Smart Move – Flynn Lawyer Tells Judge Motive Behind Why Flynn Took Guilty Plea…

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 10/1/19

Many people have wondered why Lt. Gen Michael Flynn took the guilty plea; indeed, even his trial judge, Emmet Sullivan, posed curious questions about the agreement. Yesterday, in a very smart move on behalf of her client, defense Attorney Sidney Powell informed the court why Mike Flynn took the guilty plea on November 30th, 2017.

Background – As part of ongoing proceedings and consideration Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan had requested a status update about the ongoing cooperation of Michael Flynn in the trial of his former business partner Bijan Rafiekian. On September 24th Federal Judge Anthony J Trenga nullified the jury verdict against Rafiekian and tossed the case.

Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, now files a motion to update trial judge Emmet Sullivan. However, in a smart legal move, and using the jury nullification within the status report, Powell also outlined the reason why her client took a guilty plea.

As highlighted, Michael Flynn -under pressure from Mueller’s prosecutors- signed a plea to avoid his son, Mike Flynn Jr., being indicted/accused. As we suspected General Flynn signed a plea deal to avoid seeing his son charged with a fabricated FARA violation.

It is a smart strategy for Flynn’s defense to inform Judge Sullivan -now- of the undue pressure and threat from Mueller’s assigned prosecutor Brandon Van Grack.

First, this information will help Judge Sullivan reconcile many of the troubling aspects behind the Flynn plea. Against ongoing defense and prosecution arguments about Brady evidence, the highlight in this short status update will not be missed; it will reconcile to the court why Flynn’s defense attorney is seeking supplemental information.

Mueller’s corrupt prosecutors used legally sketchy FARA violations, and threats therein, against many of their targets.

[Psalm 73]

"Mueller’s corrupt prosecutors used legally sketchy FARA violations, and threats therein, against many of their targets."

You do know what our Founding Fathers would have done with these traitors....

“Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell...”
She is the real deal and should be part of the Prez’s legal team. IMO

Sorry, that is not possible. Many GOP in Congress have told us what an honorable and ethical man Robert Mueller is.

I won’t hold my breath waiting for Hannity to ask Graham about this. Those two are best buds these days.

Is the GOP incredibly clueless and naive, or are they just a bunch of self-serving, deceitful liars? I lean strongly toward the latter.

DiGenova brings up the January 5th, 2017 White House meeting with Rice, Yates, Biden, Comey, and Obama: how to get Michael Flynn..

One of Pitbull : Andrew Weissmann’s favorite tactics is to threaten to indict the target’s children.

Weissmann is so adept at this practice he has coerced people into pleading guilty to things that were not crimes in the Arthur Andersen trial.

Of course, the Andersen case was reversed by the Supreme Court 9 to 0... Weissmann destroyed 85,000 jobs for no good reason ..

All from the same folks calling Trump a “mob boss”.

Up is down, left is right, black is white.

[Avalon Memories]

Although this meme is about Pelosi, not a Republican, the same can be said about almost anyone elected to Congress after they have been there a few years. It's the real reason for what we see coming from both parties in Congress.

FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency holds a document to Exonerate General Flynn – refuses to release it... ~John Solomon: .The Deep State corruption continues.

[wastoute]

There was an article here the other day about how here fortune stems at least in part back to a Law that basically GAVE her The Presidio. Plus $200 MILLION to “maintain” it. That was decades ago. The corruption goes very deep.

[NTHockey]

All those traitors conspiring to overthrow the government had to start somewhere above them who authorized the attempted coup. They ain’t smart enough to think this all up by themselves without prodding.

And STILL no arrests.

What is the end result? More than what the traitors expect. Wait until the appeals start from jailhouse lawyers alleging that the FBI/DOJ illegally gathered information and that they were coerced. Wait until the general population gets fed up and refuses to abide by the law.

They will find themselves rulers of an empty palace.

[Avalon Memories]

The corruption goes very deep on both sides of the aisle. Trump ran on, among other things, draining The Swamp. As a result The Swamp has been fighting back tooth and claw. This includes the media. Yes, they are mostly Leftists, but it goes deeper than that. The media has a disgustingly lucrative symbiotic relationship with the DC political class. They don’t want it to end.

[wastoute]

I don’t know. It occurred to me during the Smollett thing that we assume the Rats run the media. What if it is actually the other way around?

[Avalon Memories]

It could be the other way around. Either way, it’s a symbiotic relationship.

[wastoute]

IOW, just who are we actually dealing with? Who really holds the power? Seems like a pretty good candidate would be extremely wealthy people who own the media. Bezos is one. Zuckerburg. If they own the Rats as well their power is secure. Money without power is just a liability. So what we have her are corrupt oligarchs who are above the law. “Deep State” is one term that implies they are government employees which is sort of ridiculous, really. Government employees doing the bidding of folks like Bezos.

[Avalon Memories]

I agree...the root of it all is oligarchs or some facsimile thereof. Politicians are bought and serve masters *cough* big donors *cough*, certainly not voters. Someone like Trump comes along, and like Jimmy Stewart in the classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, he must be crushed.

[wastoute]

We just accept that phrase “Russian Oligarch” or “Ukrainian Oligarch” but never even consider “American Oligarch” but how else do you explain John Kerry. Hillary Clinton. George Soros. Bezos. Think about it. John Kerry is reported openly meeting with the Iranians stepping all over Trump’s perogatvies and no sanction whatsoever. Because Kerry is one of The Untouchables. Yes, we actually have American Oligarchs and they are fighting like hell because we little people still have this delusion about Our Country.

The business of DC is politics. Note the number of individuals in power who have their families working for the government or some lobby group or foundation sucking on the government. It involves both parties. Trump is the biggest threat to power in DC since the British in 1812. Others who did not have their claws in the mix or attempted to get their place in the sun got clubbed by the inbred media: Nixon and Carter come to mind. There should be a sign on every roadway leading to DC: Outsiders not welcome. There are two scenarios either one would change the culture some. Nuke the place from orbit. Obviously not going to happen. Move the capitol to the middle of the country. I nominate Cheyenne Mountain or Offutt AFB as perfect, somewhat secure and away from the crowd. Most of the life long creatures of the Potomac would not move so we would have a breathe of fresh air at least for awhile. The best part would be turning off the power and water utilities and watch that scum try to make it on their own.

The private consultancies to government agencies scam is part of the deep state scam against the taxpayers to skim taxpayer funds off and put them in private hands while providing the appearance of reform while continuing business as usual. It's the typical DC tango - win,win,win, win. The only losers are the American people.

“And STILL no arrests”
IMO and I may be wrong, when is all said and done, no one will be wearing an orange jump suit and frog marched to a Fed prison.
