A federal judge has ordered current and former attorneys for President Trump’s onetime national security adviser Michael Flynn to appear in court at the end of August.
Judge Emmet Sullivan, the Obama appointee overseeing Flynn’s case in Washington, D.C., scheduled a status conference for 11 a.m. on Aug. 27 after Flynn’s new legal counsel said his former Covington & Burling attorneys had not turned over all of the files related to his case.
Sullivan also said he would invite a legal ethics official to the hearing to explain the applicable rules
“In light of the representations made by defense counsel regarding the delay in receiving the client files, the Court hereby gives notice to the parties of the Court's intent to invite Senior Legal Ethics Counsel for the District of Columbia Bar to attend the status conference and explain on the record the applicable District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct,” Sullivan wrote in an order Tuesday.
In a filing on Thursday, Flynn’s new attorneys Jesse Binnall, Sidney Powell and William Hodes wrote that they “do not yet have the entire file” from Flynn’s former lawyers and said they had been advised “it will be several weeks before all the information can be transferred.”
Flynn’s attorneys also reiterated that they already have a “massive” amount of files to review — spanning four hard drives that exceed 253 gigabytes of documents — and noted they had identified “crucial and troubling issues that should concern any court” without going into detail.
Flynn’s former attorney Robert Kelner told The Hill in a statement: “Since the end of its representation of General Flynn six weeks ago, a team now consisting of 24 Covington lawyers has been collecting and transferring hundreds of thousands of documents to General Flynn's new counsel. ..

This entire event stinks to high hell and Mueller and the corrupt FBI at the time are responsible. This will not end well for anyone.
A simple plea agreement and a million documents? Crazy.
The fricking judge is asking the SENIOR LEGAL ETHICS COUNSEL for DC to be there for this hearing. What does this mean?— HeatherL13 (@13leatherhesnik) July 17, 2019
It means that Flynns previous attorneys have been caught obstructing his defense. Now why would they do that?— Lloyd (@gregfessenden) July 17, 2019
Former council omitted corrupt deals and threats made by special counsel?— Peace Through Strength🍀 (@52VikingConv) July 17, 2019
I'm a lawyer & I've never seen or heard of this happening before. Not ever.— Scott Berry (@ScottBerryAtty) July 16, 2019
I could never understand the General’s choice of law firms. I believe Eric Holder is currently a partner. Clinton’s 5th AG Chas Ruff was out of that viper pit too— Pete Za (@Pete62883136) July 16, 2019
Flynn must have had reasons. He’s an intel guy, had to be onto something. It cost him everything financially, either way.— TomB (@TEbergie) July 17, 2019
Well i understood he knows where all the bodies are buried.and needs to be free from all gag orders. Which is what co-operating "forced" him to do. He was head spook. He knows what is happening.— Patriot (@BMassette) July 17, 2019

So many people have condemned Flynn and I can’t wait until Flynn is publicly vindicated.
-bkmk-
Amen.
Oops. Time for Flynn to get his money back times 10
Sounds like everyone is being called into the Principal’s office where there is a cop standing there to make an arrest.
Judge Emmet Sullivan, the Obama appointee overseeing Flynn’s case in Washington, D.C. …. . . ought to be made to recuse himself. Utterly impossible for someone like that to be impartial.
Flynn will get his money back. Sidney Powell proves the case should never have been brought and Flynn’s first Attorneys could have had the case dismissed within a month or two, but the worked for the same firm as Eric Holder.
Bkmk Flynn
Hard to find a hard drive that small but they have spanned 4 drives? I call B$ on that one.
Sullivan has been stinging the FBI for their manipulation of cases.
Here, we see him probably doing a tutorial on ethics violations so that charges can be brought against the former attorneys of Flynn, by the new representatives for Flynn.
The judge is also under strict protocols himself, and is preparing for the Sentencing phase of the Flynn trial.
Sullivan is not biased against Flynn and nothing in this article indicates that he is.
This was a set up, of epic proportions...and Flynn’s own legal team was in on the fraud.
First legal team is bout the get REKT by Sullivan.
He Kray-Kray mad Mon now.
Strict protocols never stopped activists before. Who would be enforcing them?
Sydney Powell FTW.
Sidney Powell is the last attorney the prosecutors wanted to take over the Flynn defense. She knows the ropes and she is fearless. She has no interest in being nice or polite; going for the throat. The judge must know of her reputation, so he will not try to B.S. her.
Wrong. Appointed by Reagan, GHWB, and Clinton. Sidney Powell, Flynn's current attorney, called Sullivan the hero of her book.
