Sidney Powell: sealed docs in General Flynn case released April 28-29, Jocelyn Ballantine Asst U.S. Attorney advised, Tucker Carlson: FBI legal counsel James Baker notes

“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

And I’ve now found a witness who says the original 302 did in fact say that Flynn was honest with the agents.”...Attorney Sidney Powell

“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 23, 2019

 

From The Conservative Treehouse.

“Fox News host Tucker Carlson provided some additional insight into the Flynn documents that were filed with the court last Friday noting the potential for the documents to be unsealed tomorrow.  According to an earlier report by Maria Bartiromo the documents relate to notes taken by former FBI legal counsel James Baker; and surround the events that encompassed the FBI interview of General Flynn in January 2017.

In a supplement to the defense motion to dismiss [pdf here] we discover some of the evidence of prosecutorial misconduct turned over by the DOJ to the Flynn defense. Specifically Lt. General Michael Flynn’s plea was based on: (1) a framing by the FBI; and (2) a threat against Michael Flynn Jr. if his father didn’t sign the plea.

If the reports are accurate it is very likely Judge Sullivan will allow the plea to be removed.  If the documents are as strong as outlined the entire case could be dismissed.

Because the exhibits had to be filed under seal, they are heavily redacted; however, Flynn’s defense counsel, Sidney Powell, has asked the court to release & unseal the full content of the exhibits so the world can see the coercion behind the corrupt plea agreement.

The Mueller prosecution team lead by Brandon Van Grack put the agreement and threat in writing, but they also made a deal with the former defense team to hide the terms in an effort to cover-up their misconduct. Coercion to force a plea is unethical and unlawful.”

Attorney Sidney Powell was interviewed on the Hannity Show.

Powell stated that Jocelyn Ballantine, Assistant U.S. Attorney, had given them a heads up that the sealed documents were being worked on for release Tuesday or Wednesday, April 28 or 29.

Attorney Sidney Powell filed the following April 24, 2020.

“On January 29, 2020, Michael T. Flynn (“Mr. Flynn”) submitted his Motion to Dismiss for Egregious Government Misconduct and in the Interest of Justice. ECF No. 162. Mr. Flynn now files this brief Supplement to his Motion to Dismiss for Government Misconduct. This afternoon, the government produced to Mr. Flynn stunning Brady evidence that proves Mr. Flynn’s allegations of having been deliberately set up and framed by corrupt agents at the top of the FBI.
It also defeats any argument that the interview of Mr. Flynn on January 24, 2017 was material to any “investigation.” The government has deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution—knowing there was no crime by Mr. Flynn.

In addition, Mr. Flynn’s counsel has found further evidence of misconduct by Mr. Van Grack specifically. Not only did he make baseless threats to indict Michael G. Flynn, he made a side deal not to prosecute Michael G. Flynn as a material term of the plea agreement, but he required that it be kept secret between himself and the Covington attorneys expressly to avoid the
requirement of Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972). Exs. 1, 2.

Since August 2016 at the latest, partisan FBI and DOJ leaders conspired to destroy Mr. Flynn. These documents show in their own handwriting and emails that they intended either to create an offense they could prosecute or at least get him fired. Then came the incredible malfeasance of Mr. Van Grack’s and the SCO’s prosecution despite their knowledge there was no crime by Mr. Flynn. All this new evidence, and the government has advised there is more to come,
proves that the crimes were committed by the FBI officials and then the prosecutors. The government’s misconduct in this case is beyond shocking and reprehensible. It mandates dismissal.”

***  Update See Below   ***

From Citizen Wells April 10, 2020.

“Covington & Burling LLP (“Covington”) submits this Supplemental Notice to provide information to the Court about the transfer of the case file to successor counsel.”

