Comey could pay Flynns’ legal fees and buy him a replacement house out of his book proceeds and that’s the least that should happen.

Consider why Attorney Powell is letting this play out. If charges are dismissed, Judge will never order the 3-2s and other evidence to be produced. Flynn needs this stuff for his civil matter. He will get $Millions if he gets the evidence.
Judge is in a tough spot here. He will probably dismiss. Thus letting everyone off the hook. Article says this was not in the IG Report. How could the IG report miss this? It is a year after the article. This alone shows “BIAS” on behalf of several in the FBI. Everyone is avoiding the elephant in the room.

“The FBI can shred anything they please.”

We saw “Richard Jewell” today and were stunned at how the FBI treated that poor man — lying to him, manipulating him, tricking him, trying to keep him from talking to a lawyer etc. Basically it was exactly what they did to Flynn.

Seems Jewell was a decent guy, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so they used that to their advantage to frame him. Even when they knew he was innocent, they continued with the harassment of him and his poor mother. Actually, it was sickening to watch this.

This might have been the article you meant>

https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/13/how-the-ig-fisa-abuse-report-affects-michael-flynns-case/

(snip).....Then two weeks ago came another surprise: After having argued for months that there was no need to delay Flynn’s sentencing, federal prosecutors contacted Powell to suggest postponing the sentencing. Powell concurred and then the government filed a joint motion asking the court to cancel the upcoming sentencing briefing and hearings.

In the motion, the government presented two rationales for the delay. First, the parties noted that until the court ruled on the pending motion to compel, briefing would be premature. Second, and more significantly, the joint motion noted “that the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is conducting an Examination of the Department’s and the FBI’s Compliance with Legal Requirements and Policies in Applications Filed with the US. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Relating to a certain US. Person,” and stated that “the parties expect that the report of this investigation will examine topics related to several matters raised by the defendant.”

Now that the report is out, the question is how it will affect Flynn’s case....(Snip)

It will be interesting. Any other liberal judge would be suspect. But this judge did show some balls when he correctly overturned the Ted Stevens case: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7988402.stm. Of course the damage was already done in the Stevens case, as he never returned to politics after losing the bogus election. My prayer is that he realizes that Flynn’s life has been ruined like Stevens life was, except that the Judge is in a position to right a wrong. I hope he throws a large book at the Government, and exacts as much penalty as he can. If he does, perhaps Trump can drive the Democrats even crazier by appointing Flynn back into his Administration!
