There was a scheduled joint status filing due today between DOJ prosecutors and the Mike Flynn defense team led by Sidney Powell.
As Mr. Flynn’s cooperation has ended in all other aspects related to the former special counsel, there are apparently many issues still to be resolved prior to Flynn’s sentencing.
In a filing today (full pdf below) Flynn’s defense lawyer, Sidney Powell, notes two significant issues: (1) Ms. Powell is being denied a security clearance she needs to review all of the documents in the case; and (2) the DOJ is refusing to provide the original FBI notes from their interview of Michael Flynn on January 24th, 2017.

This is reminiscent of a third-world justice system! Evidently, that is where we are nowadays. Two tiers and all!!

It has become clear that they are VERY frightened of Flynn and STILL willing to risk a lot to try to prevent him from escaping their clutches, and telling what he knows, as a free man.
My bet is that Flynn knows a.lot, and can harm the still embedded, as yet not espoused coup plotters.
Flynn for Director of National intelligence!

Trump sticks his nose into all kinds of political issues. Why hasn’t he done something to help Flynn or is it since Trump can’t use him he doesn’t care to get involved.

FTA:
Both issues are concerning, ESPECIALLY when you consider this is yet another case under the direct responsibility of U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu. [Same U.S. attorney who let the Awan Brothers escape justice; same U.S. attorney who let James Wolfe avoid prosecution for leaking FISA; same U.S. attorney who ran out clock on McCabe grand jury and punted McCabe prosecution decision back to Main Justice; etc.]
The failure of the DOJ to produce the original FBI notes (FD-302) is directly tied to the efforts of the “small group” to frame and entrap Michael Flynn.
And there’s Jessie Lieu! Nemesis.

Gen. Flynn should cleared of all charges and pardoned by Trump to anything related to Trump and his election. Flynn should be given several million dollars for his aggrevation and to buy a new house and his lawyers should sue the pants off Mueller and his team.
Let's end this circus now.

“(1) Ms. Powell is being denied a security clearance she needs to review all of the documents in the case;...”
Yet the attorneys for Comey have his classified documents. And the Columbia law professor whom Comey sent an unsecured copy of a classified memo to for forwarding to the Times has access. And Comey, Clapper, McCabe Strzok, Page, Ohr and other corrupt officials apparently retain their Security clearances. But the lawyer for Flynn?Never! DoJ apparently means Dept of Jokers. Shameful.

Liar and leaker Jim Comey set up Gen. Mike Flynn and even bragged about it, on tape. Creepy Comey skates and the book is being thrown at Gen. Flynn.... What has happened to our country?

So what are we going to do about it? Repeatedly there is 'special' justice for the overlords and crushing justice for the rest of us.
Had enough yet?

I think the defense has a right to see the evidence against them, so DOJ and FBI can play this game until the judge stops it, but Sidney is going to get the documents.

#10, I am not a lawyer but have spend many an hour wrangling over the insanity of our legal system with lawyer friends, maybe I learned a little bit. I think if the government is unwilling to show classified evidence in a case like this, the defense can move for a dismissal of charges since the government is preventing the clear requirements of our legal system, which is to have access to applicable documentary evidence. The defense KNOWS the documents exist, and I think that they have a reasonable chance of getting the case dismissed if they cannot see the documents, especially since the case is a small potatoes load of mule manure to begin with.
It would be great to get the charges dropped....but of course then Flynn needs to sue Comey and others personally for his legal fees, which have pretty much financially wiped him out.
Let's

Hmm. the last part got chopped somehow.
Let's hope that Flynn gets the charges dismissed and gets made financially whole again by the courts.

Read 'Licensed to Lie' by Sidney Powell.
She's a great attorney and knows what she's up against. Don't underestimate her.
Go Sidney!

Considering all the criminal stuff that Comey got away with perhaps Sidney should give Barr a call and remind him of what he did in that case. It is outrageous what this filthy DOJ pulls and gets away with!!

Don't these people realize how large and powerful the blow-back is going to be if they don't start getting rid of this case. This will be the Tar-Baby for sure! General Flynn will have his day and all those who tormented him will pay dearly. I'm waiting for that.
