A remarkable discovery inside a court motion today in Georgia. In the case against President Trump and 19 codefendants, District Attorney Fani Willis files a lengthy notice of conflict of interest against several defense attorneys in the case {SEE FILING HERE}.
Essentially, the issue is that several defense attorneys for the defendants also represented state witnesses in other legal matters involving the Georgia election in 2020. Within one of the notices given, Fani Willis notes well-known lawyer Lin Wood was a participating lawyer with Sidney Powell & others and is now a potential state witness against them.
Fulton County prosecutors are essentially trying to remove lawyers from representing clients, by using conflicts of interest they are creating by making witnesses out of their peer lawyers who sued the state over 2020 election issues. It’s a Lawfare tactic also being used by Jack Smith in Florida; however, in this example the extent of the Lin Wood cooperation with the prosecution is unknown.
Lin Wood previously worked with Sidney Powell and Lt Gen Michael Flynn, until there was some kind of falling out. Lin Wood retreated from cases related to election issues and has now apparently been enlisted by Fani Willis as a state witness against the team he previously supported.
A remarkable change from this…. On November 18, 2020, Attorney L Lin Wood filed a motion within Georgia for an emergency injunction to halt the certification of the state election until resolution of numerous false ballots and ballot counting issues were reconciled. [Full Motion with Exhibits Here] Now he is a witness against his prior team.
Let’s not forget that bit of a mess Lin had with his alma mater Mercer during the election fraud stuff he was involved in. I don’t remember all the details, but they threatened to disbar him. He kept his license by leaving the state and going to S.C. (iirc).
So, raise your hand if you believe Fani & Lawfare would threaten to reopen that issue if he doesn’t play ball.

🖐🏼🖐🏼
I only have two hands, so there they are and unfortunately are both right.
Being ‘right’ with both is al-right!
Not exactly. He exposed them on a lot of wrongdoing after dialing into a ‘zoom’ call and busting them out.
He fought off some frivolous attempt in other states.
He recently concluded months of attempts by the GA Bar. Used the multiple hearings to expose their hypocrisy and manufactured evidence and then surrendered his license very recently after having all the proceedings recorded.
He did retire to SC to run an inn on an old plantation property he bought.
Not sure how you disagree with my comment. I certainly don’t disagree with yours. I followed it closely since I live in Atlanta. He was such a big contributor to Mercer law they named a room after him. Maybe Moot Court Room?
Fani, Lawfare, Kemp, et al will do everything to get him back on GA soil and threaten him in any way they want to, including jail.
Some have commented he voluntarily relinquished his license as he left the state. That part was rather hush-hush so I’m not certain, but I doubt there are little to no attorneys in GA who would represent him should they finally do him in.
Not really disagreeing just cleaning it up a bit. Been following his movement very closely for the last few years. He comes off a little eccentric sometimes but his troubles of the last few years are well noted. See primary examples below:
1. Cathy Cox became Dean in 2017.
After Lin went after the election fraud and machines in particular in Georgia, Cox started a campaign allegedly pushed by RINOs and aligned BAR executives to have Lin’s name taken off the mock courtroom at Mercer for which he donated a large sum of money (I think $1M), without credible foundation. This is the before the disbursement proceedings described below in 2.
He asked for his donation back initially, but relented and then asked them to take his name off of the mock courtroom.
Big NOTE: It should be noted that Cathy Cox led the effort to bring electronic voting machines into Georgia – first in the nation and Wood was linking that to the proliferation of machines nationally. It was personal for her. Cox led the establishment of electronic voting machines for the nation. Big red flag. And he called her out on it.
2. After various other states’ bar associations made attempts to disbar him for being named on various election suits he did not draft, participate, or sign off on, he had a falling out with Powell as she did not consult of ask his permission.
It was almost as if there was a national effort to set him up. Those cases either failed or are failing. The GA BAR then went after him using those attempts as credible for sanctions in GA, along with BS mental competency claims. He and his lawyer, Ibrahim Reyes fought off a series of kangaroo BAR proceedings against him I GA until recently.
He used those proceedings to record all of the ridiculousness, but due to weariness, completion of what he claims he was trying to expose, he surrendered his license and announced retirement from the legal profession. This was very recent.
3. After the 2020 election, and after filing suit in GA over rigged elections in federal court, he bought Tomotley Plantation in SC in the low country and opened an inn and went to cattle raising and other farm activities. He has also been involved in SC GOP politics exposing RINOs in SC.
It is well documented on his Telegram account and every time I cross checked his claims to other sources it matched.
Hope this helps, my friend.
I am super glad to know this because I liked him and could not understand what happened.
I did too! I hope this gets cleared up.
Lin Wood is one of the good guys. But, like President Trump, they try to paint him as one of the bad guys. In part, imo, because he’s a huge Trump supporter and very vocal about his Christianity.
