MUELLER MADNESS: Special Counsel Hands Over All ‘EVIDENCE’ On Mike Flynn

Rumor and speculation as to why District of Columbia Judge Rudolph Contreras was recused from Flynn case An option being discussed by attorneys, pundits and supporters is that Flynn withdraw his guilty plea before sentencing The Office of Special Counsel complied with a federal judge’s order and as a result turned over all evidence related to former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s case, according to two sources who spoke to this reporter.

In December, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered Special Counsel Robert Mueller to provide Flynn’s attorneys with any and all information that may have been withheld from the case. Sullivan took over as the presiding judge after District of Columbia Judge Rudolph Contreras was recused from the case on Dec. 7. There was no explanation as to why Contreras, who presided over Flynn’s guilty plea on Dec. 3, was recused from the case. Flynn pled guilty to one count of lying to the FBI, despite testimony provided to Congress by former FBI Director James Comey, where he stated that the agents did not believe Flynn had lied about his conversation with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016.

Sullivan ordered the government to produce any evidence in its possession that is “favorable to defendant and material either to defendant’s guilt or punishment.”

That attorney would be Andrew Weissman. Who was the attorney who railroaded many execs associated with Enron. Most of his convictions were overturned for withholding evidence crucial to the cases.

If that's the case, then we should have heard about Mueller turning over the evidence he had when the Judge's order in December was made. I did a search and found info on the December order, then found another order by the same Judge in February. This one was for ‘Exculpatory Evidence’. This February 23rd article from Jonathan Turley is interesting:

Did Mueller Withhold Evidence From Michael Flynn?

[mass55th]

"I wonder how much evidence has been destroyed in the last 3 months."

And who's to say that whatever Mueller has handed over, is actually everything that he has.

[Metrobank]

As was disclosed, Rudolph Contreras was the judge who issued the FISA warrants that lead to the unmasking of Carter Page and the others. Flynn was swept in that as well. Contreras would seem to be dirty.

[mass55th]

" Contreras would seem to be dirty."

It's been reported that he's friends with Peter Strozk.

Flynn would have to be awfully patient and trusting to bank on pardons and exoneration in the snake pit that is Washington. An alternative is that Mueller has something on Flynn and/or his son that has nothing to do with lying about conversations with Russians during the transition, and sufficiently dire that he’d rather take the plea deal and shut up than contest it and find himself charged with other offenses. In this scenario, the US does not desire a public airing of the “something”.

Based on this, I will be pleasantly surprised if Flynn’s defense does anything with Mueller’s data. The judge might have some legal way to vacate the plea deal/conviction if he finds malfeasance by Mueller’s team. I wonder if Congressional committees could provide evidence to the judge for “comparison purposes”.

As did Andrew Weissman, the top deputy to Mueller in this Special Counsel’s team.... Weissman has had major cases thrown out and his conduct trashed by appeals courts.

[reasonisfaith]

This necessarily includes the evidence McCabe fabricated.

As I recall Mueller has jailed and ruined people in the past by withholding exculpatory evidence Hes a real peach of a human being

This is true of one of Mueller's top people, but not sure if it's true of Mueller himself.

If that's the case, then we should have heard about Mueller turning over the evidence he had when the Judge's order in December was made.

I don't know why you use the word "should" here. This is not public information that is readily available to the media. The only reason we'd hear any of it is if someone from one of the legal teams decides to release it.

If Sara Carter is reporting this, I suspect it came from Flynn's legal team, or from someone in the DOJ who is friendly to Flynn and knows what Mueller is up to.

[Enchante]

Oh, the judge most definitely CAN intervene if he judges that the Mueller team has acted inappropriately, withheld exculpatory evidence, etc. Whether the judge WILL act is a separate question, but there is no doubt that he has the prerogative to act.

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe the protocol in this case would be for Mueller to charge Flynn with everything he has on him, and then agree to drop all the other charges in exchange for the guilty plea. A number of people who have analyzed these cases in the media (Andrew McCarthy, for one) have explained how this whole approach by Mueller is highly irregular for this particular reason.

And in any case, there may also be an issue with bringing future charges based on the legal principle known as the "Entire Controversy Doctrine." Under this common law standard, any and all claims against a party must be brought at the same time, or they cannot be brought later. There are some exceptions to this, but I believe Mueller would not be able to bring charges against Flynn later that he didn't bring already.

***************************************************
Mueller is = Abel Reyna (the Waco, Texas DA who has been unjustly PERSecuting hundreds of innocent bikers in the “Waco biker” case).

The difference is that Abel was accountable to his county’s voters (they recently defeated the tyrant in his primary election by a landslide) and Mueller is accountable to no one other than his friend and fellow agendanista Rod Rosenstein. Consequently Mueller, in effect, has unchecked absolute power and has become ABSOLUTELY CORRUPT. Who knows when Mueller’s tyranny will end and when his disgrace will arrive as Reyna’s disgrace is arriving in Texas.

> In my opinion, the only reason he plead guilty is because they were financially destroying him.

I completely disagree. Yes, it was destroying him, but the reason he pleaded guilty, in my mind, is because he is the utmost patriot, and needed to plead guilty in order to show that the McCabe/Strzok/Page shenanigans “caused harm.” If no one was actually prosecuted because of those shenanigans, their lawyers would claim it was all harmless deeds.

Flynn pled guilty so that the crimes of McCabe et al can be laid bare when the S-finally-HTF. His was the ultimate self sacrifice, for the sake of you, me, and the rule of law.

Who is Contreras’ spouse and where does he/she work?

So many husband / wife teams playing hide the ball in DC.

mueller needs a crime to go after Trump on obstruction. That is why Flynn was charged after the fbi already stated he did not lie.

[Pravious]

Maybe a silly question but . . . why can’t President Trump just pardon Flynn?

Yes he indeed has. He allowed 4 innocent men to sit on death row for years to protect an FBI informant who was the actual murderer. After putting this informant in the witness protection program, the informant killed two more people.
