Latest Flynn discovery docs revealed in Sidney Powell supplemental filing July 10, 2020, “additional Brady violations and even more reasons
requiring dismissal of the case against General Flynn”

“her client was “totally set up” because he threatened to expose wrongdoing by top intelligence officials in the Obama administration.

“He was going to audit the intel agencies because he knew about the billions Brennan and company were running off the books,” Powell said, referring to former CIA Director John Brennan.”…Sidney Powell, Vickie McKenna Show

“Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they call ‘The Resistance’ and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch.” …Attorney General Barr

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October

 

From the Second Supplement in Support of Agreed Dismissal

filed by Attorney Sidney Powell July 10, 2020.

“Mr. Jensen’s review has unearthed additional exculpatory evidence.
Accordingly, as dismissal has not yet been granted and General Flynn must establish and preserve the record, General Flynn provided his first supplement seasonably on June 24, 2020,ECF No. 231, and now files this Second Supplement.

On July 7, 2020, the Government produced to General Flynn 14-pages of
additional evidence, demonstrating (i) his innocence; (ii) the absence of any crime; (iii) government misconduct in the investigation of General Flynn; and (iv) prosecutorial misconduct in the suppression of evidence favorable to the defense in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) and this Court’s Brady order. These documents both corroborate information provided by others previously and provide new information known to at least ten people at the highest levels of the Department of Justice and the FBI. This evidence negates multiple essential elements required for the prosecution of a false statement offense.

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. In short, there was no crime for many
reasons. These documents were known to exist at the highest levels of the Justice
Department and by Special Counsel, yet they were hidden from the defense for three years.”

From Just The News July 9, 2020.

“Judge in Flynn cases now want full court to decide whether to dismiss case, filed court docs show”

“Attorneys for the federal judge overseeing the Michael Flynn case filed court documents Thursday requesting a full panel of judges be allowed to hear briefings and arguments on a pending motion to dismiss the U.S. government’s case against the former national security adviser. The attorneys argue the three-member panel of judges that denied the effort “marks a dramatic break from precedent that threatens the orderly administration of justice.”

In the 68-page document filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, attorneys for Judge Emmet Sullivan argue three main points: that the 2-1 majority rule by the panel in June undermined the court’s “consistent interpretation” of standards that would forcing the district court to grant a motion it had not yet resolved; the panel undercut Supreme and Circuit court precedent on such matters, and thirdly, that the panel contravened Supreme Court and Circuit precedent in precluding the district court from appointing an amicus and scheduling a hearing. ”

Obamagate: Peter Strzok’s January 2017 notes implicate Obama and Biden?, Obama directed that ‘the right people’ investigate General Flynn

Posted on June 25, 2020 | 35 comments

Obamagate: Peter Strzok’s January 2017 notes implicate Obama and Biden?, Obama directed that ‘the right people’ investigate General Flynn

“Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they call ‘The Resistance’ and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch.” …Attorney General Barr

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October

“According to Strzok’s notes, it appears that Vice President Biden personally raised the idea of the Logan Act. That became an admitted pretext to investigate General Flynn,”…Attorney Sidney Powell

 

Peter Strzok’s January 2017 notes, presented in discovery recently, were made public in court on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.

From John Solomon at Just The News.

“Strzok’s newly discovered FBI notes deliver jolt to ‘Obamagate’ evidence

James Comey had no business meeting with Obama White House on Flynn case, former FBI executive says.

The belated discovery of disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok’s January 2017 notes raises troubling new questions about whether President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were coordinating efforts during their final days in office to investigate Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn — even as the FBI wanted to shut down the case.

Investigators will need to secure testimony from Strzok, fired two years ago from the FBI, to be certain of the exact meaning and intent of his one paragraph of notes, which were made public in court on Wednesday.

But they appear to illuminate an extraordinary high-level effort by outgoing Obama-era officials during the first weekend of January to find a way to sustain a counterintelligence investigation of Flynn in the absence of any evidence of wrongdoing.

The Justice Department says the notes were written between Jan. 3-5, 2017, the very weekend the FBI agent who had investigated Flynn’s ties to Russia for five months recommended the case be closed because there was “no derogatory” evidence that he committed a crime or posed a counterintelligence threat. FBI supervisors overruled the agent’s recommendation.”

