Thanks for the link, and for clearing up AlbertasChild’s issue about the Entire Controversy Doctrine. I do not contend that the USA v Flynn filings and paperwork were procedurally flawed. My crank theory is that the case we see publically is a deliberate nothing, designed to move Flynn off the chessboard as a foreign policy/security player permanently, without airing things troublesome for the US (including the IC and the Trump administration). Sullivan had no choice but to require Mueller to turn over everything the SC has on Flynn, since the material shared with the court was evidence free.
Not a bad theory. But Mueller and Strzok and Weissman being jerks also explains the criminal action taken.
Still, entanglements with Turkey may have been troublesome, and "found too late."

Judges are all quirky, no two alike. Sullivan is trying to run a tight ship, and if the government fails to turn over excluppatory evidence, that creates a vector and risk for a future appeal. He could have just sentenced Flynn, but it's not in his genes.
