Covington Burling is screwed. Perhaps the deal here is to sanction them for Flynn's fees and costs, more or less making Flynn whole so he doesn't have damages for the civil suits he will start dropping on people once this is dismissed.
That isn't my theory and I can't really believe it, but I did here it today and pass it on.
Covington Burling Withheld exculpatory evidence from Flynn ? Is that what you are saying?