“Sidney Powell, Flynn’s lawyer, laid out the potential ramifications of the notes in a court filing on Wednesday, calling the new evidence “stunning and exculpatory.”

“Mr. Obama himself directed that ‘the right people’ investigate General Flynn. This caused former FBI Director Comey to acknowledge the obvious: General Flynn’s phone calls with Ambassador Kislyak ‘appear legit,’” Powell argued in her new motion.

“According to Strzok’s notes, it appears that Vice President Biden personally raised the idea of the Logan Act. That became an admitted pretext to investigate General Flynn,” she added.”

From John Solomon at Just The News.

“Breaking: DOJ reveals discovery of new Strzok notes in Flynn case

Prosecutors reveal they recently found new notes from the lead investigator in the Russia case that are exculpatory to Flynn.

In the latest twist, the Justice Department disclosed to a federal court Tuesday it has located a new page of notes from Peter Strzok, the former lead FBI agent in the Russia collusion investigation, that are exculpatory to former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin informed U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of the discovery in a midday court filing, revealing the single page of notes were believed to have been taken by Strzok during the critical juncture of early January 2017 when FBI agents recommended shutting down their investigation of Flynn only to be overruled by FBI superiors.

“This page of notes was taken by former Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok. While the page itself is undated; we believe that the notes were taken in early January 2017, possibly between January 3 and January 5,” Sherwin wrote in the motion. The prosecutor said it was possible more documents may be produced to the court.

The page of notes were not made public with the filing because they are currently subject to a protective order.”

From the

GENERAL FLYNN’S BRIEF
IN OPPOSITION TO AMICUS

Filed June 17, 2020 by Attorney Sidney Powell.

“Counsel for General Michael Flynn files this brief to comply with this court’s
order of May 19, 2020. However, we hereby preserve all objections briefed in our
Petition for Writ of Mandamus and all prior filings in this court.1 This court exceeded its authority under the Constitution to solicit amici and to appoint an amicus. That chosen amicus has now engaged in a flagrant personal and partisan assault on General Flynn, Attorney General Barr, and the President of the United States.

This court’s friend simply ignores the indisputable, newly-produced evidence
proving that it is General Flynn who was singled out for a baseless, politically
motivated investigation and prosecution. ECF No. 198. In a rarely-mentioned text message the Government has never produced to General Flynn,2 FBI Agent Strzok reveals that [Bill] Priestap “doesn’t want Clapper giving CR cuts [transcripts on Crossfire Razor, the codename for the Flynn operation] to [the Obama] WH. All political, just shows our hand and potentially makes enemies.” (emphasis added). After Lisa Page’s reminder about including it already in the “doc on fri,” Strzok revealed the ultimate problem: “should we[?], particularly to the entirety of the lame duck usic [United States intelligence community] with partisan axes to grind.” (emphasis added).

The irony and sheer duplicity of Amicus’s accusations against the Justice
Department now—which is finally exposing the truth—is stunning. Amicus’s filing is a “wrap-up smear.” It is an affront to the Rule of Law and a raging insult to the citizens of this country who see the abject corruption in this assassination by political prosecution of General Flynn. This court exuviated any appearance of neutrality when it unlawfully appointed Amicus as its own adversary to make these scurrilous arguments.”

Attorney John Gleeson for Judge Sullivan Devils Advocate for which devils?, Michael Flynn case, Judge Sullivan cannot charge Flynn with perjury, Deep state desperate

Posted on June 15, 2020 | 30 comments

Attorney John Gleeson for Judge Sullivan Devils Advocate for which devils?, Michael Flynn case, Judge Sullivan cannot charge Flynn with perjury, Deep state desperate

“Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they call ‘The Resistance’ and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch.” …Attorney General Barr

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October

The Deep State is getting desperate.

They have been exposed in the General Michael Flynn persecution and are about to be indicted by the Justice Dept.

Attorney John Gleeson is representing Judge Emmet Sullivan (and God only knows what other devils of the deep state).

From his Amicus brief filed June 10, 2020.

