Some people have said that they want it to continue to go through trial - through the system - because they want everything that’s been done to this man - and the perpetrators of it - ‘exposed’.
But we should be thinking about what Gen. Flynn wants, after everything that he’s been through.
I don’t know a lot about this stuff; but if the charges were dropped, wouldn’t Flynn still have the opportunity to sue? And wouldn’t a great deal of discovery still be in play?
I doubt he can sue because prosecutors have immunity and that’s a pretty high bar to breach in a lawsuit. But if it can be done Sidney Powell is the lawyer that can get it done.
If the judge dismisses the case with prejudice because of prosecutorial malfeasance, he can also order the government to pay Flynn’s legal costs according to what I’ve read.
But if the prosecutors withdraw the charges, I don’t think he can recoup the legal fees.
I rather expect Sidney Powell to write a book about this, possibly with Flynn as a co-author and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if she took this case pro bono to get inside the case for a planned book.