“In reviewing materials in response to the Court’s March 6, 2020 Order (Doc. 174) to respond to Mr. Flynn’s specific allegations in his Supplemental Motion to Withdraw Plea of Guilty (Doc. 160), however, we have found emails and two pages of handwritten notes that were not previously transferred to successor counsel. With respect to the emails, this appears to have resulted from errors in the process of collecting and searching electronic materials that were not contained in the working case file. The two pages of notes appear to have been inadvertently missed during the file transfer process. Today, we made a supplemental transfer to Mr. Flynn’s current counsel of the emails and notes identified to date as not having been transferred previously. We are in the process of working with our information technology personnel, as
expeditiously as possible, to determine what other materials were not captured by the prior electronic searches and to collect and transfer them promptly to Mr. Flynn’s current counsel. We will apprise the Court when this is completed and will provide any further information that the Court requires.”

Today April 24, 2020 we learn.

The United States of America, by and through the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, files this status report. On February 27, 2020, the Court ordered the parties to file a joint proposed order setting forth the terms of the waiver of the attorney-client privilege and the authorization of disclosure of information with respect to Mr. Flynn’s ineffective assistance of counsel claims by no later than 12:00 PM on March 6, 2020. On March 6, the parties filed a Joint
Stipulation and submitted a joint proposed Order, consistent with the District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.6, proposing that Covington and Burling, LLP (“Covington”) be ordered to take all actions reasonably necessary to respond to defendant Flynn’s specific allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel. The Court issued this Order on the afternoon of March 6, 2020. On April 3, 2020, the Court ordered the government to provide a status report
informing the Court of the status of the production from Covington & Burling LLP or, if feasible, proposing a briefing schedule, by no later than 12 p.m. on April 24, 2020.

As required by the Court’s Order of March 6, Covington has provided to the government five timely and substantial productions of documents “reasonably necessary” to respond to the “specific allegations” made by the defendant in his motions to withdraw his plea. On April 23, 2020, Covington provided the government with signed declarations from four Covington attorneys. The government promptly produced these declarations to defense counsel; in total, the declarations comprise more than 100 pages of text and more than 500 pages of partly-redacted exhibits.1

The declarations are detailed, and span numerous topics that arose during Covington’s 30-month representation of Mr. Flynn. The government needs additional time to review these declarations and to determine whether it needs to conduct any interviews of Covington personnel or to seek additional declarations or supporting documents. Should any issues arise that the government and Covington are unable to resolve, the government will file a motion with the Court,along with any relevant declarations and exhibits, for resolution.

In order to allow the government adequate time to review the declarations and exhibits that have been produced by Covington and to conduct any additional inquiries, the government respectfully asks this Court to allow the government two additional weeks to provide a further status update and, if feasible, a proposed briefing schedule.

Wherefore the government asks this Court to order it to provide a further status update and, if feasible, a proposed briefing schedule, no later than 12 p.m. on May 8, 2020.”

*** Update 6:00 PM  ***

Attorney Sidney Powell filed the following today April 24, 2020.

“SUPPLEMENT TO MR. FLYNN’S MOTION TO DISMISS
FOR EGREGIOUS GOVERNMENT MISCONDUCT

On January 29, 2020, Michael T. Flynn (“Mr. Flynn”) submitted his Motion to Dismiss for Egregious Government Misconduct and in the Interest of Justice. ECF No. 162. Mr. Flynn now files this brief Supplement to his Motion to Dismiss for Government Misconduct. This afternoon, the government produced to Mr. Flynn stunning Brady evidence that proves Mr. Flynn’s allegations of having been deliberately set up and framed by corrupt agents at the top of the FBI.
It also defeats any argument that the interview of Mr. Flynn on January 24, 2017 was material to any “investigation.” The government has deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution—knowing there was no crime by Mr. Flynn.

In addition, Mr. Flynn’s counsel has found further evidence of misconduct by Mr. Van Grack specifically. Not only did he make baseless threats to indict Michael G. Flynn, he made a side deal not to prosecute Michael G. Flynn as a material term of the plea agreement, but he required that it be kept secret between himself and the Covington attorneys expressly to avoid the
requirement of Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972). Exs. 1, 2.

