#1 Is protecting the reputation of a non-government law firm more important to our government and its prosecutors than seeking justice for a defendant?
This sounds insane.

#4 Government prosecutors said they want ‘to make certain that counsel are protected in Flynn Case.

Because the counsel ~~sold out their client~~ cooperated with the government?

#6 Government prosecutors said they want ‘to make certain that counsel are protected in Flynn Case.

I for one, respectfully disagree and will site 'Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2' as justification and long-standing public belief.

Yes, g(r)om has it. Those meetings with John Durham and his people are bound to eventually have consequences.

#8 My reading of this is the defense team were strongly pressured by the government (to disallow evidence, throw the case, who knows) and the government knows any kind of investigation will expose there criminality.

#9 What are they trying to hide?

#10 So they're in cahoots which is all the more reason for Flynn to sue their asses off.

#11 The Defense team sold out.

It was a rhetorical question.

#12 The lawyers are 'Officers of the Court' and their maleficence carries significant penalties.

It could get real ugly for them, but probably won't.

#14 Who recommended that Flynn hire Covington & Burling? Now the prosecution wants to protect Covington? That's unusual. Unless this was a set-up to get Flynn and Covington was in on it. What a bunch of treacherous weasels there are in D.C.
