This is an excellent article.

Just before the trial the government provided a one sentence statement:

“The United States government is in possession of multiple independent pieces of information relating to the Turkish government’s efforts to influence United States policy on Turkey and Fethullah Gulen, including information relating to communications, interactions, and a relationship between Ekim Alptekin and Michael Flynn and Ekim Alptekin’s engagement of Michael Flynn because of Michael Flynn’s relationship with an ongoing presidential campaign without any reference to the defendant or FIG.”

The “information” was not provided to the special counsel, the prosecution team handling Flynn and Alptekin’s criminal trials, or defense attorneys.

The “information” was probably about the quality of the Steele dossier.

All I need to know about Flynn was that he was working as a lobbyist for a foreign Islamic government (Turkey) while he was serving as s senior advisor to Trump's “Make America Great Again” presidential campaign. He was paid to write an op-ed piece in support of Turkey that was published in the Washington Post ON ELECTION DAY IN 2016, for heaven’s sake.

I may be the only one here who feels this way, but this guy has “Beltway Swamp Denizen” written all over him.

Interesting - the prosecutors made a court filing in June saying that Flynn was not a co-conspirator in the Rafiekian case, then later tried to “correct” their filing by saying he was.

I would assume these filings are made under penalty of perjury.

The judge can merely ask the prosecutors, then, which filing was a lie.

At that point I’d suppose the judge can refer the prosecutor for a perjury complaint.

Which in this case would be fitting.
