Flynn - Defendant Motion to Compel Production

Courtlistener ^ | August 30, 2019 | Sidney Powell

[Cboldt]

While prosecutors

routinely recite their full knowledge of and compliance with their Brady obligations, in truth they

often scoff at them and continue to play games to win convictions at all costs. Meanwhile, the

defense does not know what the defense does not know.

This problem was demonstrated dramatically in the prosecution of United States Senator

Ted Stevens. In fact, it was the prosecutorial misconduct in that case that led this Court to adopt

the Brady order it now routinely enters in every criminal case. Unfortunately, the government

learned nothing from the rebukes in Stevens. It has engaged in even more malevolent conduct in

the prosecution of Mr. Flynn.

In addition, Flynn spent 30 in intelligence. He would have realized what was going on, with the help and reporting of Adm. Mike Lee on the FISA court abuse by the WH for years in spying on Republicans and later on Trump’s team and his administration after induction.

I think there is an email from two of the perps that says, “We go after Flynn first and then we go after Trump”

I recommend that everyone on FR send a small donation to the Flynn Defense Fund. The show of support by many of us is more important that the amount.

My comments on the Flynn case have been minimal because it’s obvious to me that a lot of facts about it have been unconfirmed and/or out of the public eye. Having said that, I’d say it’s more than just a mere coincidence that this August 30th filing date was immediately after the public release of the most recent IG report.

I am very pleased that Ms. Powell has included a lot of information in the brief that I had always assumed to be accurate but never saw laid out in one document this way.

[Alberta's Child]

I don’t want to see a pardon for Flynn until I’m absolutely certain that he wasn’t working as a mole in the Trump campaign. And even then, I think his behavior has been erratic at best and potentially corrupt at worst. I would also point out that he probably did great harm to his cause as it relates to a pardon when his prior legal team stopped cooperating with Trump’s lawyers.

The Aug 30 filing date was set by the judge, via setting a date certain for submission of status report.

MINUTE ORDER as to MICHAEL T. FLYNN. In view of the 101 Notice Regarding Transfer of Case File to Defendant's New Counsel that states Covington & Burling LLP's transfer of the client file to Mr. Flynn's new counsel is now complete, the Court, sua sponte, cancels the status conference currently scheduled for August 27, 2019. The Court will schedule a status conference after the parties submit the forthcoming joint status report on August 30, 2019. The joint status report shall advise the Court of the following: (1) the status of Mr. Flynn's cooperation; (2) whether the case is ready for sentencing; (3) suggested dates for the sentencing hearing, if appropriate; and (4) whether there are any issues that would require the Court's resolution prior to Mr. Flynn's sentencing. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 8/21/2019. (lcegs3)

The motion naturally accompanies or follows the joint status report, given the positions the two sides are taking.

US v. Flynn Docket

[NTHockey]

Never say anything but “Lawyer”. Not even when asked for your name.

They have no respect for us (their paymasters) nor for any laws. They deserve no respect from us.

[Alberta's Child]

I understand that. My point is that I believe the timelines for the two processes — IG investigations and the proceedings in the Flynn case — are actually being coordinated with each other. I take that as a positive sign.

[Rockingham]

A challenge based on bad faith points to misconduct by the prosecution as a reason to void the charge.

The takeaway for most intelligent people should be, never speak to a Fed without Counsel present.

I believe this is a bit more appropriate. Do not cooperate. Any time. Any where. The government does nothing that is in your best interest.