Well….Im sure glad that Trump is doing what this ‘good guy is doing. And this helps me understand what the rift was between Wood and General Flynn. Now…..maybe….just maybe these optics we are being presented are not what they appear to be…but it doesn’t look good to Trump supporters from where we stand. Flip flopping never looks good! Just like Ellis now…..she looks like a backstabber now! Just like Desantis, Haley and all the other Rats out there…and right now…Wood looks like one of them! Make me see or consider a different perception!
B.N.: I wish to thank you for your many contributions to this Truth-Seeking site of Sundance’s. Yours is demonstrating the kind of mind I would relish having. Thanks again for the continuing education/Larnin’.
Here is a good post and yes I believe in Lin.
https://diannemarshallreport.com/lin-wood-supports-president-trump/
You’re good until the last paragraph where you fall into gossip and assumptions. It’s all very interesting, I will give you that. Especially w all those recordings before he went under the radar. Him finning now after being a sleeper for so long must mean it’s time for something, just not sure what.
I believe he ran for Chair of the SC Republican party and lost. I think he is a gadfly who jumps on any bandwagon that gives him attention.
You should follow him on Telegram. He’s an open book. He’s endured the lawfare that Trump is experiencing now. He said he has been subpoenaed to appear, but he has not talked to them, so they have no idea what he might say. He has stated his distrust of Flynn and I don’t think he likes Powell, as he didn’t appreciate it when she added his name to an election lawsuit, and he had no involvement in the litigation.
When he started exposing 2020 election fraud in GA, Mercer turned like a pack of rats on Lin Wood, the man who they had long recognized as one of their top alumni – especially for his relentless pursuit of the truth to exonerate and clear the name of Richard Jewel – an man set up by the FBI to take the blame for a false flag bombing at the Atlanta Olympic.
Yes, with the full support of Gov Kemp and SoS Rat, and others. Not one elected official gave him any support.
MC, IMHO, that says a whole lot more negative about Kemp & his corrupt RINOcrats than it does about Lin Wood. Plus we now know a lot more facts than we did back in early 2021.
GB, Totally agree. I didn’t mean for my comment to disparage Lin. I live in Fulton County. I am well aware of the corruption. He fought the fight as best he could. I do think he went overboard to some degree, but considering the corruption, I won’t fault him for that. They are totally using him, but he is too smart to fall for that crap. I just think they will try to put him in jail – claim perjury or something. they haven’t forgotten what he did.
I just hope he gets out intact. Just thinking of the J6 antics. Nothing is beneath them. He doesn’t deserve to be dragged through the mud again and again and again.
Agree. I don’t think they will be successful. They will try to get him to turn which he won’t do and then try to hit him with perjury or obstruction.
I think for him it is a continuation of the witch hunt disbarment proceedings that partially back fired and exposed and implicated the entire legal profession as corrupt in Georgia.
They’re pissed at him as much as they are scared of Trump et al.
They appear to weaponize the “law license”.
They threaten to disbar you if you do not fall in line. What they don’t realize is that they weaken the “law license” by doing so.
They best thing to do in that tug of war is just let go of the rope. “You want my law license that bad? Here take it. You’ve made it worthless.”
The same weaponization took place with medical licenses during the pandemic. They threatened doctors with pulling their license if they didn’t toe the line. More doctors should have pushed back and surrendered their worthless licenses.
That’s a damn good point!
And Wood continuously claimed that the GA BAR and those in politics in Georgia were all conspiratorially aligned through secret societies to force all attorneys in the state to fall in line or risk sanctions.
And brought a lot of ‘receipts’ that were, at a minimum, compelling.
They shouldn’t be successful. The right to claim a conflict of interest between a former client and his attorney belongs to the former client. What right does Fani Willis have to assert a right that belongs to Lin Wood?
Lin Wood said he is not turning on President Trump. He has no incriminating information whatsoever.
They make it up.
I think Fani misses the publicity she had and the love from media when she first filed. Her case has been falling apart. This is to give it some juice and publicity. He is going to flip. What announce he didn’t get a text or phone someone.
If he was to flip (which I disagree with), what exactly is it that he could do or say to ‘flip’ on Trump?
??????
Can you post a link? I have always believed in Lin Wood.
👍👍
How very sad for him. People can be ridiculously mean.
In this particular case and so many others I think we can replace “mean” with “evil”.
Yea. Cathy Cox, while Secretary of State for Georgia in the early 2000s had Georgia to become the first state in country to install voting machines. I think it was Diebold.
Wood called her out on this. And implied that she was bought off or coerced into it.
He’d done nothing wrong?
They told him he had to have a psychiatric review.
How Stalinesque
i think Mercer Law was mad at Lin for daring to vocalize questions regarding the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election results. They would have been mad at me, too. My neighbor, Georgia, was caught on tape stealing votes. A third grader could see it.
Yep.
Follow the money… just like when he wanted Kyle to stay in prison so they could milk the people for more donations. He should be disbarred for that drama alone.
That’s right. he left Kyle Rittenhouse in jail as a teenager rather than getting him out on bail, so he could milk it.
