell had said repeatedly she did NOT want to have the plea withdrawn?

Becasue the claim is that the guilty plea was obtained through fraud and misconduct by the government, which merits dismissal with prejudice. If the sanction on the government is that Flynn has to go to trial, well that is no sanction at all. That is punishing Flynn for the government's misconduct.

And Powell is in the position that she has new information about government misconduct- that FISA warrants were obtained through fraud without probable cause, which we all now know because the FISA court has grudgingly admitted the fact.

Re # 16: your posts have been the rare instances of sanity on the Flynn case. But very few people want to see it that way, and so they won’t.

“The only people who deserve to be punished in this case are those who were and/or still are employed at the Department of Justice.”

I’d add Flynn’s original lawyers, who were more interested in protected the Deep State than their own client.

It seems like a decent lawyer would have had Flynn out of this debacle a while ago this Powell seems to like the publicity. Flynn himself seems kinda dumb to

Thank you!

A big “red flag” for me has been the incessant reporting and FR posts about how the DOJ screwed Flynn by threatening to prosecute his son.

I have seen nothing about this from an attributed source, including Flynn himself, or even his attorney who is all over TV talking about the case.

Instead, these reports can invariably be traced to fifth-rate “conservative media” outlets that peddle fake news as badly as CNN does.

The problem was that the proof of government fraud and misconduct was not available BEFORE the guilty plea, because the government and the FISA courts themselves have spent four years stalling and preventing their misconduct from becoming available.

Furthermore, at the time of the guilty plea, the Mueller gestapo was actively threatening to make up charges against Flynn’s son.

Sullivan gets fair too much credit for being intolerant of government misconduct. He actively presided over the destruction of Senator Ted Stevens career and reputation before finally overturning the conviction after his political carrer had been ruined, in the face over overwhelming evidence over government fraud and misconduct that would have easily led an appeals court to overturn the conviction and admonish Sullivan. And now he lets the Flynn persecution continue into its fourth year.

He has also demonstrated a capricious bearing. I wouldn't want to be in Flynn's shoes subject to Sullivan's whims.

He can bring a ‘defamation of character’, libel and ‘character assassination’ litigation against them.

THAT’S the long-standing ‘remedy’ in the law, ratified to shield people against groundless allegations. In this case, the groundless and intentionally damaging allegations made by reckless and out-of-control public officials who have broken laws to purposely defame Flynn.

Everyone targeted by this wholesale fraud has legitimate recourse available to them. What else can thwart Liberals’ incessant and by now open, assault on the social stability and established political standards in America…because it is nothing less? Somehow, Liberals got the idea they can accuse anyone of anything!!

There is a tremendous difference between liberty and license. Liberals’ unopposed attack on Flynn is really a dangerous precedent. If Flynn is falsely charged, no one can escape the kind of license Liberals have assumed.

1. See Post #27 about Flynn's son.

2. It didn’t matter what evidence of government wrongdoing was available in 2017. By pleading guilty Flynn was signing a sworn statement attesting to things that HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

3. Related to #2 ... the evidence of government wrongdoing would have come out much faster if the case had actually gone to trial. This is one of the things I have in mind when I say that Flynn’s defense has been incoherent.

If I was President Trump I would not be so quick to pardon a guy who refused to even stand up and fight for himself at a time when it really mattered.

After he is aquitted, I pray that President Trump, in his second term, nominates Gen Flynn to a prominent SENATE CONFIRMED cabinet position.

In her filing, Powell said his family was threatened.

I don’t recall that any FISA Warrant applied here?

They do have Emails that show that demonstrate between Page and Storzk showing Pieztkenka 302 interview notes were re-written after the fact to make Flynn appear to have lied.

There’s no FISA issue here in this case. Flynn was under “indirect” surveillance in his phone calls with the Russian diplomat Kislyak. There’s no FISA warrant required to monitor a foreign official.

Thanks for posting that. This is the first “official” source I’ve seen referenced.

President Trump will pardon him. (/s)


President Trump should order Barr to PERSONALLY supervise the turnover of requested documents in the Sharyl Attkisson case or submit his resignation.