Since August 2016 at the latest, partisan FBI and DOJ leaders conspired to destroy Mr. Flynn. These documents show in their own handwriting and emails that they intended either to create an offense they could prosecute or at least get him fired. Then came the incredible malfeasance of Mr. Van Grack’s and the SCO’s prosecution despite their knowledge there was no crime by Mr. Flynn. All this new evidence, and the government has advised there is more to come,
proves that the crimes were committed by the FBI officials and then the prosecutors. The government’s misconduct in this case is beyond shocking and reprehensible. It mandates dismissal.

Furthermore, this Court should order the government immediately to provide the defense with unredacted copies of the documents in Exhibit 3, filed under seal. Those documents were
filed under seal solely in an abundance of caution because the government produced them under the protective order, and we request that they be unsealed. Consequently, Mr. Flynn is filing Exhibit 3 to this Supplement contemporaneously and asks that the Court promptly unseal the document.

This case is a shameful blight on the American justice system. “The first duties of the officers of the law are to prevent, not to punish crime. It is not their duty to incite to and create crime for the sole purpose of prosecuting and punishing it. . . [I]t is unconscionable, contrary to public policy, and to the established law of the land to punish a man for the commission of an offense of the like of which he had never been guilty, either in thought or in deed, and evidently never would have been guilty of if the officers of the law had not inspired, incited, persuaded, and
lured him to attempt to commit it.” Sorrells v. United States, 287 U.S. 435, 444-45 (1932) (quoting Butts v. United States, 273 F. 35, 38 (8th Cir. 1921)).

For the reasons above, and those previously briefed, this Court must dismiss this concocted prosecution of General Flynn in full recognition of the travesty of justice that it is.”

From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v.
MICHAEL T. FLYNN

COVINGTON & BURLING LLP’S SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE
REGARDING TRANSFER OF CASE FILE TO SUCCESSOR COUNSEL:

“Covington & Burling LLP (“Covington”) submits this Supplemental Notice to provide information to the Court about the transfer of the case file to successor counsel. On July 25, 2019, Covington & Burling LLP filed a Notice Regarding Transfer of Case File to Defendant’s New Counsel (Doc. 99). That Notice informed the Court that Covington had transferred its working case file in this case to new counsel within days of the termination of its representation
of Mr. Flynn, and that we had then turned to identifying, collecting and transferring a large body of emails, text messages, handwritten notes, time records, voicemails, hard copy documents, and other records that were not maintained in that working case file during the ordinary course of
business. Having finished that process, we stated that “the firm’s transfer of its case file to General Flynn’s new counsel is now complete.”

In reviewing materials in response to the Court’s March 6, 2020 Order (Doc. 174) to respond to Mr. Flynn’s specific allegations in his Supplemental Motion to Withdraw Plea of Guilty (Doc. 160), however, we have found emails and two pages of handwritten notes that were not previously transferred to successor counsel. With respect to the emails, this appears to have resulted from errors in the process of collecting and searching electronic materials that were not contained in the working case file. The two pages of notes appear to have been inadvertently missed during the file transfer process. Today, we made a supplemental transfer to Mr. Flynn’s current counsel of the emails and notes identified to date as not having been transferred previously. We are in the process of working with our information technology personnel, as
expeditiously as possible, to determine what other materials were not captured by the prior electronic searches and to collect and transfer them promptly to Mr. Flynn’s current counsel. We will apprise the Court when this is completed and will provide any further information that the Court requires.”

https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592.177.0.pdf

From Sara Carter:

“Flynn’s new defense team is combing through the new trove of documents, suggesting that the appropriate action by the DOJ would be to dismiss Flynn’s case entirely based on egregious government misconduct.

“It’s an interesting new production of documents from the Flynn file. It will be even more interesting to see what the firm has to say about them. We are really looking forward to a hearing in court on all the issues that will exonerate General Flynn,” said Powell, who spoke to SaraACarter.com.

