Sidney Powell motion to file redacted brief in US v. Flynn, ” instead of protecting
its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives”
“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
“Prosecutors Brandon Van Grack of the Justice Department’s national security division, who was formerly on Mr. Mueller’s team, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Curtis, of Washington, provided little explanation as to why they were not turning over the transcripts.”…Pittsburgh Post-Gazette June 1, 2019
“McCabe had a role in crafting the “insurance policy” in the event Mr. Trump was elected. Expect to find Comey a part of that also.”…Attorney Sydney Powell
From United States v. Michael Flynn
MOTION TO FILE PROPOSED REDACTED
REPLY BRIEF AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT THEREOF
Filed October 23, 2019:
“Michael T. Flynn (“Mr. Flynn”) requests this Court order the filing of his proposed redacted Reply on the public docket. There is little reason for the Exhibits attached to Mr. Flynn’s brief to be sealed at all, but Mr. Flynn agrees that the Exhibits can remain sealed longer if truly needed by the government. Mr. Flynn’s brief itself, however, contains very little material quoting
those Exhibits, and Mr. Flynn has already redacted from the attached proposed Reply, filed under seal, the names that the government itself redacted from Mr. Flynn’s Motion to Compel. As always, the defense has attempted to resolve this issue without requesting intervention from this Court—to no avail. As this Court has repeatedly noted, “‘There is a strong presumption in favor of public access to judicial records. See, e.g., Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597
(1978) (‘It is clear that the courts of this country recognize a general right to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.’).””
“From June 6, 2019, as evidenced by defense counsel’s confidential letter to the Deputy Attorney General, the government attached in its response, new lead counsel for Mr. Flynn has given the government every opportunity to dismiss this case in the interest of justice on its own because of the rampant wrongdoing of government agents from the inception of the “investigation” and prosecution of Mr. Flynn. 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. The only real “equity holder” in this case is Michael T. Flynn, whose career was deliberately and maliciously
destroyed by outrageous government conduct documented in our brief in reply. The American public is entitled to see that now.
Mr. Flynn served this country for over thirty-three years, in which time he rose to the pinnacle of his field in intelligence and national security. He is recognized as one of the foremost intelligence officers of his generation.2 He was deliberately targeted for destruction by certain elements in the government for many reasons—not the least of which was his publicly expressed
intent to audit the “intelligence agencies” where billions of taxpayer dollars are unaccounted for. The allegations made against Mr. Flynn precipitated his removal from the administration of a newly elected president in a time of great tension in this country.”
“In the case at bar, the need for quick public access to the documents is clear and of the highest importance. First, because Mr. Flynn, like all defendants in our system, is entitled to that age-old tradition of transparency that gives assurance “that others [are] able to observe the proceedings” and justice will be done. Press-Enterprise Co., 464 U.S. at 507. But in addition to Mr. Flynn’s claim to regular proceedings, is the public’s concern for the welfare of the justice
system generally. Mr. Flynn’s case has captivated the attention of the nation, and public debate about the case and the circumstances surrounding it have raised serious questions about the nature of the investigation and the legitimacy of the charges. Suspicions that grave misconduct has occurred—at the highest levels of our nation’s most prominent federal agencies—have scandalized the public and seriously undermined trust in the rule of law—the bedrock of our society. It is
imperative that the public has the chance to speedily examine these filings for themselves and make conclusions about the activities of their own government, whatever those conclusions might be.”
