William Barr is Wray’s boss, and Trump is Barr's boss.
There are at least 25 Freedom of Information Act requests pending for DOJ and FBI documents.
Probably every one of those documents would help Trump, but Trump has never lifted a finger to release, or speed up the release, of any of them.
Incomprehensible.
Fixed it. Judge Sullivan has brass ones!
There’s nothing illegal about misleading Pence.
The reporting I’ve read says the transcript was selectively edited to implicate Flynn and Pence and does not reflect the true nature of the conversation, which would have exculpated Flynn.
WTF? The sentencing phase for Flynn has gone on longer than Gone With The Wind. Who are these a$$hole lawyers defying the judge’s order?
There are WAY too much secrecy in this fake government. There is also WAY too much spying on us. It has to stop. We are not slaves.
Flynn would have been privy to all the Obama dirt now emerging.... the eternal unmaskings, their obsession with
spying, the FISA lies, the dossier's falsity, etc etc etc......
With US intel under his control, Obama had it all fixed. Hillary would sweep the dirt under the Oval Office rug.
Too frickin' bad....Obama was thwarted.
His quest for a permanent Democratic majority gone with the wind (smirk).
One of the problems here is that Flynn and/or his legal team have done almost nothing to defend him. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems highly irregular for a judge to seek exculpatory information about a defendant that the defense counsel hasn’t even demanded on his behalf.
“...wholly inadequate fixed fortifications”.
LOL, that’s a fact.
How is this even possible? I thought Wray was all about transparency and making sure things were on the up and up.

And I thought the Justice Department was under the purview of the President and that he’d ordered them to stop stonewalling.
I'm not so sure that Flynn's defense team was negligent here. It is customary, early in the trial phases, for the Defense to request such exculpatory evidence held by the Prosecution; however, in a case such as this, the DOJ prosecution would block such a request under the pretense of "National Security."
In this case before the bar, it appears to me that the Flynn defense team persisted in their requests and finally convinced the judge that the DOJ rationale was inadequate. In the end, the judge has to overrule the Prosecution and order the information release - which appears to have happened in this matter.
Damn, dude. Ease up on the Southerner hate.
SEC? Why single out this conference? How about Big 10, Pac 10, AAC, ACC, Big 12, etc.?
Wray was born and grew up in New York City and went to Yale.
NOT an SEC frat boy.
Meanwhile, today, there is news of Obama administration in current talks with Iran
Find them. Arrest them. Shoot them......... now
No kumbaya, no lawerly moddly coddling.
There must be compasion for Americans but not for traitors
Sounds like a plan, qaz123.
Yep, Barr is just really kicking a@@ over there at the DOJ. Dismantling the Deep State as I eat my breakfast. /sarcasm.off
No different than Obama's...."I'll have more leverage after the election".
I think they may be protecting the ways and means of gathering this paricular information and don’t want to lose it in the future.
More likely, the DOJ doesn’t want to have this remarkable precedent established where evidence obtained through covert surveillance of a foreign diplomat is formally recognized in a public U.S. court proceeding.
I spent many a night in Atlanta, watching frat boys with the same exact haircut as Wray, talking all sorts of sh*t right before they were loaded into the back of the paddywagon and then see them in court the next week with their heads down. Probably was a bit of a culture shock for most of them, when they were sitting in ACDC next to some guy that just robbed someone, to his left, and some homeless guy that shit his pants a few hours ago, to his right.
While wearing his standard uniform of khaki shorts, some type of bright colored polo shirt, flip flops/brown leather loafers. They used to have a store in Atlanta to get all that, not sure if it’s still open. But they do have this...

But I will proudly stand corrected ....
ACC - Tech, Clemson, FSU
Big 12 - Penn St and Ohio State
I have a bit of a special loathing for OSU and Clemson ‘FANS’. I’m a huge fan of Swiney and the program he built. Meyer can suck a d*ck. Bit bi-polar, but, ‘Merica!!!
So, I will modify my statement to say....reminds of some fratboy from the SEC or ACC or Big 12.
Don’t have any experience with the Pac10, but I’m sure they’re just as bad.
Seems to me that Obama’s farcical “Office of the President-elect’ would stand up to the same level of skepticism. I bet if you investigated Obama’s transition team even slightly you’d find egregious examples of undercutting existing US policies.
Flynn would have been well within his rights to signal that President Trump would be reviewing Obama’s sanctions against Russia. As long as no concrete deals were struck.
It’s more fun to read the comments.