“Meanwhile, the government still refuses to produce the original 302 and the DOJ memo of January 30, 2017 that exonerated him of any Russia issue, and it still refuses to dismiss the case because of the egregious government misconduct from the inception of this persecution—including slipping an FBI Agent secretly into a presidential briefing in August 2016—before the election—to collect information on nominee Trump and General Flynn,” she added. “The country and Justice would be best served if the DOJ would take responsibility for these outrageous actions and the deliberate attempted destruction of an honorable man. The agents who interviewed him knew he was honest with them.  They later altered the 302 until it was approved by Andrew McCabe.”

Last week, a status report was filed by prosecutors to delay the anticipated April 3 status report hearing to April 24. Justice Department prosecutors contend that the documents provided by Flynn’s former legal counsel “are voluminous, span numerous topics that arose during Covington’s 30-month representation of Mr. Flynn , and include many pages of sometimes difficult-to-decipher handwritten notes.””

From Fox News April 10, 2020.

“AG William Barr on the Russia investigation: ‘There’s something far more troubling here’

The Russia investigation into President Trump‘s 2016 campaign was “one of the greatest travesties in American history,” Attorney General William Barr said Thursday during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.”

Barr said he has seen troubling signs from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s ongoing probe into the origins of the two-year probe, which resulted in no allegations of wrongdoing against the president.

“My own view is that the evidence shows that we’re not dealing with just the mistakes or sloppiness,” Barr told host Laura Ingraham. “There was something far more troubling here. We’re going to get to the bottom of it. And if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted.”

Trump “has every right to be frustrated” by the investigation, Barr added.

“What happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history — without any basis,” Barr said. “They started this investigation of his campaign. And even more concerning, actually, is what happened after the campaign. A whole pattern of events while he was president … to sabotage the presidency … or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency.””

From The Gateway Pundit April 3, 2020.

“Former DOJ Assistant US Attorney Admits FBI Examined Seth Rich’s Computer and She Met with FBI and Mueller Gang But No 302 Has Been Provided to Date

More evidence confirms more FBI and Mueller gang lies and cover ups.  This time a Deep State Anti-Trump former Assistant US Attorney claimed under oath that the FBI did examine Seth Rich’s computer and that she met with an FBI Agent and prosecutor from the Mueller gang.  This indicates the meeting should have been recorded in a form 302 but the FBI continues to claim no records related to Seth Rich are available!

Previously we reported that after getting caught lying to the Courts and claiming there were no documents related to Seth Rich, emails between FBI Deep State lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were uncovered by Judicial Watch with the title “Seth Rich” .

Attorney Ty Clevenger uncovered that the former Assistant US Attorney related to the case admitted that Rich’s computer was inspected by the FBI and that there would be records related to this investigation.  She now has been deposed and her comments are shocking, indicating she met with both the FBI and the Mueller gang!

Earlier this week Clevenger filed his request again asking for all information related to the Seth Rich case. This was based on recent testimony from former Assistant US Attorney Deborah Sines:”

12 A. Yes.
13 Q. Did the MPD have any assistance from other
14 agencies in examining the laptop?
15 A. I was not authorized to say what MPD did. I
16 should not have said that. That is the law enforcement
17 privilege. It’s an open case. I’m not allowed to
18 answer anything else other than did I say it and was it
19 true. I was not authorized to say that.
20 Q. Do you know whether Aaron Rich disclosed all
21 of his brother’s e-mail accounts during the
22 investigation?
23 A. I’m not allowed to answer that.
24 Q. On page 54 of the transcript, it quotes you
25 as saying that there was more than one person that was

3 Q. Did you make that statement?
4 A. What — what page is that?
5 Q. Okay. 54.

10 A. I’ve got it. I see it.
11 Q. Okay. Was that —
12 A. Hold on.
13 Q. Is that —
14 A. Let — let me read it.
15 Q. Sure.
16 A. I said it. That’s the truth.
17 Q. Okay. Can you say why you believe it was
18 more than one person?
19 A. I wish I could. From my investigation. From
20 the evidence.
21 Q. Okay.
22 A. I really do wish I could answer your
23 question.
24 Q. I understand. You said in the interview that
25 you had to track down every lead. Did you or anyone

