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.

“This Judge had tons of reasons to dismiss this case long ago, he has now become prosecutor.”
Wish he would prosecute the real criminals.
Given that this Judge has threatened Flynn with a perjury charge and contempt there’s no way his attorney will let him answer any such questions. He will assert the 5th.
Sullivan is violating the common law legal system right down to the very essence of its existence. Forget the Constitution, this reprobate is in defiance of justice “itself”.
A mistrial does nothing to negate the pending Motion to Dismiss.
Why post sensationalist garbage from GP, when the original article was posted just before it?
I should the think that by the time this is said and done the General would own Covington and Burley.
If the former AG Holder wasn’t a partner in C&B this prolly would all be over by now.
Thank you
WTF??? Those attorneys are CORRUPT as HELL!
COLOR, especially BLACK COLOR, is way more THICKER than BLOOD or LAWS!
I am not blaming the victim.
I despise proceduralism, but practioners of the law cannot ignore its requirements.
I sent Sidney Powell an email right after the retired judge was invited to submit an amicus brief in support of the sentencing of Flynn. I suggested that:
1. Covington, Prosecutor Van Graack, and Judge Sullivan may have met in Sullivan’s chambers; and there must be a record of those meetings.
2. There are likely emails between them discussing how to proceed in the case to insure LTG Flynn pleads guilty.
3. That Sidney should request the DOJ provide her with all emails between Covington, Van Graack, and Sullivan.
4. Suggested that she file a petition for a writ of Mandamus with the Circuit Court to Order Sullivan to dismiss the case.
Aside from that, why did Covington not demand the original 302s from the get go? Covington could have had this case dismissed within a month of being indicted.
Covington wasn’t incompetent; they were working with Van Graack to bankrupt Flynn and force him to plead guilty to some law he didn’t even break. And, how does Covington justify 20,000+ pages of documents and charging Flynn for drafting, reading, and responding to them when they knew he didn’t commit a crime?
Sullivan is trying everything he can think of to delay the entry of an ORDER dismissing the case.
In the end, ordering Covington to reappear is not going to work out well for Sullivan and Covington.
Sullivan has to be a part of the conspiracy to violate Flynn’s constitutional rights to due process. Why else would he deny Sidney Powell’s demands for more discovery from the DOJ?
Sullivan forgot the first axiom of holes. When you are in one, stop digging. He is so deep in the corruption now, he has no option other than to keep digging.
I can’t imagine Covington wants to be brought back into the case. I’d bet they wish it would just go away.
If Covington is back in, Flynn/Powell has a right to examine/cross-examine the Covington attorneys. You can bet that will not go well.
That would explain a lot.
“He is desperately trying to protect Obama.”
Nothing on tonight’s NBC Nightly News on today’s Trump tweet or the Flynn business.
He needs worse than that.
Maybe the Judge will order that the tape of the recorded phone conversation be provided! Just ask the FBI to provide the tape where Flynn was talking to the Russian ambassador on December 29, 2016! If Flynn is guilty of lying about the conversation, let’s see and hear the conversation which was recorded! Show us the tape, play us the tape Judge!
My take:
Obama is not and never was a USA citizen. The intelligence community, including Flynn and Rodgers, know this.
Every action by Obama, other than those voted on by the House and Senate, is void.
This is about protect his presidency and protecting the massive cash-for-secrets corruption game that funded it all.
Sidney Powell always knows her options. Sullivan is trying to sneak something past Powell. He should have known it wasn’t going to work.
Powell may be waiting on filing a petition for a Writ of Mandamus until she gets more documentation from an now friendly DOJ.