“B. This Court Should Punish the Defendant’s Perjury by Factoring It into the
Sentence for the False Statements Offense to Which He Has Pleaded Guilty

As set forth above, there is more than sufficient evidence in the record to support theissuance of an Order to Show Cause why Flynn’s false statements do not constitute criminal contempt. That the Court possesses such authority, however, does not mean that the interests of justice require the Court to wield it. Given the case’s posture, with the defendant having entered a guilty plea and awaiting sentencing, the better course is the course typically taken: to decline to
issue an Order to Show Cause and consider the contemptuous conduct in sentencing on the offense of conviction.

This Court has appropriately indicated that it wishes to treat this defendant and this case like any other. See e.g., ECF No. 94 at 7. In cases like these, involving plea-related perjury, courts typically vindicate the interests of the judicial branch by factoring a defendant’s contemptuous conduct into the sentence imposed on the offense of conviction,70 not by holding the defendant in criminal contempt for perjury.71 There is much to be gained—for the judicial system and for our country—by treating the defendant like any other defendant, and this case
like any other case, to the greatest extent possible.

The Department of Justice has a solemn responsibility to prosecute this case—like every other case—without fear or favor and, to quote the Department’s motto, solely “on behalf of justice.” It has abdicated that responsibility through a gross abuse of prosecutorial power, attempting to provide special treatment to a favored friend and political ally of the President of the United States. It has treated the case like no other, and in doing so has undermined the
public’s confidence in the rule of law. I respectfully suggest that the best response to Flynn’s perjury is not to respond in kind. Ordering a defendant to show cause why he should not be held in contempt based on a perjurious effort to withdraw a guilty plea is not what judges typically do. To help restore confidence in the integrity of the judicial process, the Court should return
regularity to that process. And the Court can best do that by denying the government’s Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss, adjudicating any pending motions, proceeding to sentencing, and factoring the defendant’s contemptuous conduct into the appropriate punishment.”

General Flynn was never charged with perjury.

His entire prosecution persecution was based on lies and executed illegally.

From Attorney Leslie McAdoo Gordon.

“Sullivan Lacks Authority to Charge Flynn with Perjury

A court issues a show-cause order for contempt as a prelude to possibly punishing a person for alleged misconduct. It describes the misconduct and requires the person to defend against that allegation. It is similar to an indictment except the court, rather than a prosecutor, initiates it. The person receiving a show-cause order must appear and defend the accusation but has certain due process rights, such as the right to notice, the right to counsel, and the right to present a defense.

Sullivan has not yet issued a show-cause order to Flynn, but he has directed Gleeson to advise him as to whether he should do so. The answer is absolutely not, because Sullivan lacks the authority to sanction Flynn for perjury.

Under the separation of powers established by the Constitution, criminal charges are brought by the executive branch and adjudicated by the judiciary. Thus, any actual prosecution of Flynn under federal statutes for perjury would have to be brought by the Department of Justice.”

She graduated cum laude from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1996, and is licensed to practice law in Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and numerous federal trial and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

From the

BRIEF FOR THE UNITED STATES

June 1, 2020.

US v Michael Flynn.

“The Constitution vests in the Executive Branch the power to decide
when—and when not—to prosecute potential crimes. Exercising that Article II
power here, the Executive filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, and
petitioner consented. Despite that exercise of prosecutorial discretion, and the
lack of any remaining Article III controversy between the parties, the district
court failed to grant the motion and bring the case to a close. It instead
appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissal and to consider additional
criminal charges.

This Court should issue a writ of mandamus compelling dismissal.
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a) provides that “[t]he government may,
with leave of court, dismiss an indictment.” That language does not authorize
a court to stand in the way of a dismissal the defendant does not oppose, and
any other reading of the Rule would violate both Article II and Article III.
Nor, under the circumstances of this case, may the district court assume the role
of prosecutor and initiate criminal charges of its own. Instead of inviting further
proceedings, the court should have granted the government’s motion to dismiss.
And given the court’s infringement on the Executive’s performance of its
constitutional duties, a writ of mandamus is appropriate, as this Court held in
similar circumstances in United States v. Fokker Services B.V., 818 F.3d 733
(D.C. Cir. 2016).”

From the

BRIEF OF FEDERAL PRACTITIONERS AS AMICI CURIAE

filed by Trey Gowdy May 28, 2020.

