DOJ hoping by delaying next court meeting it also delays the judges hammer down of the heads of DOJ ...
Must be something in the IG report that would help Gen. Flynn?
Prosecutorial misconduct.
Why go to all this trouble when the NYTimes/ Washington Post said the IG report is a big nothing?

EXACTLY!!
It’s not a big nothing. But it won’t be what it SHOULD be.
It should call out the political bias and illegal activities of the top brass in the DOJ and FBI. But instead it will call the top brass inept leaders who if they knew what they were doing would have prevented this crap from ever happening. And what crap did happen? Well some low level lawyer lied on documents setting off a chain of events that never should have occurred.
So they found their fall guy. The top brass who are all gone now anyway will be called bad bureaucrats and one guy will go to jail. But DOJ will say he cooperated with the investigation so he should get a light sentence. Never mind the billions that were wasted and the 4 years lost on the Trump administration because of his lies.
Trump will get to say he was right and the FBI targetted his campaign and illegally spied on him. But no one of importance will go to jail.
And the reason why...if Barr put Comey in prison all his cases would then be up for review and many criminals he a part of putting in prison would likely go free. So Barr doesn’t want to be known as the AG that let rapists and murders go free—that’s how the media would spin it. But he also doesn’t want to let the democrats get completely away with this. So he is trying to thread a needle...and he will fail.
Luke warm will be spit out by the right wing. Trump supporters get prison for process crimes from an illegal witch hunt while real criminals in the coup go free—not even tried in a court of law. No family ruin by needing to spend money on a defense. No raids at 2am with news crews filming. Nope...the deep state won.
No, deliver it now and les see if there are discrepancies, AKA lies.
Maybe the DOJ is thinking about withdrawing the entire case if certain things are released in the IG report. That might save their lawyers from being hrld in contempt.
They don’t want to do anything else that will get them in more hot water.
They want to see if they are clear, so they know what they can or cannot get away with.
Judge should make them finish up NOW!
Because when it comes out the FBI and others framed Flynn they do not want to take the fall and get disbarred, prosecuted, and sued for Mueller and Comey everyone else who started this.
It sounds like a “it’s not my fault” is coming from the lawyers.
They want to make sure that none of the material THEY release, is contradicted by documents released Dec 9.
If there’s discrepancies, it would trigger a perjury investigation.
This sounds more like a delay tactic in an effort to see what will be released so they don’t get caught in their Multiple LIES!! he Judge should Deny this motion and order the material released BEFORE the IG Report goes Public.
