Michael Flynn's defense team says new DOJ documents contain 'shocking exculpatory evidence'

Newly released documents about the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn show additional “exculpatory evidence” linked to a Justice Department review of the case investigators built against him shortly after President Trump’s election, his lawyers argued in a court filing Friday.

“These documents establish that on January 25, 2017 – the day after the agents ambushed him at the White House – the agents and DOJ officials knew General Flynn’s statements were not material to any investigation, that he was ‘open and forthcoming’ with the agents, that he had no intent to deceive them, and that he believed he was fully truthful with them,” Flynn’s attorneys wrote. “In short, there was no crime for many reasons.”

Flynn’s lawyers said that top Justice Department officials and the special counsel’s office knew about the documents for three years before they were able to obtain them, following U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeffrey Jensen’s review of the case.

I predict. Labor Day. Indictments

How about turning that prediction into something meaningful, like a bet?

Sullavan’s role is to keep this shell game going until after election day.

Being obstreperous and opposing what ever the Pet Rock of the moment of the Establishment can thrust one into ‘the Wilderness’. I recommend any of several books on Winston Churchill's experience ‘in the Wilderness’. His particular sin was in conducting a very loud campaign against the ‘Government of India Act’. which was a bill as complex as Obama Care and as unproven but one the very top people in all parties had signed on to. There are few people in politics that are both as combative as WSC or have as rich friends as he had. A good example is what the Establishment did to Congressman George Miller, just because he continually expressed ‘no respect’ for his betters.

Emmett Sullivan is on the case. /eyeroll

Unbelievable! This is why they should have been rolling out indictments in 2019, so it doesn’t have the look of being politically motivated.

“I predict. Labor Day. Indictments”

I don’t think so. Trump said on Hannity’s show the other night that nothing is being done by Barr.

You’ve got to be kidding.

Thanks for responding to my post and thanks for the tip. I’ve read a few books on Churchill recently, but nothing in detail about the Government of India Act, although the name rings a bell.

Thanks for responding to my post. Keep the faith, fellow patriot.