Disgusting.
Did Kyle win?
“Mr. Wood did you or did you not file a motion for an emergency injunction to halt the certification of the state electors?”
“Yes”
“That is all.”
They didn’t indict everyone associated as the 5th (which Mr. Woods is well versed in) would have been invoked so that they can call those not charged to testify in the affirmative to build their case.
“Mr. Wood did you or did you not file a motion for an emergency injunction to halt the certification of the state electors?”
“Yes”
Please take an hour or so to clarify. Does “yes” mean he did or did not file the motion.
Absolutely not surprising after watching him sidle up to Sidney Powell and then doing his best to sandbag her; said to my friend right then he’s setting her up for something not good. Byrnes is another one that I expect to see come out of the woodwork as a pro-govt witness.
Buck Sexton???
Patrick Byrnes
He used to post quite a lot against Powell and Flynn.
Still does on Flynn on Telegram.
I agree in regard to Wood but disagree with Byrnes.
We will all eventually find out; I could be wrong, but gut says let the hand play out.
I don’t understand Lin Wood; I think he has probably done some things wrong, but it seemed like Conservative, Inc. was using his eccentricity to divide the MAGA movement, so I am guessing there was more to the story on some of these things he did that appear to be very wrong. I’m not sure I know enough to criticize him.
Patrick Byrne makes a lot of sense to me. As far as I can tell he is very straightforward in admitting anything negative about himself. He is not a whiner. He is very capable and seems to be good at finding other capable people, and a fairly good judge of character, though maybe more optimistic about some people than I am. He has given up a lot for America and considered it an honor.
I also think he is what I call an “honest liberal”; one who really believes in truth and righteousness and doesn’t realize the logical quicksand that’s built on without God. He is very open that he is not a Christian, but it seems to me he is moving toward the realization that very few people are willing to stand up for truth at the risk of their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor, unless they love the One Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And I think Patrick Byrne respects that.
I pray that God will reward his service to his country by bringing him to a saving knowledge of the Truth.
He (who knows if it’s really him) said on his telegram channel this is not true.
If Fanny does call Lin Wood as a witness, I believe she will regret it big time. He reminds me some of Tony Buzbee who represented Ken Paxton. But truthfully I don’t think the trial gets that far.
😀
IMHO Lin is slimy, as I think he (Lin) was the attorney who was initially was suppose to represent Kyle Rittenhouse pro bono? If I remember correctly, Kyle claimed in an interview (with tucker I think) that fundraiser @ go fund me was started in efforts to pay his legal fees , but Lin who decided early on to defend the case ended up helping himself to the large amounts of donations collected from the people who donated to the fundraiser. Plus, I think Lin also suggested and persuaded Rittenhouse to agree to interviews conducted by the MSM. (which is a definite no-no in a high-profile self -defense case). I could be wrong about this, but I’m almost positive Lin Wood embezzled $$ from Kyle’s gofundme account. In addition to making promises to Kyle that Lin was unable to deliver.
I’ll look / research to see if I can find the interview and I’ll post it below if I can locate it. If I am wrong or incorrect regarding these allegations, I apologize in advance and will edit post accordingly.
Hear one article supporting my claim. I’ll continue looking for the video.
https://www.businessinsider.com/rittenhouse-said-lin-wood-john-pierce-defense-fund-was-scam-2021-11?amp
Here is the Tucker interview with Rittenhouse
My only question for Kyle is, “Where is the receipts (proof)?” A good man’s reputation is smeared by a bedazzled boy, speaking what he has been told, by the “big names” that have pushed themselves into his circle. Tucker didn’t even try to connect with Lin Wood to get his side of the story. Guess he forgot the Fox motto, Fair and Balanced. BTW Lin has got the receipts and has posted them on his Telegram account for anyone interested in the facts. This was a major hit job perpetrated by TPTB, and an ignorant star struck boy was their weapon.
“I think Qanon is a disinformation campaign the CIA created, that’s what I believe. I don’t know that for a fact, but that’s what I think it is.”

“We fired [Lin] because he was like going on with all this QAnon and election fraud stuff and just stuff we don’t agree with.”
–Kyle Rittenhouse, Nov. 24 2021
newsnationnow.com/banfield/full-episodes/banfield-rittenhouse-the-full-interview-and-transcript/
The Tucker Rittenhouse interview was published a day or two prior to that article by Fox on Nov 23, 2021.
I posted the link above for your viewing and convenience.
“I’m almost positive Lin Wood embezzled $$ from Kyle’s gofundme account.”
If you are wrong or incorrect for a statement like that your apology will have to be an awfully large one.
How do you quantify an apology? Is there an exact science for that measurement?
I draw my inferences from numerous sources I have read in regards to Lin Wood. In the article below the author stated that the authenticity of Wood’s statement in regards to the $2 million spent on Rittennhouse’s bail was not verified.
