Wasn’t the problem or one of them, was he was lobbying for a truckish organization that was on the bad guys list? I haven’t followed this to closely. Flynn was trying to monetize his military experience. What did he actually end up pleading guilty too? His lawyers really did that how are they not in hot water and why did he pay them? Very screwy
Turkish, but maybe they were truckers too.
Flynn did not know they were cooperating with the FBI on the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Powell noted in Wednesday’s motion that Flynn’s former defense team at Covington & Burling, a well known Washington D.C. law firm, failed to inform Flynn that their lawyers had made “some initial errors or statements that were misunderstood in the FARA registration process and filings.” She also reaffirmed her position in the motion that government prosecutors are continuing to withhold exculpatory information that would benefit Flynn.“Government counsel specified Mr. Flynn’s liability for ‘false statements’ in the FARA registration, and he told Covington to discuss it with Mr. Flynn,” states the motion. “This etched the conflict in stone. Covington betrayed Mr. Flynn.”
Flynn has to get out of the current dilemma before he can go after them.
Flynn plead guilty to one count of lying to the FBI. Now he is attempting to retract that plea.
