Michael Flynn fires legal team with sentencing looming on federal charges

Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn has fired his legal team as he awaits sentencing for lying to the FBI about his conversations with a top Russian official, according to a new filing Thursday from his long-time attorneys.

The lawyers, Robert Kelner and Stephen Anthony, offered no explanation for their abrupt dismissal in a two-page motion delivered to the federal judge who will mete out Flynn’s punishment stemming from his 2017 guilty plea to Robert Mueller’s prosecutors.

In their filing, the attorneys said Flynn had notified them that “he is terminating Covington & Burling LLP as his counsel and has already retained new counsel for this matter.”

They did not identify Flynn’s new legal team and declined comment when asked by POLITICO who now represents the former senior Trump aide...

We can riot without resorting to violence.

Our side has always been far too compliant and we have allowed things to devolve to this point.

American citizens are being blatantly stripped of their civil rights; General Flynn is only one example of a life destroyed.

Phil Manafort, a white collar criminal, locked in solitary for 23 hours a day, denied even a newspaper. That’s *after* a no knock terrorist raid on his home for absolutely no reason; he and his lawyers were fully cooperating with the persecution.

And, $10 million bail was just not enough. Manafort had to sit in jail as murderers, rapists and child molesters bonded out for $500.

Next stop for Manafort—Rikers. Self explanatory.

All for doing exactly what half of K Street is doing as we speak. Along with John “Password” Podesta and his slimy brother.

Then the cherry on top of the parfait. Our “intelligence” agencies conspire to stage a coup against a lawfully elected president.

Any American who is not stunned, horrified, and outraged is either a traitor or too damn stupid to understand what happened. Thank a teachers’ union.

And we’re doing what? Venting on Internet forums and waiting for *politicians* to fix this.

How insane is that?

President Trump is the only non politician in the mix. He’s one man, under a barrage of incoming 25/8/365.

If he fails, America is gone. I’m not just throwing around hyperbole.

Our opposition relies on our basic wimpiness. We haven’t let them down yet, with the startling exception of hiring DJT.

But, what are *we* doing? Not enough. I’ll carve out a big exception for Judicial Watch (JW). Until AG Barr, Tom Fitton had to act as our de facto AG.

The left uses lawfare, why don’t we? Why is Jerome Corsi the only one with a spine?

Why are we not *protesting* (since *rioting* offends you) in the streets loudly?

This is probably a great time to read some Breitbart and watch some of his videos.
