EDMO is Eastern District of Missouri; the reviewer is the US Attorney for EDMO, appointed by Trump.
When will the never-Trump predators be arrested?

The Twitter link above reveals an email from a New York Times reporter named Mark Mazzetti to lawyers at Covington & Burling. Mazzetti is asking for a meeting with General Mike Flynn’s attorneys to discuss what the New York Times had just discovered, that Joe Pientka told IG Horowitz that Andrew McCabe ordered him to to alter the FD-302 report originally filed in the Flynn case.
The FD-302 that Michael Flynn was shown by the FBI when coercing him to take a guilty plea was not the original 302 and was altered to include statements neither made by Flynn nor the opinions of the investigators after the interview. The original 302 that was created by Pientka indicated they did not believe General Flynn was lying. That’s why they altered it.
The following appears to be the case.
1) Covington & Burling attorneys did not share any of this information with Flynn or the court and should face disbarment.
2) It appears this revelation from Pientka was either redacted in the Horowitz report and/or Horwitz never told anybody about it and it was found in the evidence the US Attorney assigned by Bill Barr to look at the case stumbled across.
3) The New York Times, “the paper of record”, buried the fact that a crime has been committed by McCabe by never reporting it.
4) If this is the reason that Christopher Ray fired Andrew McCabe, It means that Christopher Wray concealed the information while continuing to prosecute General Flynn for a crime he didn’t commit.
One of the implications is, of course, that they now have at least one felony on Andrew McCabe and, hopefully, he will start singing like a bird when presented with the fact he’s going to jail without his cooperation on the whole sordid mess. After all, didn’t Andrew McCabe famously state (to paraphrase) that if he “was going down, everybody else was going down with him”?
And what about Wray? If he was aware of this fact and did not advise the court as well as Flynn’s lawyers, is he also not criminally liable for obstruction of justice as well as liable for civil penalties if pursued?
General Flynn’s been through hell over the last 3 years but it now looks like there’s a huge payday in store for him down the road.
I don’t think Judge Sullivan is a white-hat. In the Senator Stevens case he let the wrongful conviction stand so seat went to a democrat. It was only afterwards that he was shocked, shocked! as to what was going on. See details at:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Stevens#Trial,_conviction,_and_reversal
My prediction is Judge Sullivan will see to it that justice is done for Flynn only after the 2020 election is decided.
His job is to protect the “deep-state”, otherwise this would have been over long ago.
C.W.
And what about Wray? If he was aware of this fact and did not advise the court as well as Flynn’s lawyers, is he also not criminally liable for obstruction of justice as well as liable for civil penalties if pursued?
I have little doubt that Wray is a Mueller like figurehead. He looks the other way while the coupists at the FIB conduct business. He knows there is no DOJ or Congressional oversight and the FIB is free to continue the coup.
I still maintain Sullivan isn’t going to throw this case out.
No, I think he’ll punt the hot potato back to DOJ. Most importantly, he won’t sanction the perps. Barr will pull plug on the prosecution amongst much hysteria from Dems and Fake News.
Watch the movie Richard Jewel. Proves once again the FBI is NOT on our side.
CURLYMO’s lesser known brother.

Flynn prosecutor Brandon Van Grack has zero excuses for not producing this info.
Per DOJ regs:
“The investigative agency’s entire investigative file. . . should be reviewed for discoverable information.”

Thank you!!

You have to be right. Otherwise we still have beatings and torture of innocent defendants and no one cares. Flynn and Stone were physically threatened along with their families. The insipid result of being forced to plead guilty to save his son, for example, can't be right.
They showed him a record of his interview with falsified statements that he had supposedly made but actually hadn't?
And this was going to allow them to coerce him?
The Prosecutor should be reminded that he is now subject to an obstruction of justice investigation.
Along with threatening his son, bankrupting him... and a 302 that reflected neither his actual interview answers nor the opinion of the FBI agents at the time that he was not lying, yes, that is enough to coerce him and probably many of us to plead guilty to something we did not do.
As an attorney who has represented many beaten down defendants, the original reply is right. The defendant in this case, General Flynn had an allocution before the court and told the judge he was pleading guilty of his own free will and because he was factually and legally guilty. That is a high burden to overcome. In most cases, the courts will hold that he waived any irregularities by pleading.
Sullivan needs to send the case back to DOJ and let them drop all charges. This is a travesty what’s been done to General Flynn.
WOW!!!
