MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

'Mr. Flynn will ask this Court to dismiss the entire prosecution based on the outrageous and un-American conduct of law enforcement officials and the subsequent failure of the prosecution to disclose this evidence.'

Earlier this week, Michael Flynn’s star attorney, Sidney Powell, filed under seal a brief in reply to federal prosecutors’ claims that they have already given Flynn’s defense team all the evidence they are required by law to provide. A minimally redacted copy of the reply brief has just been made public and with it shocking details of the deep state’s plot to destroy Flynn.

While the briefing at issue concerns Powell’s motion to compel the government to hand over evidence required by Brady and presiding Judge Emmett Sullivan’s standing order, Powell’s 37-page brief pivots between showcasing the prosecution’s penchant for withholding evidence and exposing significant new evidence the defense team uncovered that establishes a concerted effort to entrap Flynn. Along the way, Powell drops half-a-dozen problems with Flynn’s plea and an equal number of justifications for outright dismissal of the criminal charges against Flynn.

What is most striking, though, is the timeline Powell pieced together from publicly reported text messages withheld from the defense team and excerpts from documents still sealed from public view. The sequence Powell lays out shows that a team of “high-ranking FBI officials orchestrated an ambush-interview of the new president’s National Security Advisor, not for the purpose of discovering any evidence of criminal activity—they already had tapes of all the relevant conversations about which they questioned Mr. Flynn—but for the purpose of trapping him into making statements they could allege as false.”
‘The Upper Echelon of the FBI Met to Orchestrate It All’

First came FBI agent Peter Strzok’s text to FBI attorney Lisa Page “as news of the ‘salacious and unverified’ allegations of the ‘Steele dossier’ dominated the media.” “Sitting with Bill watching CNN. A TON more out. . . We’re discussing whether, now that this is out, we can use it as a pretext to go interview some people,” Strzok told his paramour.

Then, quoting from a sealed statement by Strzok, Powell reveals that over next two weeks, there were “many meetings” between Strzok and FBI Deputy Director Andrew] McCabe to discuss “whether to interview National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and if so, what interview strategies to use.” And “on January 23, the day before the interview, the upper echelon of the FBI met to orchestrate it all. Deputy Director McCabe, General Counsel James Baker, Lisa Page, Strzok, David Bowdich, Trish Anderson, and Jen Boone strategized to talk with Mr. Flynn in such a way as to keep from alerting him from understanding that he was being interviewed in a criminal investigation of which he was the target.”

Next came “Comey’s direction to ‘screw it’ in contravention of longstanding DOJ protocols,” leading McCabe to personally call Flynn to schedule the interview. Yet none of Comey’s notes on the decision to interview Flynn were turned over to defense. Even Obama-holdover “Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates candidly opined that the interview ‘was problematic’ and ‘it was not always clear what the FBI was doing to investigate Flynn,” Powell stressed. Yet again, the prosecution did not turn over Yates’ notes, but only “disclosed a seven-line summary of Ms. Yates statement six months after Mr. Flynn’s plea.”

Following Strzok’s questioning of Flynn, he exchanged more texts with Page: “Describe the feeling, nervousness, excitement knowing we had just heard him denying it all. Knowing we’d have to pivot into asking. Puzzle round and round about it. Talk about the funny details. Remember what I said that made Andy laugh and ask if he really said that.”

The texts also confirmed Strzok did not believe Flynn thought he was lying: “Also have some faith in and my assessment. . . . I’m finding it hard to go out on a counterintuitive yet strongly felt ledge with so many competent voices expressing what I feel too: bullsh*t – that doesn’t make sense. I made some joke about what F said. Something patriotic or military.” Page responded: “It was clear that you both walked in and felt very strongly so that obviously counts for something. You made a joke about a military band.”

A sealed statement from Strzok confirmed that the “agents did three briefings the day of the interview,” and that Strzok had reported that Flynn “had a sure demeanor, and he was telling the t***h or believed he was—even though he did not remember it all.” This led the FBI and DOJ to then write “an internal memo dated January 30, 2017, exonerating Mr. Flynn of acting as an ‘agent of Russia’” and expressing no concern of a possible Logan Act violation.

The entire investigation they did was a manufactured s**m. Absolutely shameful. They ruined Flynn's life for the most part. The entire verdict against Flynn should be vacated and he should sue all the perpetrators individually as well as the FBI/Justice Dept.

I've been telling you for how long now that Flynn was bait?

Is it beginning to sink in I might have been right?

When does anyone plead guilty to something and not get sentenced...for 2 years?!

OK...you may not know...NEVER. They never do this. You plead guilty you get sentenced you serve your sentence. BANG...just like that.

Flynn was and still is on a mission. Flynn is the key and guess who Trump used to get his testimony on the record...right under the noses of Klinton and Obama...Mueller!

They did...and it looks like the plan is to roll out and declassify increasingly damaging T***HS about Washington corruption.

And it was important to the cause of freedom to FORCE the criminal political wannabe-"elites" into revealing themselves which they've obligingly done for three years (381 to e******n BTW).

Remember Cliven Bundy? His sentence was vacated due to prosecutorial misconduct. It happens.

They picked the wrong people to piss off. They overreached and like Twain says in Huckleberry Finn, "Overreachin' don't pay."

Ummmm … not true. Weissman was involved as a prosecutor in the Enron case, where, I believe, two people who pled guilty and began serving their sentences had their cases overturned and were set free (a little too late). All this due to misconduct on the part of Weissman. And guess who was also working on the Mueller investigation … none other than Weissman himself.

Presiding Judge Emmett Sullivan takes a very dim view of misconduct by the FBI & DOJ!

In reversing the conviction of former Sen. Ted Stevens in 2009, he had this to say:

"In nearly 25 years on the bench, I've never seen anything approaching the mishandling
and misconduct that I've seen in this case,".

An unnamed FBI whistle-blower accused prosecutors of withholding evidence from the defense.
Notes showed that responses by witness were inconsistent with testimony he gave against Stevens and that information from the interview could have benefited Stevens at trial.

A person cannot be convicted solely upon a confession, there must be supporting evidence.

The supporting evidence just vanished into thin air. Sullivan will likely dismiss the entire case.