On Tuesday evening, Wood posted what appeared to be fundraising balance sheets from #FightBack Foundation, the organization he and Pierce started last year to raise money for Rittenhouse’s defense. Money from the foundation was used to pay the teen’s bail, Wood has claimed. Although their authenticity has not been verified, the documents show purported deposits and expenses for the foundation. One line states that $2 million, nearly all the money raised, was spent on Rittenhouse’s bail.
Rittenhouse told Tucker Carlson the Monday after his acquittal that he believes the lawyers were “trying to raise money so they could take it for their own benefit” instead of using it to bail him out. Now, both Rittenhouse and Wood are claiming that the money that went to the state should be returned to them.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kyle-rittenhouse-bashes-fraud-lawyer-lin-wood-1265395/amp/
I apologize for the word hastily using the specific term “embezzle.”
All Lin had to do was publish the receipts supporting how and what the $2 million dollars was spent. The fact that no action was taken to redact the claims made by Rittenhouse led me to draw my own inferences there may be some truth to what Rittenhouse claims.
“Trying to raise money for their own benefit.”
If my chosen verbiage offended you, I apologize. Maybe, I should have used the word “swindled” as opposed to “embezzle.”
This video is of a press conference with Patrick Byrne wherein he describes his meetings with the Trump White House legal team right after the stolen election, and the issues he saw among the team assembled to try to reverse the fraudulent outcome.
“Press Conference: Patrick Byrne on stating the facts on meetings between Nov 4 2020 – Jan 8 2021”
https://rumble.com/vuan99-press-conference-1pm-est.html
Byrne wrote a book about this, “The Deep Rig.” I read it as published on Revolver.news website before the book was printed. I accept the book as his perspective of what occurred in those meetings. I don’t accept everything he wrote as irrefutable facts, since much of it was ostensibly private and I personally haven’t read any hard refutations from anyone else who was present.
Byrne writes in his book, The Deep Rig: How Election Fraud Cost Donald J. Trump the White House, By a Man Who Did Not Vote for Him, that his duty to the country is “to give an honest account of what I saw over those nine weeks, and to do so with dispatch.”
Byrne is a legend in his own minded. He was played by the deep state and can’t be trusted. His Russian little squeeze box was part of the game.
Have you read his Deep Rig book or did you read it on Revolver.news back in early 2021 when it was available there? I think it was posted in 6 or 7 parts. It’s no longer there that I could find since he put it in a book.
I think he’s pretty legendary. Not perfect, but I don’t think most of us are in any position to throw stones until we’ve given up the sorts of things he has for his country.
According to him, the deep state in the end was played by him. And it looks that way to me – the deep state seems like they would love to kill him but are afraid what he might have set up to reveal about them if he’s dead. They don’t seem to want his testimony because he has way too much to tell. And that’s why they try to pretend he doesn’t exist.
Read his tell-all (well, actually I’m sure there’s more he could say, but this is pretty damning) Capitol Times Magazine interview here (by an interviewer who doesn’t even seem to like him much) and you will learn things you didn’t know you didn’t know about DC corruption. https://media2.locals.com/content/documents/2023-07-28/640135/640135_169055208064c3c710a9253.pdf?ttl=1695444615&signToken=8d797409666b287139cce9c21f8bbd37
I knew there was something shady going on when he and Patrick Byrne were not named in the indictment.
So much for being a so-called Christian, and having a truthful character, what a sell out.
He is compelled by subpoena, not voluntary.
And we don’t know what he will say or not say.
A little harsh until all the facts are in.
That’s my read, BK. The move made by Willis could be a simple as psychological device to disorder the coherence of her public opposition.
If so, it seems to be working.
For now. Truth always finds a way to surface. It just takes a while sometimes.
Pretty quick with the axe, aren’t you?
As usual, the NeverTrumpers like Bonchie over at RedState picked up the CNN story and put out their own article that Lin Wood had flipped on President Trump. Never mind that Lin put out a statement calling all these news reports fake news.
We know where not to get our news and it isn’t just CNN.
True many of those sites are TDS infested ( bought and paid for )
“Today, the Georgia State Election Board dismissed the false accusation against me, finding that I was NOT GUILTY of any violations of the Georgia Election Code or State Election Board rules.
“Will the Deep State Propaganda Rags now publish glaring headlines that I am innocent of the false accusation of voter fraud?
“No.
“Like the false accuser they rely upon for their propaganda, they are not the slightest bit interested in the TRUTH. They only seek to destroy my reputation and credibility with the false accusations.
“Sadly, the whisper of innocence rarely overcomes the shout of the lie.”

“I even had to sign a personal guaranty of a $150,000 loan from actor Rick Schroder to get to the $2M cash bail to get Kyle out of the Kenosha jail as soon as possible.

I think it is a wait and see. I check Lin’s telegram site on a fairly regular bases. The Rittenhouse thing was a bunch of BS and included some scum lawyers on the Rittenhouse team.