“INTEREST OF AMICI CURIAE
Amici curiae are a bipartisan group of attorneys with extensive experience in
the federal court system, including many who practice criminal law in this and
other federal courts. Some were prosecutors, government attorneys, or judges.
They have an interest in: (1) the proper application of Fed.R.Crim.P 48 in light of
Separation of Powers principles, and (2) the potential triggering of a contempt
proceeding for perjury in cases where a client moves to withdraw a guilty plea or
in cases, civil or criminal, where a client provides testimony which a court may
consider to be false.

“ARGUMENT
I. THE COURT LACKS DISCRETION TO DENY A RULE 48 MOTION
TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT CONSENTS
The issue presented in this case is whether the court has discretion to deny a
motion to dismiss to which the defendant consents, as Gen. Flynn has done here.
The answer is no. Rule 48 must be construed in light of the Constitutional
separation of powers. The D.C. Circuit has done so and has concluded that “the
‘leave of court’ authority gives no power to a district court to deny a prosecutor’s
Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss charges based on a disagreement with the
prosecution’s exercise of charging authority.” U.S. v. Fokker Services B.V., 818
F.3d 733, 742 (D.C. Cir. 2016).

“Rule 48 provides that “[t]he government may, with leave of court, dismiss
an indictment, information, or complaint.” “The words ‘leave of court’ were
inserted in Rule 48(a) without explanation.” Rinaldi v. United States, 434 U.S. 22, 29 n. 15 (1977).3”

“A. The constitutional separation of powers precludes a court from
overriding a prosecutor’s decision to dismiss a prosecution.
Since its 1977 decision in Rinaldi, the Supreme Court has ruled that “an
agency’s decision not to prosecute or enforce, whether through civil or criminal
process, is a decision generally committed to an agency’s absolute discretion.”
Heckler v. Chaney, 470 U.S. 821, 831 (1985). The Court has cautioned that “the
decision to prosecute is particularly ill-suited to judicial review. Such factors as the strength of the case, the prosecution’s general deterrence value, the Government’s enforcement priorities, and the case’s relationship to the Government’s overall enforcement plan are not readily susceptible to the kind of analysis the courts are competent to undertake.” Wayte v. United States, 470 U.S. 598, 607 (1985).
These decisions effectively overrule Cowan and Ammidown.”

Joe Biden named as accused perpetrator in Ukraine court complaint, Biden pressure on President Petro Poroshenko to fire chief prosecutor Victor Shokin

Joe Biden named as accused perpetrator in Ukraine court complaint, Biden pressure on President Petro Poroshenko to fire chief prosecutor Victor Shokin

“Joe Biden “Outraged We Seized Burisma Assets”, Could No Longer Pay His Son…”…Former Ukraine Prosecutor Shokin

“One of the downstream consequences of Rudy Giuliani investigating the Ukraine corruption and money laundering operation to U.S. officials is that it ends up catching Senator Graham.”…Conservative Treehouse

“I discovered a pattern of corruption that the Washington press covered up for years! I’m also going to bring out a massive pay-for-play scheme under the Obama Administration that will devastate the Democrat Party. Do you honestly think I’m intimidated?”…Rudy Giuliani,

 

From John Solomon May 19, 2020.

“Ukraine judge orders Joe Biden be listed as alleged perpetrator of crime in prosecutor’s firing”

“The infamous story of Joe Biden’s effort to force the firing of Ukraine’s chief prosecutor in 2016 has taken a new legal twist in Kiev, just as the former vice president is sewing up the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination in America.

In Kiev late last month, District Court Judge S. V. Vovk ordered the country’s law enforcement services to formally list the fired prosecutor, Victor Shokin, as the victim of an alleged crime by the former U.S. vice president, according to an official English translation of the ruling obtained by Just the News.

The court had previously ordered the Prosecutor General’s Office and the State Bureau of Investigations in February to investigate Shokin’s claim that he was fired in spring 2016 under pressure from Biden because he was investigating Burisma Holdings, the natural gas company where Biden’s son Hunter worked.

The court ruled then that there was adequate evidence to investigate Shokin’s claim that Biden’s pressure on then-President Petro Poroshenko, including a threat to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, amounted to unlawful interference in Shokin’s work as Ukraine’s chief prosecutor.

But when law enforcement agencies opened the probe they refused to name Biden as the alleged perpetrator of the crime, instead listing the potential defendant as an unnamed American.

Vovk ruled that anonymous listing was improper and ordered the law enforcement agencies to formally name Biden as the accused perpetrator.”
