“The original law firm that represented him should do the right thing, and refund him every penny he gave them,”

IMHO the original law firm was in cahoots with the deep state.

Some of his attorneys should be disbarred or criminally prosecuted themselves, along with the deep staters that organized this .

"IMHO the original law firm was in cahoots with the deep state."

Most definitely. They just mouthed to Flynn what the DOJ told them to say. They weren't representing him. They were representing the DOJ the whole time.

Flynn should be given the honor to press the play button on the Weiner laptop at her military tribunal.

“The media will attempt to spin as a partisan attack”

Already happening, as we type.

“The House will open investigations into Barr-Durham”
DECLAS will bring down the House.

Mitchy better step up and slap Schiff. A&C is the sole domain of the Senate.

Judge Sullivan has to signed off on it but the DOJ present good grounds on why it should be dropped. Even if Flynn lied, which he didn’t he was coerced to do so, it’s still not material to any investigation or crime being committed. The new documents show that the case against Flynn was being closed for lack of evidence of Flynn colluding with the RUSSIANS or any crime for that . There was no reason to conduct that interview with Flynn

Okay-—thanks so much for that info! The lefties are crying pretty hard and hanging all their hopes on Sullivan not signing off on it.

That’s their hope and only hope that Sullivan doesn’t agree to dropping the case. Once a judge agrees then they can’t blame Trump or Barr for meddling as they are desperately trying to claim

I asked a lawyer here in Canada is what happens if you beat a murder charge but spent $100,000 on your defense. He said you have to sue to get your money back! Wow, so you lose even when winning. Is it the same in the USA? If you are high profile enough perhaps the shame heaped on the state compels them to pay one back.

Did you bring your COVID mask?
It’s required.
And...6 posts of separation.

I guess I’ll refrain from fully celebrating this until we see what the judge is going to do. Is it your personal contention that he will agree to dropping it? And have you any idea when we will find out?

Can't tell ya.

It's on the QT and very hush hush.

You'll see.