1 from your investigative team attempt to contact
2 WikiLeaks?
3 A. Oh, I’m not allowed to answer that.
4 Q. And I understand you may not be able to
5 answer these, but I — I have to get them on the record.
6 A. I understand. I understand.
7 Q. Did you or anyone from your team attempt to

investigation (“December 2019 FISA Report”).1 As detailed in our report,
among other things, we identified fundamental and serious errors in the
agents’ conduct of the FBI’s factual accuracy review procedures (“Woods
Procedures”) with regard to all four FISA applications. We found, for example,
numerous instances where the Woods File did not include supporting
documentation for factual assertions contained in the FISA applications, as
required by FBI policy. Additionally, we determined that the Woods File did not
contain, as also required by FBI policy, documentation from the Confidential
Human Source’s (CHS) handling agent stating that the handling agent had
reviewed the facts presented in the FISA application regarding the CHS’s
reliability and background, and that the facts presented were accurate. We
further found that the FBI had failed to follow its policies for re-verifying factual assertions made in the initial FISA application that were also included in the
three FISA renewal applications.

As a result of these findings, in December 2019, my office initiated an
audit to examine more broadly the FBI’s execution of, and compliance with, its
Woods Procedures relating to U.S. Persons covering the period from October 2014
to September 2019. As an initial step in our audit, over the past 2 months, we
visited 8 FBI field offices of varying sizes and reviewed a judgmentally selected
sample of 29 applications relating to U.S. Persons and involving both
counterintelligence and counterterrorism investigations. This sample was
selected from a dataset provided by the FBI that contained more than
700 applications relating to U.S. Persons submitted by those 8 field offices over
a 5-year period. The proportion of counterintelligence and counterterrorism
applications within our sample roughly models the ratio of the case types
within that total of FBI FISA applications. Our initial review of these
applications has consisted solely of determining whether the contents of the
FBI’s Woods File supported statements of fact in the associated FISA
application; our review did not seek to determine whether support existed
elsewhere for the factual assertion in the FISA application (such as in the case
file), or if relevant information had been omitted from the application. For all of
the FISA applications that we have reviewed to date, the period of courtauthorized surveillance had been completed and no such surveillance was
active at the time of our review.”

“As a result of our audit work to date and as described below, we do not
have confidence that the FBI has executed its Woods Procedures in compliance
with FBI policy. Specifically, the Woods Procedures mandate compiling
supporting documentation for each fact in the FISA application. Adherence to
the Woods Procedures should result in such documentation as a means toward
achievement of the FBI’s policy that FISA applications be “scrupulously
accurate.” Our lack of confidence that the Woods Procedures are working as
intended stems primarily from the fact that: (1) we could not review original
Woods Files for 4 of the 29 selected FISA applications because the FBI has not been able to locate them and, in 3 of these instances, did not know if they ever
existed; (2) our testing of FISA applications to the associated Woods Files
identified apparent errors or inadequately supported facts in all of the
25 applications we reviewed, and interviews to date with available agents or
supervisors in field offices generally have confirmed the issues we identified;
(3) existing FBI and NSD oversight mechanisms have also identified deficiencies
in documentary support and application accuracy that are similar to those that
we have observed to date; and (4) FBI and NSD officials we interviewed
indicated to us that there were no efforts by the FBI to use existing FBI and
NSD oversight mechanisms to perform comprehensive, strategic assessments
of the efficacy of the Woods Procedures or FISA accuracy, to include identifying
the need for enhancements to training and improvements in the process, or
increased accountability measures.”

Deborah Sines deposition from March 20, 2020 testimony re FBI Seth Rich investigation, Contradicts affidavit testimony of Section Chief David M. Hardy

Posted on March 31, 2020 | 3 comments

Deborah Sines deposition from March 20, 2020 testimony re FBI Seth Rich investigation, Contradicts affidavit testimony of Section Chief David M. Hardy

And I’ve now found a witness who says the original 302 did in fact say that Flynn was honest with the agents.”...Attorney Sidney Powell

“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 23, 2019

“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those
records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019

 

From Attorney Ty Clevenger in Clevenger v US Justice Dept. filed March 29, 2020.

