Flynn’s Counsel Says Schiff’s Demands Are ‘transparently pure harassment’

The counsel representing former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn laid out a series of  reasons in a letter in late August as to why her client will not testify or submit more documentation to Chairman Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee’s ongoing investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential elections.

The letter obtained by SaraACarter.com reveals the extent of cooperation Flynn has already given to the committee, which Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell said “is so unreasonable and unethical, we are copying Chairman Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes. Perhaps the Committee will decide to exercise better judgment.”

“Your demand that he appear at a hearing merely to assert the privilege against self-incrimination is transparently pure harassment, because it cannot achieve any legitimate congressional purpose,” said Powell in a letter to Schiff sent on Aug. 22.

What prompted Schiff’s tantrum at Powell recently?

Apparently it was Powell’s letter. He lashed back at Powell’s letter this week in a letter of his own. 

“Notwithstanding repeated efforts by committee staff to engage with your counsel and accommodate your adjournment requests, you have, to date, failed to comply with the committee’s subpoena or cooperate with the committee’s efforts to secure your compliance,” he said in his letter to Powell.

I’m liking Flynn’s attorney. She seems like a real bulldog.

It appears that Lt.Gen. Flynn has at long last acquired counsel that is not corrupt or, to be kindm not cowardly and inept.

Sidney Powell is badass. I really like her. Have seen her on Lou Dobbs many times.

We really need a law that addresses ethics in government. Being able to lie with impunity to further an agenda is a violation of ethical standards and should be punished by expulsion from government.

It’s really, really hard to do that with Congress. Really the only recourse is to vote them out of office - and they are in different districts from most who oppose them.
