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.

Amidst the all out media and Congress DemonRat's assault on Barr following Rick Grenell's release of Team Obama's UNMASKING list, Judge Emmet Sullivan has quickly moved to FURTHER SILENCE FLYNN by STALLING the outcome of his trial.
Anyone who doesn't see this move by Judge Sullivan as an act of DESPERATION by the scaredy-cat Deep State needs to pull their head out of their arse.
This puke of judge needs impeached.
Anybody know if an appeal can rip this case out of this dirty activist’s hands? Once the prosecution drops a case it is not a judges job to keep it going.
The law firm that withheld thousands of pages of documents from the former client. Tee-up the malpractice suit.
Racist phone

Sidney has probably already filed for a Writ of Mandamus.
I saw a headline theorizing Deep State is trying to force Trump to pardon Flynn. I suppose they think this would be a great propaganda win but I don’t see it as being that good for them.
Does General Flynn himself have to appear at this circus?
“controversial proceeding” ?????
More like a legal atrocity.
Yes he is. But we need to consider the idea that Powell and perhaps Barr mishandled this.
Covington et al now has free rein to testify against Flynn. The also have motivation, as Powell opened the opportunity for them to defend themselves against accusations of professional malfeasance.
Not sure how this is going to play out...
they certainly deserve scrutiny
Flynn should sue them
I think I see where Judge Sullivan is going with this. He will cite errors by either the prosecution or the defense or both and declare a MISTRIAL.
A mistrial does not exonerate Flynn. His case can be re-prosecuted at any time by a new DOJ. And I don’t know the fine points of the law, but I suspect that a declaration of a mistrial cannot be appealed.
The General will be held forever under a cloud of suspicion.
perhaps someone is pulling out all the stops on this Judge.
We can now see why nothing ever gets done about the true wrong doers.
Brennan is a disgusting Commie POS
Yesterday’s events looked bad for the judge.
Now, it rather depends on how comprehensive he is going to be.
There’s a lot of malfeasance by a variety of parties here.
Sullivan did entertain Powell’s pleas and submissions for a very long time.
I’m dubious, but maybe my first impression this week was correct.

I feel you may be on to something. Looking back at what he did in the prosecution of Senator Stevens, he may wall be setting up both sides for a fall. Time will tell.
Do they? Attorney client privilege remains after representation ends. It isn't absolute, but I don't see much of an opening here for Covington to testify against Flynn.
It’s not like this is a murder case, it’s just a lying to congress case. We’ve seen several cases of this over the last few years without anyone being charged? This “judge” has a real hard-on for Flynn.
Flynn must really KNOW SOMETHING the deep state wants to keep hidden.... ..I stI’ll hearken back to Hillary’s statement on night of election...”we’re all going to hang”
