Feds Back Off Jailing Michael Flynn After Stunning New Evidence That Gov't 'Lied' and 'Framed' Him
[PJ] The government lied, "framed," hid favorable evidence, and showed "contempt for the law at every turn" in their treatment of Michael Flynn, the retired three-star Army general and former Trump White House national security adviser.

Those charges were contained in a new filing in the government's case against Flynn. And his attorney, Sidney Powell, was just getting started.

In the 27-page-filing, an add-on to her previous motions, Powell demanded charges be dropped against Flynn based on previously withheld exculpatory documents by the government and the IG report on FISA abuse.

The net result was that federal prosecutors publicly considered, for the first time, that Flynn would get no jail time and instead be put on probation for his previous guilty plea in what we now know was the beginning of the FBI's "Crossfire Hurricane" operation against the Trump White House.

Powell asserted that Flynn was innocent, claiming the "IG Report is replete with exculpatory information that, had it been know to Mr. Flynn, he never would have pled guilty."

#1 Well past the point people need to do jail time and we're not talking Flynn.

#2 I dunno. What with one thing and another, a couple involving my family, I'm not sure I'd trust any prosecutor any time about anything.
I think I'd vote to acquit irrespective of the case presented. Hate to send an innocent person to jail.

#3 I'm talking government personnel who are engaged in nothing less than a coup.

#5 We absolutely need prison sentences for the weasels who framed Flynn.

And full restitution of his legal expenses plus a public apology to Flynn by DoJ.

#6 The deep state cabals at senior levels of State, CIA and the Bureau needed to do him urgently because of what he knew from his time at the helm of DIA. This was a wicked and evil abuse of power and they did everything they could to ruin him and intimidate his family to silence him. He needs restitution and a chance to tell what he knows after declassifying enough so that Brennan. Rice and ValJar are revealed for the evil they did.

#7 /\ Exactly correct. He was targeted while still at DIA. The Klingon's have a long memory.

#10 Yes, Flynn needs to be compensated from the salaries and pensions of these Fed attorneys and judges.
