Flynn Hires Sidney Powell. Mueller’s ‘Pit Bull’ Meets His Match, Again.
Sara ^ | June 12th 2019 | Sara Carter

Posted on 06/12/2019 12:57:07 PM PDT by Jacquerie

Embattled Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has hired well known defense attorney Sidney Powell to represent him before his sentencing hearing in Washington D.C.’s federal court. Flynn, who fired his attorneys last week, will still fully cooperate with the government in all cases pending, Powell told SaraACarter.com.

Flynn’s former legal counsel Robert Kelner and Stephen Anthony offered no explanation for their abrupt dismissal telling SaraACarter.com they “decline to comment.”

Powell is the author of the New York Times best seller and tell-all book Licensed To Lie, which exposed the corruption within the justice system. The book is based on the case Powell won against prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, when he was deputy and later director of the Enron Task Force.

Weissmann served as Mueller’s second in command for the special counsel investigation into the Trump campaign, despite the fact that his tactics have been highly criticized by both judges and colleagues. He was called unscrupulous and has had several significant issues raised about how he operated during the Mueller inquiry into Trump campaign officials, including Flynn.

He prosecuted the accounting firm Arthur Andersen LLP, which ended in the collapse of the firm and 85,000 jobs lost world wide. Maureen Mahoney took the case to the Supreme Court, and Powell consulted. Mahoney overturned Weissmann’s conviction and the decision was reversed unanimously by the court.

Powell has openly stated in columns and on cable networks that Weissmann’s dirty tactics of withholding exculpatory evidence and threatening witnesses to garner prosecutions should have had him disbarred long ago.

Do some deeper research. Read open sources. In answer: Flynn briefed the DIA before and after contacts with Russia. The man is known as the best intel agent in our military. Strictly professional. Think spook, not greedy self-promoter as portrayed in media.

So you think Putin was in on it. Makes sense considering this would have been the time line set by the communists in the 50s. We would have been so screwed if she won.

OK, so he apparently was briefed before and after attending the December 2015 big anniversary gala for the state-run "news" (propaganda) outlet Russia Today (RT). It seems clear to me that he was invited there by the Russians with the intent to at least make it APPEAR as if he were working with them, in this highly sophisticated, elaborate, but typical KGB/FSB-styled hoax.

Dec 2015, btw, is the same time frame when Putin was heaping praise on Trump, in, IMO, an attempt to make it *appear* as if Trump was his guy, when in reality, he was anything but.

In any case, it wasn't only the Russia Today anniversary gala. Flynn appeared as a regular guest on that Russian fake news network. Then maybe that too was him being used by the Russians, although he would have been very naive to have fallen for a ploy like that.

Good article on this precise subject here:

Yes, sorry. I didn’t mean to imply that you were one of the people that doesn’t get or understand what is going on. Was just expressing my frustration over the many who don’t, even after all that we now know. Drives me nuts.

The time line set by the communists in the 50s?

Are you referring to this (below), or something else of the sort?

Did Communism Fake Its Own Death in 1991?
American Thinker ^ | January 16, 2010 | Jason McNew

In a [] 1984 book [New Lies for Old], ex-KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn predicted the liberalization of the Soviet Bloc and claimed that it would be a strategic deception. ..."

"Golitsyn's argument was that beginning in about 1960, the Soviet Union embarked on a strategy of massive long-range strategic deception which would span several decades and result in the destruction of Western capitalism and the erection of a communist world government."

"Golitsyn published his second book, The Perestroika Deception, after the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. This book contained further analysis of the liberalization, in addition to previously classified memoranda submitted by Golitsyn to the CIA. The two books must be read together to get a complete picture of Golitsyn's thesis."

"Gentlemen, Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years.

These are primarily for outward consumption.

There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes.

Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep".

-- Mikhial Gorbachev, former President of the Soviet Union, to the Politburo in November of 1987.

If that’s last summer, it’s either daughter or she’s aged 35 years in one year!

Since Congress wants him to testify, this could get even MORE interesting! Note to Congress -— you might want to rethink that.

I think wardaddy’s photo was of her in her younger years.

From my view, I think we could be looking at the first woman President down the road with her. She’s completely level-headed, a good judge of people and situations, and firmly for the rule of law.

“I think we could be looking at the first woman President down the road with her.”

That road is getting short. Sidney Powell was an Asst US Attorney in 1978 so she’s probably around 65.

I posted a pic from last summer of Sara Carter

A reporter somewhat sympathetic to our side who wrote this article about Powell

It’s from last summer with her husband

Sorry for the confusion,

Ms Powell is attractive in a more unsung abstruse way

“I posted a pic from last summer of Sara Carter”

Ok, that makes sense.

Back when the late, great George Putnam had his radio show on a small LA station she was a reporter for an Inland Empire newspaper and covered border issues.

Illegal immigration, cartels, etc. Had to be 20 years ago. You could tell even then that she was good at her job.
