Flynn Withdraws Plea Deal in Sydney Powell’s Scorched-Earth Motion

Sydney Powell is not messing around with these corrupt DOJ lawyers. – Former National Security Advisor Lt. General Mike Flynn filed a motion to withdraw his plea of guilty in his entrapment case on Tuesday. The move comes a week after the government lawyers had reneged on their previous sentencing agreement with Flynn, and recommended Gen. Flynn serve jail time for allegedly misleading FBI Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka in the January 2017 entrapment meeting that helped to create the pretense for the Mueller Witch Hunt.

Flynn’s attorney, Sydney Powell, filed a motion that scorches the earth on which the corrupt DOJ lawyers prosecuting this case stand. The full motion can be found at this link. Here are some key outtakes from it [Bolding added for emphasis]:

Michael T. Flynn hereby moves to withdraw his plea because of the government’s bad faith, vindictiveness and breach of the plea agreement…

Only after new counsel appeared did the government for the first time demand an admission and testimony from Mr. Flynn that he knew and intended when he signed the FARA registration form that it contained several material false statements. Not only was that demanded testimony a lie, but also, the prosecutors knew it was false…

The prosecutors concocted the alleged “false statements” by their own misrepresentations, deceit, and omissions…

Not only did Mr. Van Grack [lead government lawyer for this case] demand false testimony from Mr. Flynn about the alleged “false statements” in the FARA filing, but Mr. Van Grack also knew it was false because Mr. Flynn had explained it to him on June 25, 2018, in preparation for his testimony to the grand jury…

In pure spite, the government retaliated and sought to rescind its judicial admissions that Mr. Flynn was not a co-conspirator, obtained an ex parte emergency order from Judge Trenga, including a gag order, and moved up the date of the hearing on the issues without notice to counsel for Mr. Flynn. An agent improperly contacted Michael Flynn, Jr.…The prosecutors placed him on the witness list solely to harass him and to raise the threat and anxiety of the family at this crucial time. The prosecutors completed the trial without calling him as a witness…

Justice is not a game, and there should be no room for such gamesmanship in the Department of Justice…

The Government’s tactics in retaliation for Mr. Flynn’s refusal to “compose” for the prosecution is also a due process violation that can and should be stopped dead in its tracks by this court…

Keep praying for General Flynn. Great lawyers are invaluable, and he has a truly great one in Ms. Powell. But the government’s powers to abuse the process are enormous, and the judge in this case appears to be willing to turn a blind eye to the clearly corrupt manner in which this case has been conducted all along.

That is all.

This case tells me Barr is not in control and has no plans to prosecute democrats.

At the very least it shows that Barr is still hands off on all the legacy SC Mueller cases.

I absolutely agree with you. Was just explaining the mindset argument I’ve heard over and over.

My only problem with Barr is he’s not getting rid of the entrenched deep staters. How can Clinton be investigated and let go? Given the plethora of evidence of her malfeasance, how did she not get busted?

Barr is slow-walking McCabe, Comey and many more. It’s excruciating and justice delayed is justice denied.

My only problem with Barr is he’s not getting rid of the entrenched deep staters.

Have you ever tried to to fire a government employee? I have and I have both succeeded and failed. It is extraordinarily hard to do. In one case, I finally got an employee transferred to the Chaplain's office. It wasn't fair to the Chaplain, but she was able to perform better without the time and performance standards stresses.

I would expect that employees at the DOJ would have the skills to successfully fight off attempts to fire them.
