Sullivan must still be pissed off that the prosecutors in the Ted Stevens case were not disbarred as they should have been. Inviting the Senior Legal Ethics Counsel from the D.C. Bar Association is meant to make sure Flynn’s first attorneys and the prosecutors don’t escape punishment this time. This “invitation” is not an invitation that can be refused.
And just why would it take 24 lawyers and six weeks to assemble all the documents in Flynn’s unless they are going to try and remove significant portions that implicate the former attorneys in a conspiracy against Flynn?
Judge Sullivan doesn’t trust prosecutors to play fair. In reality, you couldn’t ask for a better judge except for Judge Royce Lambreath.
Fake news got me. I have only the fact that I’m distracted by being in the middle of moving into a new house as an excuse . . .
If that’s the worst thing that happens today, we are doing pretty good.
FLynn is a DEMOCRAT!
Delay! Delay! Delay! This is all a clear example of “running out the clock.” Until Flynn is sentenced, he has a GAG order, and cannot disclose anything. Which is the real purpose of this whole exercise.
Just look at the truth that came out from Papadopolous after he served his bogus sentence. That’s only a fraction of what Flynn knows.
You think Powell is deep state? Her team asked for the delay.
“And just why would it take 24 lawyers and six weeks to assemble all the documents in Flynn’s unless they are going to try and remove significant portions that implicate the former attorneys in a conspiracy against Flynn”
I do not understand that either, should be a simple matter to just turn over Flynn’s case file to Powell, no need for review of any sort other than making sure entire file is transferred. Don’t see why 24 lawyers would be needed.
Flynn was Ground Zero in the attempt by Obama to take out Trump. The groundwork laid by Sally Yates and the intelligence community was extensive. Peeling back these layers has been quite a task.
Sullivan has fend off the Flynn prosecutors numerous times in his court room and given Flynn every right to fire his first set of attorneys and in early July accepted the new Flynn attorneys request for delay, related to the huge number of documents to review from the beginning and because there are many more coming they have not received.
In order to better serve Flynn, this was a duty filled request by his new attorneys and a no-brainer for the judge to cover the request with his consent.
Sullivan, privately, gets plenty of applause from the White House.
Digital transfers of the documents could easily be done by a couple of people in one day. I suspect the old attorneys are going to turn over paper copies in order to make it much more difficult to search the contents.
