General Flynn's New Attorney Accuses Mueller's Team Of Misconduct And The New York Times Suffers Fecal Incontinence |
2019-09-02 |
[Red State] General Mike Flynn’s legal team was back in US District Court on Friday and his new attorney, Sidney Powell, came loaded for bear. Rather than walk away from the plea deal, Powell wants additional discovery with the stated intention of a) obtaining sanctions against the Mueller team prosecutors who were operating under the direction of the lawless Andrew Weissmann (h/t to Will Chamberlain for the scans of Powell’s filing). The issue is Weissmann’s goons concealing Brady material (see the explainer). This is a hot button issue with the judge in this case, Emmett Sullivan. Sullivan, by standing order, instructs prosecutors of their duty divulge exculpatory material to the defense and he his the guy who tossed Ted Stevens’s conviction because of the grotesque misconduct by the Department of Justice. Here is sort of seems like that when the prosecutors were forced to cough up more material, there was exculpatory material included but they tried to paper over the concealment by stating the material was not covered. |

#2 The pucker factor just increased for the crooked Mueller team. Powell's not screwing around, she is going for the jugular. |

#1 The problem is, there appears to be no actual penalty for withholding evidence. So it costs the prosecution nothing. Wiki: The Brady doctrine is a pretrial discovery rule that was established by the United States Supreme Court in Brady v. Maryland (1963). The rule requires that the prosecution must turn over all exculpatory evidence to the defendant in a criminal case. Exculpatory evidence is evidence that might exonerate the defendant. |
