And the Judge is aware of it.
Flynn should sue them for malpractice.
Make those unethical attorneys refund all their fees to the client!
I guess he didn’t know he had two Deep State lawyers.
They all need to be DISBARRED AND SUED!!
It appears that General Flynn’s attorneys were working against their client’s best interests.

Wonder how much GPS Fusion paid them.
Public spankings like this are unusual. The judge is sending a message.
Sorry to say this but you all overreact to legal developments with which you are not familiar. You forget this is the judge who started accusing Flynn of treason and the Mueller team had to step in to protect Flynn.
If I had to best characterize judges, it would be to say they don’t care. Perhaps that’s for the best but they don’t care about the interests of the participants.
on its face, the covington and burling lawyers seem to be in some way incompetent or at the very least, caught legally off base...(??)
It’s hard to comment on this drama anymore because nothing makes sense in all these legal proceedings. Flynn made his plea deal more than a year and a half ago. He still hasn’t been sentenced, and now the prosecutors are saying he won’t be called as a witness in the other case ... which was the reason they gave for delaying his sentencing for all this time!
You can’t teach ethics to a crooked lawyer.
I’m a CPA that has to practice under certain ethics rules which address the issue of returning documents to clients. There is no requirement for me to return documents that I have prepared or that the client has prepared under my request. This sounds simple but in practice the lines between what is my property and what is the clients property can be murky.
I don’t know what attorneys have for similar ethics but I imagine there may be legitimate questions regarding what documents they must provide and what documents that must be provided. For example, internal memos regarding whether their are any conflicts of interest may be argued that they are not required to be disclosed.
The judge bringing in a ethics expert may simply be his way of addressing legitimate ethical questions.
Once again, double standards for thee and we.
“Ms. Sidney will rip the bad guys a new one! :)
Maybe, but I doubt he has another house to sell.
And a crowd-source fund would probably be banned.
I have been saying that from the day the news reported the names of his attorneys, and their law firm. The firm has close connections to the Democrat Party and hired Eric Holder when left his AG position.
They had been working against him, and for the prosecution from the get-go. They could have had all the charges dismissed within a month or two.
Their plan was to bleed him dry with legal fees to force him into bankruptcy and then lie about President Trump.
It’s what corrupt prosecutors do when they are determined to convict innocent people.
The judge can actually order his previous attorneys and their firm
To refund all the fees Flynn paid to them.
Don’t be surprised if his prior attorneys end up like Mark Rich...to take their deep State secrets to the beyond.
There’s also small possibility, they just sucked, and are trying to keep Flynn from suiing them for incompetence...
But best guess, is they were deep State rats, and part of a huge mosaic of fraud to sabotage Flynn.
Unleash the dogs of war on them!!!
I mean Sydney Powell...fixed it.
I don’t think Judge Sullivan is requiring the senior legal ethics counsel for the District of Columbia Bar to appear at a hearing for the purpose of lecturing Flynn’s former attorneys.
I believe Judge Sullivan is so pissed off the the DOJ prosecutors blatantly violated the constitutional rights of Senator Stevens, referred them to the D.C. Bar Ethics Committee, which did absolutely nothing to discipline them. I’m sure Sullivan thought they should have been disbarred.
Sullivan is requiring the Ethics Committee to show up so Sullivan can ask for any reasons Flynn’s former attorneys shouldn’t be disbarred. Sullivan doesn’t need the Senior Ethics Counsel for the D.C. Bar to lecture Flynn’s former attorneys; Sullivan could do that himself.
