A curiously interesting development in the DOJ case against Michael Flynn. Judge Emmet Sullivan is weighing the merits of the Flynn defense Motion to Compel (MTC), which requests a significant amount of information on DOJ/FBI conduct in the lead-up to Flynn’s prosecution. A decision and court briefing was anticipated soon.
However, today the DOJ files a joint motion with the defense asking Judge Sullivan to delay any decision on the MTC until after the DOJ inspector general report is published on December 9th. The implication is that some of the “Brady” material at issue may be outlined in the IG report.
The joint motion asks for a delay to the Brady decision; and a delay in the subsequent sentencing therein. The full motion is below:

My view, Powell knows what is in the report, Pres.Trump told here, that would be fitting as Flynn was framed. Flynn well liked by the President.

The dim impeachment inquisition, the IG report, and the case of Gen. Flynn. All related paths that will meet at one point in the near future. December is shaping up to be quite an interesting month.

Why Would Van Grack agree to this? IF their case is so strong they should just wait it out and see what the judge says. We already know how the IG saw their handling of CHS in his last report that came out a week ago. They basically kept no records of any negative information about their informants. That right there tells you everything you need to know about their handling of this case, and the Russian Hoax case.

We surmised long ago that the prosecution’s case is weak at best, flaky is perhaps a better description. At any rate, Van Grack appears to be thinking the IG report will expose the material the defense is looking for thereby getting the prosecutors off the hook for providing it.
Van Grack seems fearful of getting into some sort of legal hot water if he did hand over documents as demanded by Flynn. What jeopardy would come of it remains a mystery, but something has to explain the extraordinary resistance prosecutors have shown.

Is it “lack of candor” to
1) alter a 302
2) then use the altered 302 to accuse the innocent target of lying to the FBI
3) then say the 302 probably doesn’t exist anymore so you can’t have it
4) then say someone else wrote the 302, that didn’t exist, but now exists, that we altered to use to accuse?

A good refresher
“Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) asked Mueller “Did you have an opportunity to talk to General Ashcroft, or did he discuss what was discussed in the meeting with Attorney General Gonzales and the chief of staff?” He replied “I did have a brief discussion with Attorney General Ashcroft.” Lee went on to ask “I guess we use [the phrase] TSP [Terrorist Surveillance Program], we use warrantless wiretapping. So would I be comfortable in saying that those were the items that were part of the discussion?” He responded “It was—the discussion was on a national—an NSA program that has been much discussed, yes.”[101]
On Thursday, August 16, 2007, the House Judiciary Committee released the heavily redacted notes[104] of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III regarding the Justice Department and White House deliberations of March 2004 which included the March 10, 2004 hospital-room visit of Gonzales and Andrew H. Card Jr. on John Ashcroft in the presence of then-acting Attorney General James B. Comey. The notes list 26 meetings and phone conversations over three weeks—from March 1 to 23—during a debate that reportedly almost led to mass resignations at the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[111]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Gonzales

It seems like Powell/Flynn vs DOJ is like a smaller version of Trump vs Pelosi/Schiff/Nadler. DOJ and dems don’t really want to go forward because they know what is in store for them, but they can’t stop because they are “all in” at the poker table. Fun to watch.

It is apparent that our goverment bureaucracy has become a haven for sociopaths like Strzok,Weissman and MR. Lindeman! How can we restore integrity and transparency to our government? Is it possible that a citizens oversight committee could be created to look into accusations of overreach, malfeasance and misfeasance? Those that abuse positions of power should lose more than their jobs; they should have to pay monetary damages as well! Someone like Andrew Weissman deserves to die drunk and in the gutter he came from!

The bottom line is that they want to find out how much they can get away with not revealing to the judge. They don’t want to be caught hiding something and then have it come out in the IG Report and then have to explain why they didn’t mention that in their latest filing.
