But making them cough up ALL the documents first is better in the long run.
What if Powell has in hand some Covington documents that they haven’t turned over yet and she’s just sitting on them waiting for Covington to say to the judge that they’ve turned over everything?
Then they’ve cut their own throats. I’m guessing they aren’t quite that stupid, since they know the government turned over a bunch of previously hidden stuff.
They will cough it up and quietly enter negotiations for settlement. I fully expect Powell and Flynn will write books when it’s finally and fully finished. They will be best sellers.
I don’t know who introduced Powell to Flynn, but that person did him and justice a solid with it.
Perhaps a more likely scenario is that she does NOT have them, but knows they exist?
