Powell is a terrible lawyer. I read the documents in the Flynn case. She had no idea what she was doing, and in fact did not help Flynn at all.
Among many other things, she advised Flynn to commit perjury, and he admitted committing perjury, based — apparently — on her advice.
Her legal argument was shoddy and disingenuous. Her total avoidance of arguing the legal issues, relying instead on spectacular assertions (which were probably true), reflected her poor legal skills.
Honesty would have been a better legal strategy, but like poor lawyers everywhere, she had no idea how to argue honestly.
When exactly was that. This is the first I heard of it.
I heard a liberal law firm told him to do that. Powell did not, unless you can prove it.