The case that someone posted about his previous lawyers I looked up on the GA Judaical site. It will not be out of discovery until 2024. I would not be surprise they are attacking Wood anyway possible and this is just another Psyops play.
Yup!
Lin was accused
by the the a$$
of doing what the a$$
-did himself.
Don’t forget what he did to Kyle Rittenhouse. Then right after this interview Tucker’s emails to Hunter Biden about getting his son into college dropped. How would he have access unless he is a fed. I thought he was a slippery snake from the start. He infiltrated the right to discredit any questions about the election. Trump has got to be really really careful about who he trusts
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kyle-rittenhouse-trump-lawyer-lin-wood-1
There’s more to that ‘story’.
Look back to that time period at Mr. Wood’s telegram account. He names the name of the real culprits ( mother included) who either deceived and or participated in what was alleged against Mr. Wood.
Exactly.
I really admire Lin Wood
Thank you very much for defending him. He seems to me a very good man, and as we see here they made accusations against him which persist. Without a few of you taking the time, it would all be believed and so saddening.
I appreciate your comment.
For me, it is not so much about defending Wood per se, as it about getting to the Truth(s) of the matter(s).
I was a little surprised at some (not all) of our more regular Treepers, themselves knowing damn well that the MSM and the legal system is corrupt and lies about everything constantly, to bite off so fast on the validity of their claims and accusations made by them and other influencers regarding Wood and embrace that Wood was bad without double checking their dubious claims.
However, that does reinforce my prior comments months ago about the power and influence of psychological operations and campaigns and its ability to affect anybody.
Trust Back Better? Everything Woke Turns to Fist
“Belden had no military experience before joining the YPG. He lived in San Francisco, where he arranged flowers for a living. Before that, he was a self-described lumpenproletariat, a lowlife punk and petty criminal with a heroin habit who started reading Marx and Lenin seriously in rehab.
“Once sober, he got involved in leftist causes, marching for tenants’ rights, blocking evictions, protesting police brutality. As he prepared for the Middle East, his girlfriend thought he was going to do humanitarian work. She was “not stoked,” Belden says, to learn that he planned to fight alongside the YPG.”

I’ve been reading so many say that Mr. Wood did Rittenhouse wrong. Rittenhouse was a very young man and listened to the wrong people. There is much that’s been told by Mr. Wood about all this and I’d rather believe a fine lawyer with a stellar reputation than what the other side put out.
Just a second… rollingstone???
Lyn Wood is a snake. Seen his type many times. Good Ole boy lawyer. Never could trust this guy.

LIN as in Lincoln
-so ya know
You obviously don’t know Lin Wood as many others do. And are too quick to believe everything you read by those painting him in a bad light. Even the kid Rittenhouse listened to the wrong people and was told wrong things. It’s all out there if you want to do the research.
100% wrong about Lin Wood. If he were a good ole boy, they wouldn’t have come after his law license.
It seems beyond bazaaro for Lin Wood to do anything on behalf of the people and state that destroyed his legal practice.; him.
They announce themselves.

Not shocked… never trusted Lin Wood.
Being said he may just be a convenient pawn in this versus a willing participant.
I feel the same way. I never trusted him.
I apologize to everyone who called out Lin Wood as a fraud. I thought he was a good guy on our side fighting the fight. No wonder he was pushing for people not to vote in the Georgia run off. The candidates sucked but marginally better than a liberal.
I think he’s nuts. Every time I heard him he was spouting gibberish.

https://t.me/s/linwoodspeakstruth?before=34746
Read for yourselves
Wood also counseled republican voters not to vote in the Georgia special Senate races, both of which we subsequently lost by not too much. He was increasingly becoming pugilistic and erratic. I stopped listening to him early on, simply because he was far too full of himself and thought it appropriate to publicly go on for thousands of words about his feelings and slant on life. Not saying he didn’t have a right to, but I didn’t have time for it.
The election was rigged. Lin Wood was telling Georgians that Kemp and Raffensperger were corrupt and their Consent Decree with Abrams was going to leave the Georgia elections wide open to ballot fraud. Seems voters thought he was a nut case about ballot fraud but trusted him enough to not vote?
Nice counter to illogical thought.
Lawfare is not interested in the kind of justice that is typically recognized as being justice. Lawfare practitioners have BIG IDEAS about what justice is and believe that any manipulation of the law and the facts are justified to bring about the end their “novel legal theories” are used to pursue.
One of the good examples of this is popular entertainment media are “Law and Order” (the original) and “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.” In one “Law and Order” episode the Assistant DA for New York, Sam Waterston, decides to prosecute a case even though there is no statute that defines the actions of the defendant as a crime. The defendant was a gun manufacturer that offered a high capacity magazine that was used by a crazed murderer to kill people in a city park.
In “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” you get treated to a close up view of a Lawfare style prosecutor who has made the decision of prosecute a priest for negligent homicide for what appears to be an Exorcism gone bad and he thinks caused a girl’s death. The prosecutor hates the belief in demons and exorcism, even though he claims to be a “Man of Faith.” He takes the case as a kind of crusade against the “superstition” and “fanaticism” of the priest in hopes it will help further some kind of reform in religious thinking and practice. That such things are not really his job is another story.
