Feds Accuse Michael Flynn of ‘Advancing Conspiracy Theories’ at Devin Nunes’ Request
Law and crime ^

Posted on 10/01/2019 12:48:13 PM PDT by janetjanet998

Federal prosecutors have accused President Donald Trump‘s former national security advisor Michael Flynn of making frivolous document production requests that are not actually related to his defense at all but are instead an attempt to fuel outrage by spreading conspiracy theories about the Russiagate investigation. And one of those theories was allegedly suggested by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA).

In a 41-page motion filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Jesse K. Liu and her top lieutenants Brandon Van Granck and Jocelyn Ballantine argued that Flynn’s recent request for potentially exculpatory evidence known as Brady material is a sideshow with no genuine legal bearing on his case–which is currently in a very slow-drip sentencing phase.

[T]he defendant’s filings—although captioned as a motion to compel production of Brady material—are in fact an effort by the defendant to have his case dismissed. Since the beginning of their involvement, the defendant’s new counsel have sought to get the charges dropped, professed their client’s actual innocence, and perpetuated conspiracy theories, all while stating that the defendant does not intend to withdraw his guilty plea. Certainly, true and credible Brady violations in a case could justify sanctions and other remedies, to include dismissal. In this case, however, nothing could be further from the truth.

Conspiracy theories become conspiracy fact with evidence.

Not sure Judge Sullivan will buy this. Feds are stonewalling and Gen. Flynn’s new counsel, Sidney Powell has identified documents that currently exist.

It’s creating a problem the judge will need to decide. I think he will press the metal one more time and demand the Feds cough it up. If not, bye-bye sentencing.

That’s my hope. I don’t know how the judge views the current status of the case.

That usually means it’s very close to the truth.

A duly elected president should be able to stop his underlings at the DOJ and end this nonsense.

This is the kind of crap that you get when you have a rogue department in the executive branch.

If you think about it, Brady (eg; exculpatory) material is generally going to look like it has no bearing; it has bearing only upon comparative examination.

Flynn’s answer should be: “what...you runnin’ out of money to pursue your case or something?”

There will be DOJ & special prosecutor conspiracies (against Flynn and Trump) uncovered if the Brady material is released. Therefore the Brady request puts them in a bind.

Most troubling is that the term conspiracy theory is the Democrat talking point for this month. The prosecutors affinity for Democrat politics is showing.

Did the turn over the text message from McCabe that said, first we f**k Flynn and then we f**k Trump?

That seem relevant.

“In this case, however, nothing could be further from the truth.”
“That usually means it’s very close to the truth.”

Especially when U.S. Attorneys, backed up by the FBI, the “world’s preeminent law enforcement organization,” swear to it.

So prove your claim he’s lying, release the documents. Oh, you don’t want to? Then we don’t have to believe you. (not you Janet, the feds).
