This is why you pay Covington & Burling the big bucks...

Flynn’s former lawyers just discovered them? With the story breaking on Holy Saturday? Baloney. Sidney Powell should be chiming in on this come Monday.
WTH is this now?!
Inadvertent is simple malpractice and financial liability. Intentionally withholding documents that can help your client is working for the other side and should justify disbarment.
Why the DOJ even continues with this case is baffling. A waste of money as Trump will probably end up pardoning him as with Manafort, just a matter of right timing.
There have been allegations that this former law firm incorrectly filled out paperwork for him regarding his lobbying activity when it was unnecessary to do so. Those incorrect submissions that likely did not need to be filled out were part of the allegations against him.
I would argue if a person uses a law firm or an accountant in good standing and that firm (not the person) screws it up, they should not be liable for the mistake.
Another point NOT in their favor - they are a beltway firm. Lest we forget, pretty much the entire beltway was betting that Trump and Co would not make one year into the Presidency because of all the fake news flying around from people with “gravitas.” It appeared to me that they were anxious to settle the case from day 1 with little thought to defending him beyond draining his life savings. Perhaps I am too pessimistic.
Are we suffering from the delusion that that particular Law Firm is HONEST.
IT IS AS THOUGH EVERYONE WHO IS A LEFTIE WAS IN ON THE ATTEMPTED COUP. REGARDLESS OF THE PROFESSION. THEY WERE ALL TAINTED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
No wonder Barr is taking so long. JUST LOOK AT WHAT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED....IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.
His Former Attorneys were DEMOCRATS!!! CORRUPT DEMOCRATS, I’m SURE!!
Maybe the old team should get a felony-level contempt of court citation “inadvertently”, of course
Oooo, the penalties here could go well beyond disbarment!
Ya know it!!!!
How convenient! IMHO, his former lawyers were in cahoots with the Swamp!
“What is up with Flynn’s former lawyers and were they trying to screw him over? “
.... they succeeded mightily, I would think.
I seem to remember reading a report a while back indicating that he stopped paying their bills after he hired his new lawyers.
Seems Flynn’s lawyers charged him waayyyyyy too much.
When I was playing the game, I knew that I needed to be careful with the FBI, and I understood that some people in the Swamp were just trying to advance their own career. But, I totally underestimated the degree of corruption that existed within the FBI and in other LE and Intel community. I was never in a position like Flynn, who was clearly a target of the Left, but if that happened to me, I may have ended up like Flynn. I knew for some reason that I didn’t want to go to Washington and therefore passed up some opportunities. Dumb luck.
Dis-Bar the specific lawyer(s) who represented Flynn.
Where’s Sydney Powell?
Flynn appears to be an exceedingly stupid person. Cluelessly allows himself to be set up by the FBI his first day on the job. Pleads guilty to non crimes he didn’t commit. Hires far left anti Trump lawyers to represent him.
Inadvertent is malpractice. Intentional work for the other side is disbarment.