When the defense attorney finds a tape recording of the failed exorcism and plays it in the courtroom, replete with the hideous sounds of the girl raving in a different voice than her own and using some ancient language from the Middle East, the prosecutor knows he has a problem. How he solves it is textbook Lawfare, but it also depended on the defense attorney not catching on to what he was doing. During his cross examination he reveals that he had evidence of some exposure the girl had to that language a year or so before at some camp or other. From that, he attempts to shed reasonable doubt as to the meaning of the tape recording used by the defense.
The problem is, the prosecution does not have the use of reasonable doubt. Only the defense gets that. It was clever and the defense attorney did not catch on to it. She should have objected, taken back reasonable doubt for the defense, and advised the judge that the prosecution has to prove the girl could speak the dead ancient language, and fluently, beyond a reasonable doubt. He would never be able to do it. The claim that it was possible to speak it fluently with just brief exposure was absurd in its face.
The prosecution’s summation was like a tent revival preacher railing against what he thought was backward, superstitious beliefs that were discrediting religion, and makes sure to tell the jury, “I am a man of faith” in his opening remarks.
The twisting of law, and the presumptions necessary for a fair trial, such as “reasonable doubt” belonging only to the defense, are necessary to take another step toward justice as such modern minds conceive of justice. Anything goes. If they get the right judge, they can get away with a lot, like charging Douglas Mackey for violating a law that requires two or more people to violate.
The Trump lawyers should call Gabe Sterling and roast him like the little pig he is. That would be Must See TV.
Didn’t Gabe Sterling resign from his election position?
Don’t forget – Lin Wood told Georgia voters NOT to vote in the “rigged election” i.e. the December 2020 Senate runoff. Too many Republicans did not vote which is why we now have two Democrat Senators from Georgia.
https://www.newsweek.com/pro-trump-georgia-rally-lawyer-lin-wood-says-dont-vote-gop-senators-rigged-runoffs-theyve-1551927
So the guy who nobody listens to, who was screaming from every roof top that the Republican Governor and SoS were rigging the 2020 Georgia election for Democrats, lost the Senate?
So you’re saying the Senate runoff was not “rigged?” Pfffft!
It would not have mattered how many votes the Rs got, the Ds had it in the bag. They just used Lin as an excuse!
BTW Lin never told anyone not to vote. He said he wasn’t going to vote, and gave his reasons for abstaining.
It wouldn’t have mattered, they would have stolen the runoff, just like they did the general election. That’s the point he was making.
WOW!!!
The AJC finally gets a headline RIGHT!!!
God never ceases to amaze me.
God is sovereign over ALL.
Jesus Christ is God.
Lin
Well, well, well . . .
I will give you 2 guesses who is pushing the lie today that I “flipped” on President Trump!!!
I suspect you will get it right on the first guess!!!
Hint: The name starts with “FFFFF” and ends in “Flynn!!!”
No surprise to me. I have been exposing the Flynnions for a long time.
Today, they revealed more TRUTH about who they really are!!! When they tell you who there are, believe them!!!
Hey, Mikey and Joey, read my lips:
“#FIX2020!!!”
Lin
That did not take long to ferret itself out.
Lin seems to know some things about Flynn and some Flynn family members.
It’s not only questioning Flynn’s faith.
yes
Is that from twitter/X or what?
Telegram
Case dismissed!
He was an agent provocateur from the beginning. Many openly suspected as much all along.
For anyone who wants to see what Lin Wood has to say just check out his telegram page. He is adamant that he has not flipped on President Trump. He also says who he thinks is behind spreading the fake news. He said he has no control over who Fanni subpoenas. I have followed his page regularly since 2020. He has not bit his tongue once and has always supported President Trump as he says 117%.
see comment above from Mass Psychosis
Exactly.
Lin Wood is denying this, All the liberal media are the ones reporting this.
It will be high comedy to watch the Trump defense counsel throw every word Mr. Wood has ever posted in all the various platforms and forums about his support for President Trump, and his sudden conversion to federal prosecution right think.
Lin Wood is a die-hard Trump loyalist. He is not a fan of Sidney Powell. He will tell the truth, nothing but the truth.
Perhaps Wood struck a deal with Willis – she wants Trump and he wants the mental health evaluation to go away… Wood lost the appeal to block the GA Bar Assn from requiring a mental health eval as a part of their investigation regarding his disbarment…
After I heard Lin Wood rant, on a stage with Sidney, and …some other lawyers I can’t recall right now, I dismissed him from that point on.
Heresthe remarkable thing.
PDJT has been betrayed by MANY who have succumbed to threats and coercion, and many who were argueable betrayers from the outset.
ALL were from the “professional” classes, Dr.s, Lawyers, Politicians, and various “Professional” backgrounds.
