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.

"Both parties abrogated the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 1961"

Don't forget who stole the 1960 election. We'd be a different country today otherwise.

Trump made a YUGE mistake in the beginning of his presidency by NOT firing scores of individuals within the various agencies, NAMELY the State Dept, DOJ, FBI, and CIA.

The DemonicRats have set out FROM DAY ONE TO CRIMINALIZE TRUMP'S AUTHORITY and they ALONG WITH THEIR COMPLICIT MEDIA AND ACTIVIST LEFTIST JUDGES have made it nearly impossible for him to do ANYTHING he is otherwise authorized to do.

OPTICS be damned! JUST DO IT, TRUMP. JUST DO IT!

You have mustached grossly what Powell is doing

The govt withheld exculpatory material, i.e. Brady material. That is egregious prosecutorial a use. Look at Ted Stevens case, Arthur Anderson case, and others

So “Brady” evidence is now a “sideshow”. This contention alone shows how corrupt the Left is.

Yup.

The DemonicRats have set out FROM DAY ONE TO CRIMINALIZE TRUMP'S AUTHORITY and they ALONG WITH THEIR COMPLICIT MEDIA AND ACTIVIST LEFTIST JUDGES have made it nearly impossible for him to do ANYTHING he is otherwise authorized to do.

Yup, Trump has the authority to control the DOJ. But the Deep State has been threatening Trump with impeachment if he tried to take control of the DOJ.

So Trump held back, and look what the Deep State is doing anyway. They are impeaching him.

On day one, a president should do what's right. Take control of what you have authority to take control of, the DOJ!

President Trump should pardon Flynn and put a stop to this whole farce.

What some people call conspiracy theories other people call connecting the dots.

“On day one, a president should do what’s right. Take control of what you have authority to take control of, the DOJ! “

That’s what his cabinet members are for. No question Sessions was a horrible choice, and others weren’t so hot as well.

But he had had no experience in government. How do you identify thousands of people who are eventually found to be bad actors, and how do you find the right people to replace them with?

“...Both parties abrogated the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009...”
And therein lies the root of all the issues. And the POS is supposedly running a shadow govt that’s still calling a lot of the shots. We all know what needs to be done.

The prosecutors politicizing of case should be a red flag to any judge that this is exactly what it seems; a political prosecution.
