General Mike Flynn’s fired lawyers at COVINGTON & BURLING filed court papers on Thursday to reappear in Flynn’s case.
Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Flynn’s former legal team to reappear as an interested party and they complied by filing a notice of appearance.
Via Law & Crime:
The federal judge overseeing Michael Flynn’s criminal prosecution has directed the legal team that Flynn fired to reappear as an interested party in the controversial proceeding. On Thursday, that former legal team complied by filing a notice of appearance.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of the District of Columbia on Thursday ordered the clerk of the court to “add Covington & Burling LLP (‘Covington’) as an interested party in this matter and directed counsel for Covington to file a notice of appearance on behalf of Covington as an interested party.”
On April 25, 2020, The Gateway Pundit reported on former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder’s role at Covington and Burling as his law firm was representing General Michael Flynn from corrupt deep state operatives.
Covington had numerous conflicts of interest related to their biggest case ever, representing General Michael Flynn in his unjust indictment by the Mueller gang. Flynn’s attorneys at the firm withheld evidence from their client. They asked for dirt on President Trump. They hired individuals that were involved in the criminal Spygate scandal.
After spending millions of dollars in legal fees, and after untold negative stories in the fake news media, General Flynn obtained new lawyers.
Flynn’s new lead counsel Sidney Powell fought to get her hands on the thousands of documents Covington & Burling were hiding from Flynn and the Court.
The hidden Brady material was finally released and General Flynn’s case was dropped by the DOJ after handwritten notes revealed the FBI framed Flynn.

Hoping so.
If they are to “prove” their former client’s perjury in the first place they would HAVE to demonstrate they did not COUNSEL their client to commit perjery. This is something they cannot do because in order to even venture there they would have to give up attorney client privilege which they cannot do.
They violate atty/client privilege which is forever, and somehow “prove” perjury, it would only be in the case that THEY THEMSELVES suborned perjury in their own client. Which would remove the atty’s in question from any further legal practice. Period.
The largesse of this judges “friends” are evident in his behaviour, which is NOT to render justice... but rather judgement HE determines all on his own to be the result.
He will end up in prison himself, he keeps this up.
Cover for the Deep State which used illegal 5 eyes intercepts.
Want to take spotlight off Spygate.
Carry out Obama's vendetta
Want to rub DOJ's nose in it.....
Your take is plausible. Ive also heard speculation that the judge is just doing every thing he can to stall the case past Jan in the hopes that a Dem administration will withdraw the motion to dismiss. But I dont think he can stall it that long. Flynn will file a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the dismissal motion to be granted and the law is on his side. So you may be right. The judge may be going to throw the lawyers under the bus as cover to grant the motion. But, hes burning a bunch of bridges by doing so. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
This judge is going berserk. He is going to need a straight-jacket before this is over with. How long before he orders Flynn to lie to the FBI in open court?
DOJ needs to put a stop to this now.
These lawyers deserve a HUGE smackdown. It is one way that Sullivan can save face and start blaming other people.