There are 600-700 J6 defendants, just “ordinary people” who have been abused, threatened with and given outrageously long sentences, all in an attempt to coerce them into saying anything along the lines of they entered the Capital because PDJT told them to.
“Just SAY it, and we’ll go easy on you!”
And not ONE has; no Cohens, all Manaforts, J6 have been “stand up” and refused to help them with their false narrative of a PDJT instigated insurection.
NOT ONE.
And yet Wood has been constantly attacked with suits and administrative BAR proceedings in multiple states since early 2021 and has not once had a disparaging comment against Trump.
And defends and promotes Trump every single day on his Telegram account including calling him the only person to save America as a POTUS, persistently calls out child trafficking more than anyone and everyone combined; and like just like you, states that the 2020 election must be fixed as everyone in office was selected or allowed to win.
Thanks BK. What are your thoughts on the Flynns being so antagonistic to Wood? Didn’t Mike Flynn change his plea to guilty to protect his son Joe? From what, exactly and are Mike and Sidney Powell still protecting Joe? Could this be the source of the falling out?
I consider Mike Flynn a patriot and POTUS Trump publicly stated Mike needed to be ready to be very busy in a second term (paraphrasing).
Their support of POTUS Trump should be unifying not dividing them.
Your thoughts? Thanks.
My response to your questions should be taken with a grain of salt, is opinion only and could be construed as ambiguous at best, but it is their only way I will answer because there are too many variables and unknowns at this point imo:
1. Wood has consistently stated that Flynn is a snake in the grass and basically a deep state plant and is out to split MAGA and support for Trump. Whether true or not, that is the primary source of their animosity. It is also true that Flynn has relentlessly attacked Wood directly and thru now proven proxy.
Wood fell out with Powell for using his name in election fraud pleadings in other states without his knowledge, participation in any way and permission. This led to suits and administrative BAR actions against Wood for undeserved sanctions in multiple states to include Delaware and if I recall correctly, Wisconsin or Michigan. May have been more. So that is the source of that animosity.
It has long been speculated and acclaimed that Flynn accepted the plea deal due to threats to his son, but I don’t know the nature of the claims or their validity.
I don’t have enough info or recollection to address the last two questions of your first paragraph.
I liked Flynn very much for a long time. My position for the last 1-2 years is neutral somewhat along the lines as Sundance has stated concerning Flynn.
Powell, while doing what appeared to be good at the time, I’m no longer sure about either regarding those 2.
I will say that Wood’s claims against them seem to be more logical and/or valid than their counter claims against him for now, in my estimation. I could be wrong though.
Not demeaning Flynn nor Powell, I just have decided to take a neutral position on them for now. Caution is where I’m at.
Best I can do for now.
Wow! Thank you so much for your thoughtful, researched and commitment to factual information BK! Truly appreciated! I am reposting your reply with my comments below each of your comments in *bold* to attempt to keep it organized and understandable.
“My response to your questions should be taken with a grain of salt, is opinion only and could be construed as ambiguous at best, but it is their only way I will answer because there are too many variables and unknowns at this point imo:”
Understand and agree BK. It does seem that we (certainly I) have progressed to knowing more of what we don’t know and now questioning virtuous assumptions I have made about the Flynns. Won’t happen again.
1. Wood has consistently stated that Flynn is a snake in the grass and basically a deep state plant and is out to split MAGA and support for Trump. Whether true or not, that is the primary source of their animosity. It is also true that Flynn has relentlessly attacked Wood directly and thru now proven proxy.
Why would Flynn be such an aggressive attacker of Wood when both Flynn and Wood are supporters of POTUS Trump? There are plenty of deep state/lawfare opportunites for Flynn to spend so much of his time on and leave Wood out of it. Not logical. Would Flynn benefit from attacking Wood and how. I actually got this not from your reply but from the Mass P post in the Flynns own words.
Wood fell out with Powell for using his name in election fraud pleadings in other states without his knowledge, participation in any way and permission. This led to suits and administrative BAR actions against Wood for undeserved sanctions in multiple states to include Delaware and if I recall correctly, Wisconsin or Michigan. May have been more. So that is the source of that animosity.
This seems more clear cut to me as they were defacto “partners” in these pleadings and it warranted at least knowledge of future actions even just as a professional courtesy.
It has long been speculated and acclaimed that Flynn accepted the plea deal due to threats to his son, but I don’t know the nature of the claims or their validity.
TY! I was under impression that this was proven fact so good to know.
I don’t have enough info or recollection to address the last two questions of your first paragraph.
I liked Flynn very much for a long time. My position for the last 1-2 years is neutral somewhat along the lines as Sundance has stated concerning Flynn.
You, Mass P, Peace and some others are well read and connecting dots in following Wood/Flynns/Powell. That baseline is gold as information unfolds to build on. I already moved into neutral myself on Flynn and need more information on his loyalities. He has definitely come off my VP preference list- cant risk another Pence for term 2 especially since Navarro has proven loyal to POTUS Trump, has the Wolverine geopolitical experience so needed and would strike fear into uniparties’ hearts if something were to happen to POTUS Trump. (Hat tip to WSB for Navarro suggestion)
Powell, while doing what appeared to be good at the time, I’m no longer sure about either regarding those 2.
