I believe this to be real. Judge Sullivan asked for all possible exculpatory evidence whether Mueller and his team believe it relevant or not and he himself will determine whether it’s relevant or not. Mueller can’t escape; if he tried to withhold evidence then somebody, even if it’s one person will leaked what’s out there and then Mueller will be forced to leave for hiding evidence against a Judges order and that’s before his chances of trying to draw up Obstruction of Justice against Trump. Mueller might as well try to take the lumps of Flynn charges being dropped and see where it goes than to risk it ALL to have his cake and eat it too
I agree with you. There probably is a mole there, either a young lawyer who doesn’t want to see his budding ‘career’ and his student loans go to waste, or they made a HUGE MISTAKE and accidentally hired a secretary with moral values.
What really tells me that Sullivan already has some of the withheld materials is that this demand is a virtual repeat of the same from 3 months ago. Given that background, it sounds more like a final warning. The problem that Mueller’s corrupt bunch has is that they almost certainly don’t know what Sullivan has, and so if they again try withholding, they just may be called on it.
This new order is a DISASTER for Mueller’s corrupt bunch, because of what it implies, but of the course the media will not say so.