“NOW COMES the Plaintiff, Ty Clevenger, giving notice to the Court as follows:
The Plaintiff, acting in his capacity as counsel for Edward Butowsky in Butowsky v. Folkenflik, et al., Case No. 4:18-CV-00442 (E.D.Tex.), deposed former Asst. U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines on March 20, 2020. The Court may recall that Ms. Sines was the prosecutor assigned to the Seth Rich murder case, and she told journalist Michael Isikoff during an interview last year that the FBI investigated attempts to hack into Mr. Rich’s electronic accounts. See PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO ACCEPT SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE AND PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO PERMIT DISCOVERY 2-3 (Doc. No. 44)(quoting excerpt of interview). During the same interview, Mr. Isikoff stated that the FBI had examined Seth Rich’s computer. Id. In her March 20, 2020 testimony, Ms. Sines confirmed that her statements about the FBI investigation were true.1
She further confirmed that the FBI had examined Mr. Rich’s computer, as Mr. Isikoff said. Finally, Ms. Sines testified that the FBI should have email communications regarding the foregoing activities.

Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy. See October 3, 2018 DECLARATION OF DAVID M. HARDY (Doc. No. 16-1)
and July 29, 2019 SECOND DECLARATION OF DAVID M. HARDY (attached in hard-copy form to the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment). As soon as the Plaintiff obtains a transcript of the Sines deposition, he intends to move the Court to accept that transcript as evidence. The Plaintiff may also seek permission to depose Mr. Hardy.”

From Attorney Ty Clevenger January 27, 2020.

“We now have unequivocal proof that the FBI is hiding records about Seth Rich

The FBI is hiding documents about murdered Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich, according to emails released last week, so this morning I requested a criminal investigation into the cover-up.

As most people outside of solitary confinement know, the whole “Russian collusion” investigation began with the premise that Russia hacked the DNC, but considerable evidence suggests that the DNC emails were downloaded by someone inside the DNC — liike Mr. Rich — and then provided to Wikileaks.

Rather than re-invent the wheel, I’ve copied and pasted my letter to U.S. Attorney John Durham, U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue, and Inspector General Michael Horowitz:”

Sidney Powell on Lou Dobbs march 12 2020, John Solomon report FBI exonerated Flynn Jan 2017, Attorney General Barr should dismiss case

Posted on March 13, 2020 | 61 comments

Sidney Powell on Lou Dobbs march 12 2020, John Solomon report FBI exonerated Flynn Jan 2017, Attorney General Barr should dismiss case

“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 23, 2019

“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those
records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019

 

General Michael Flynn attorney Sidney Powell was interviewed by Lou Dobbs on March 12, 2020.

The interview centered around the report of John Solomon March 11, 2020.

“FBI’s Russia collusion case fell apart in first month of Trump presidency, memos show

Flynn collusion ruled out, Steele dossier debunked in January 2017, more than two years before Mueller announced it.”

“In rapid fire sequence in January 2017, U.S. officials:

  • received multiple warnings about the credibility of informant Christopher Steele and his dossier;
  • affirmed key targets of the FBI counterintelligence investigation made exculpatory statements denying collusion to undercover sources;
  • concluded retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, was not engaged in collusion with the Russians.

The latter revelation has mostly escaped much notice, contained in a single sentence in a once-sealed court motion filed by Flynn defense attorney Sidney Powell that requested what is known as Brady material, or evidence of innocence.

That motion dated Sept. 11, 2019 requested access to “an internal DOJ document dated January 30, 2017, in which the FBI exonerated Mr. Flynn of being ‘an agent of Russia.’””

“Flynn’s motion is confirmed by a 2018 letter obtained by Just the News between Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office and defense lawyers. It shows the DOJ exoneration memo was written after Flynn had been interviewed by FBI agents in January 2017 and after the government learned the former Defense Intelligence Agency chief had kept his old agency briefed on his contacts with Russia, something that weighed heavily against the notion he was aiding Moscow.

