Quite right, for example when the leftists want to send out LEOs to confiscate guns for examples, although many other examples abound.

Covington was given exculpatory evidence they never revealed to their client. Statements by agents that they believed he was truthful seems like something Flynn should have known and they never revealed it to him.

You're being disingenuous to hide your weak argument. Bad mojo.

More accurately put Contreras's wife and Strzok's wife were good neighbors and friends, whereas judge Contreras and Agent Strzok were seldom home being as busy as they were and not nearly familiar with one another as their respective wives were. But that is just another example of the courts taking extra care to make sure Flynn was being treated fairly and really have been quite patient with his motions for extra judicial processes often no matter how contrived they were in law or fact. There has been nothing, I repeat, nothing, that come from these motions that were 'new' to the government, Mueller, Judge Sullivan, or even Flynn himself, and none of it was exculpatory, as per his Brady motion rulings.
Click to expand...

Yet the appeals court hearing found it exculpatory. His motions and rejections of repeated Brady motions that were later revealed and strengthened the defense of Flynn, were revealed with the DOJ filing and most of it Sullivan saw en camera and rejected...why, exactly?

If you really want to see a political prosecution, this is it.

Flynn testified "under oath" that he was satisfied with his legal representation. They probably can't say whether they were particularly satisfied with him since he filed a false FARA statement through them

That is a standard question. Obviously, his legal team failed him.

Lmao, you've been pretending so long you're not a deep state promoter, it is kind of embarrassing that THIS is how you decide to tell people.

Only politician that has wiped emails is the hildabeast (Hillary Clinton). She attempted to wipe 3000 of them. My question to you is: What dog do you have in this hunt? Or are you an American living in the UK?
Click to expand...

Your claim is both false and calculated to mislead.

The entire Bush White House conducted much of its business through third party e-mail, ignoring the Presidential Records Act. Karl Rove, who spent eight years in that White House, sent less than one dozen e-mails. When they were exposed for running a scheme to install political operatives in various US Attorney’s offices, they yanked hard drives out of government PC’s and destroyed them.

Trump just defies the law and hides the information, and blocks witnesses, daring anyone to respect the rule of law, over his baronial authority.

Your guy has no problem using the Office of the President for personal gain and place a Constitutional function of Government under duress. Yet, the right wing has no problem with that whatsoever. False patriots to our supreme law of the land, the Ignorant, or simple Russian tools, do that.

Does anyone really believe this is worth a thread? This is slow walked, piece of "impeached president theater" in direct violation of the DOJ policy limiting partisan interference, beginning 90 days before an election.
Click to expand...

There is no 90 day policy.
There is a concern with the DOJ upon launching investigations upon candidates for office close to an election. But there is nothing written about it.
But this doesn't apply here-- the lawyer is not a candidate for office-- nor will it in general.
Barr has already said Biden is not under investigation.

And no one in the Clinton campaign has been identified as working with the Russians at all, other than Steele mining his old contacts for opponant research.
Click to expand...

That isn't entirely accurate as his sources were third and fourth hand of whom he did not know their identity.
The FBI was able to identify his main source, and that person basically said it was all just bar talk.

There is no indication that the Clinton campaign coordinated their activities with the FSB, as you try to claim. The evidence that the Trump team did is overwhelming.

There is NO evidence that the Trump campaign coordinated their activities with Russian intelligence.
Even Mueller concedes this in his Stone indictment.

Flynn was investigated after 8/16/16.
He was cleared of being a Russian agent by the end of that year, Comey had signed off upon its closure.
An innocuous conversation that even Comey said was of no concern doesn't change that equation.

You are confusing using alternate email accounts for government business with wiping government business emails which is what Hillary did. The presidential Records Act requires any government business done on a private service to be copied or forwarded to an official account within 20 days. It also requires that all government business emails be preserved. Hillary attempted to delete at least 3000 government business emails from a private and unsecured server. Many of those emails were classified. As for your claim about the Bush Administration, I doubt your claims as you did not provide a source. In Hillary's case there is no longer any doubt.

I just presented the 14 months old, sworn testimony of Trump campaign luminary, Hope Hicks. No one I am aware of is closer or more trusted by Trump than "Hopey". She testified that Carter Page was not separated from the 2016 campaign, because he was never part of it....
Click to expand...

It doesn't really matter what Hope Hicks thought. What matters is what the FBI thought.
And they identified Page as an employee of the campaign probably because Trump himself said it.

And Page was supposedly part of the conspiracy by the campaign to hack the DNC.
And the circumstances of this this whole thread is based upon the complete lack of evidence for such a theory--and in specifically here that document had to be CREATED to support that theory in a court of law.


I have no agenda, other than learning what is closest to verifiable facts. Obama lost me in fall, 2008, when he voted with republicans to renew some provision of Bush era repressive surveillance I can't fully recall now. I labeled him a tyrant, after the droning of Al-Awaki and soon after, his son, as I described in one of the two posts I described above.

Ok-- so what are the verifiable facts that support the theory that the Trump campaign, and probably Trump himself, conspired with Russia to hack the DNC?

All of this stuff involving Page, or Flynn or Stone flow from this.

Perhaps if Covington or Flynn had requested the actual transcripts as to what Flynn actually said they might have seen the actual evidence against him.

Arising out of the investigation of the Durham investigation. Durham merely prosecuted some dude that a completely different dude in a completely different investigation publicly revealed a year earlier.

That wording aside...by your definition, Durham could have arrested literally anybody in the country as the result of any other investigation and you would have "won the bet." Durham could have arrested your mom for unpaid parking tickets and you would have "won the bet."

Ha ha. No.

All your dishonesty to avoid a 30 day signature? :roll:

A dozen GRU officers have been charged ...... Mueller indicts 12 Russian intelligence officers for email hacking-related charges - Vox ....Seth Rich's name is not among theirs.

Consider that your certainty rewards people close to Trump, and certainly Trump himself, have earned your trust, despite their lies.
You, and others Trump has affected with his defense (obstruction) encourage Trump to continue to marginalize the investigators and their agencies.

So, you've confirmed to Trump that he can repetitively recite false scenarios and you'll thank him.

Consciousness of guilt displayed as if on a stadium scoreboard, including Trump's tireless obstruction of all investigation, leaving one to admit Trump's obstruction has always seemed to reward him, but that will reverse when Presidential Historians write about Trump.

KT Macfarland revised her 302, three times .... a lot of detail related to Flynn, as well.:

The Public Record Claims that Flynn Had No Permission from Trump to Undermine US Policy in Calling Kislyak | emptywheel
The Public Record Claims that Flynn Had No Permission from Trump to Undermine US Policy in Calling Kislyak
May 12, 2020- by emptywheel

In the last several days, part time Director of National Intelligence and full time Twitter troll Ric Grennell declassified the names of people who unmasked Mike Flynn’s name in call transcripts with Sergey Kislyak. The public record already shows the FBI did so after they discovered his calls explained why Russia had not responded as expected after Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia on December 28, 2016.

The press has, predictably, chased this issue as a matter of partisan game, demonstrating utter disinterest in how obviously they are being chumps in a political ploy......

Who is behind this lawyer, Jack? Hillary? Podesta? Comey? We aren't figuring this out for you.
