One day after former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's legal team made the bombshell allegations that the FBI had pushed him not to bring a lawyer to his fateful Jan. 24, 2017 interview with agents at the White House, the federal judge overseeing Flynn's criminal case late Wednesday ordered Special Counsel Robert Mueller to turn over all of its highly secret documents related to the questioning.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan -- who overturned the 2008 conviction of former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens after government misconduct came to light -- is weighing how to sentence Flynn, who pleaded guilty to one count of lying to federal authorities in the Russia probe during that interview in the West Wing.
Flynn faced mounting legal bills that forced him to sell his home in the run-up to his guilty plea, and Mueller has recommended he receive no prison time.
Sullivan's extraordinary request puts Mueller under the microscope and sets a Friday afternoon deadline for the special counsel's office to turn over sensitive FBI documents under seal. The judge's review could shed light on why the FBI apparently took a significantly more aggressive tack in handling the Flynn interview than it did during other similar matters, including the agency's sit-downs with Hillary Clinton and ex-Trump adviser George Papadopoulos.
Flynn is set to be sentenced next Tuesday -- but Sullivan's move might delay that date, or lead to other dramatic and unexpected changes in Flynn's legal fate. Sullivan even has the authority to toss Flynn's guilty plea and the charge against him if he concludes that the FBI interfered with Flynn's constitutional right to counsel, although he has given no outward indications that he intends to do so.

That truly is the face of evil. You just know there’s a perv hidden there — and not hidden well.
Yeah...and what happened? Who went to jail or was held accountable for that gov't misconduct?
Nobody...as usual.
Stop thinking that someone on a White Horse is going to rescue us. The Deep State is undefeated so far.
Don’t hold your breath. If Mueller hands anything at all over, it will be altered. He will protect himself at any cost. Sacrificing ethics is no problem for him.
Did they forget to Mirandize him too?
Yes.

And restore his home?
“In nearly 25 years on the bench, I’ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I’ve seen in this case,” Sullivan said.”
Was there any accountability for the above?
The paper shredders are working full time.
I don’t think so!! The Holder/Obama DOJ did nothing. I don’t recall anything else happening.
Trump made a grave mistake not firing Sessions and Mueller for criminal activities.
they should vacate the plea (an sentencing) and have an open trial in court, under oath on record. Including discovery.
That would get very interesting fast.
Why do I have the feeling one of those commercial shredder trucks just pulled up in front of FBI headquarters?
bump
I hope Mueller refuses, is found in contempt of court, and thrown in jail.
I don’t think Flynn ever committed a crime.