“According to an internal DOJ memo dated January 30, 2017, after the Jan. 24 interview, the FBI advised that based on the interview the FBI did not believe Flynn was acting as an agent of Russia,” Mueller’s team wrote in the letter.”

Roger Stone courtroom hearing on motion for new trial February 26, 2020, 11 members of jury back in court, Jackson: “take the matter under advisement.”

Posted on February 27, 2020 | 3 comments

Roger Stone courtroom hearing on motion for new trial February 26, 2020, 11 members of jury back in court, Jackson: “take the matter under advisement.”

“Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointed corrupt treasonous liberal judge with an angry disposition toward Americans who think differently than Obama, continues to put her own distorted interpretation of US law ahead of the US Constitution.

Her actions with Paul Manafort alone were ample cause for her to be removed, impeached or jailed.”...Patriot or Traitor May 15, 2019

“Stone’s Motion for New Trial is directly related to the integrity of a juror. It is alleged that a juror misled the Court regarding her ability to be unbiased and fair and the juror attempted to cover up evidence that would directly contradict her false claims of impartiality.”...Roger Stone motion for new trial

“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

 

From United States v Stone.

“Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Amy Berman Jackson: Motion Hearing as to ROGER J. STONE, JR. held on 2/25/2020 re: 332 Defendant’s SEALED MOTION to Open Hearing in Support of Amended Motion for New Trial. For the reasons stated on the record in open Court, the 332 SEALED MOTION to Open Hearing in Support of Amended Motion for New Trial is Granted in Part and Denied in Part. Bond Status of Defendant: Defendant Remains on Personal Recognizance Bond; Court Reporter: Sara Wick; Defense Attorneys: Robert C. Buschel, Bruce S. Rogow, Grant J. Smith, Seth Ginsberg “and Trar A. Campion; US Attorneys: John Crabb, Jr. and J.P. Cooney. (zjth)”

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14515855/united-states-v-stone/?page=3

From KPBS.

“A federal judge in Washington on Tuesday heard arguments from Roger Stone’s lawyers and federal prosecutors on the longtime Republican operative’s bid for a new trial based on his allegations or juror misconduct.

The more than four-hour hearing before Judge Amy Berman Jackson came less than a week after Jackson sentenced Stone to more than three years in prison for obstruction, witness tampering and lying to Congress. Stone, a friend of Trump’s for more than three decades, was convicted in November by a jury on all seven counts brought against him by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of the Russia investigation.

Jackson did not rule Tuesday on Stone’s motion for a new trial, saying before she closed the day’s proceedings that she will “take the matter under advisement.””

“Jackson then ordered that courtroom cleared of spectators and journalists for the rest of the proceedings, which included the surprise that she had called 11 members of the jury back to the court for potential questioning.

Reporters and members of the public were able to listen in on what transpired in the courtroom via an audio feed. Lawyers were instructed not to refer to any jurors by their name or juror number.

As the drama unfolded inside the courtroom, Trump took aim at the jury foreperson, tweeting that the individual was “so tainted” for allegedly having “hatred” of Trump and Stone. Trump also accused Jackson of being “totally biased.”

The motion seeking a new trial was filed under seal since it concerned the identity of a juror in the case, but Jackson said it involved questions about a questionnaire prospective jurors had to fill out during the jury selection process.

The jury forewoman answered questions under oath in the Tuesday hearing about her activity on social media, including a postings about Stone’s arrest in which she wrote: “brought to you by the lock her up peanut gallery.”

The forewoman was also asked about a first-bump emoji the morning before the jury reached a unanimous guilty verdict. The forewoman said it was a message out of solidarity.

The forewoman said that at the time she answered the jury questionnaire she could not recall posting anything about investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election; she added her answers were based on what she remembered.

A woman who identified herself on social media as the forewoman in the Stone case once unsuccessfully ran as a Democrat for Congress. The juror told the judge during jury selection that her former bid for office would not inhibit her ability to serve on the panel as a fair and impartial juror.

During Tuesday’s hearing, the defense and the government were each allowed to select one unidentified juror to be brought in and questioned by Jackson.”
