Why hasn't Flynn's legal team pushed the DOJ on this already?
I believe Flynn can still rescind his guilty plea and go back to court. He just needs a justifiable reason and he has several.
It’s an economical decision. Lose everything you have worked for to this point in time, or plead to a bogus crime to stop the financial bleeding. A prime example is Ted Stevens of Alaska.
Didn’t Struck-Stroke interview Flynn? Maybe I am misremeberating.

Because Flynn’s legal team knows what’s coming down the pipe and are perfectly content to let it take its good time to spill out and drown the deep state.
If what I believe is going on behind the scenes is indeed true, we really don’t need a bunch of half-wit, leaking Congress-critters seeing what’s going on.

I am sure you are familiar with the various explanations that have been floated (Flynn bankrupted by legal expenses; feds have the goods on him for something more serious, probably unrelated to the election, that the gov’t doesn’t want to air publicly; indictment of Flynn’s son used as leverage; etc.).
What if the DoJ has investigated the Flynn case, and is soon to indict various persons for obstruction, forgery, perjury, conspiracy, etc., for altering evidence and scheming to falsely charge Flynn with lying to the FBI? Could the DoJ’s refusal to accommodate Grassley be driven by concern that releasing info and key witnesses might undermine such cases? (If so, I’d rather they just unsealed the indictments, but perhaps the overall strategy isn’t ready). I don’t necessarily endorse the above, but it seems to fit the circumstances.
I find it easier to believe that the DoJ knows that the FBI was tasked with falsifying the evidence as part of the “lying” indictment they used as a screen for other matters. They want that matter to remain hidden.