Time will tell. Could be a red herring thrown into the complexity mix when it could be a clash of conflicting lawyer egos.
I will say that Wood’s claims against them seem to be more logical and/or valid than their counter claims against him for now, in my estimation. I could be wrong though.
Not demeaning Flynn nor Powell, I just have decided to take a neutral position on them for now. Caution is where I’m at.
Got it. You will go in the direction of where the facts lead as it should be.
Best I can do for now.
Pretty great!
Again, thanks BK for taking so much thoughtful time on this!
Welcome.
I think the fallout with Flynn is also rooted in the fact the Flynn recommended some cyber security “expert” who apparently copied all of Wood’s files. THAT would make anyone angry.
Yes, Flynn did accept the plea deal because of his son. Flynn lost a lot when they went him. That alone makes me think he is not deep state.
My jury is still out on Powell. My biggest problem with her is that she keeps saying has mountains of evidence but refuse to go into details.
Very true. Those files made their way to LAWFARE attempts. Per Wood, some of the info used against him in attempts could have only came from Flynn breach of files.
As regarding paragraph 2, I used to think the same thing. Not so sure now.
I commented somewhere in the recent past on another CTH post (can’t remember which one now) of a possibility/plausibility (not probability) concerning the prosecution of Flynn.
1. While Flynn went thru hell in LAWFARE, he prevailed when virtually no one else has regarding attacks against ‘Trump’ folks.
2. Upon conviction, and to my knowledge, no meaningful action by the Army was taken against Flynn (loss of rank, retirement benefits) like Oliver North and others have, until cleared. But I may be wrong. If something did, there was no media coverage and one would think that would have been plastered all over the news.
3. The Big One: think about what Sundance has posted a multitude of times and regularly regarding SILOs.
Now apply to this possible scenario: how do we know if Flynn was not an additional ‘insurance policy’ also? And Comey didn’t know when he ran his scam on Flynn and once started, he couldn’t stop it or reveal it after the consequences of charges has been made and made public.
And at the same time, Flynn being well educated and presumably knowing about Rogers’ NSA revelations about spying on the campaign, didn’t feel he needed counsel (not afraid) while speaking to Comey/FBI – (presumed they were ‘dialed in’).
Things that make you go hmm 🤔.
Thanks. That does make me go hmmm, then HMMMMM!!!!…
Same here CCV!
IM still waiting for her to release the crackin.
Pointing out the various Lawfare tactics is beyond interesting, but perhaps using Wood as a prosecution witness may end up biting the prosecution in the butt. IIRC, toward the end of his public attention, Wood kind of jumped off the deep end of reason and logic. He may be more of a detriment to the prosecution than a help (if Trump would get a good attorney like Buzbee to cross examine him……)
After Trump, Lin Wood has been one of the most persecuted individuals in this movement.
The Powell/ Flynn groups have and still do grift millions off of conservatives. Follow the money right?!?! Lin Wood will answer the questions honestly as a man of God. Sunlight is the best disinfectant as they say. This headline is misleading that needs more research of all the defendants in this case. If I remember correctly, Powell was one of the defendants to request an expedited trial, and some lawyers would say that usually means they will be damaging to the target (Trump). Hopefully Sundance does a deep dive of the snakes that were put in and around Trump.
I thought he was a Christian. Christians don’t BETRAY PEOPLE
Who said he has?
Like that racist BB doesn’t sweat out her pores GUILT by CORRUPTION!!
What happened to Lin Wood?
How do they know what he is going to say? Lord, I pray he does the righteous thing.
Sounds like a good way to get in the enemy camp to me.
I have known Lin Wood since the early 1990’s. I have never known him to kowtow to anyone. He listens to reason and forms his own decisions. I would be extremely surprised if he caved on any issue(s) that he held in his strong beliefs and convictions.
Absolutely must be the case that Lawfare is being “threatened” against Lin Wood. We need to have General Flynn get into this thickly. Give some support and directions to the mass of people being railroaded by the soviet style star chamber process.
Lin Wood knew he didn’t have the money to mount a defense, and knew MAGA would never help fund it after what he did with the election cases. So of course he turned states evidence.
You don’t see this on the left because they’re ideologically aligned, but on the right their interest is money (Lin Wood).
This feels wrong. All of it. Truthfully, if we have this many traitors, we’re screwed no matter what happens. If that’s the case, the devil has won. I’m going to put my faith in God and God alone and pray for decency to rise up in humankind. Given the lengths that people will sink to these days, either propagating untruths or turning on a dime to save their own ass, it’s reprehensible. One thing is undeniable, we’ve got way too many unsavory characters pulling the levers of power. It’s time for them exit…stage anything!
