Not too long ago, I was privileged to represent a former big city police officer who had been charged with raping two young women of questionable virtue. He had met one of them through an online site where, among other things, prostitutes advertised their services. That purported victim had introduced him to her friend, who became the second complainant. It was no secret — and the prosecution was well aware — that the two young women were hookers. Nevertheless, despite the fact that my client had retired after being grievously wounded in the line of duty, he was arrested in a guns-drawn, break-down-the-door SWAT raid and remanded to jail on astronomically high bail pending trial.
In a previous cultural era, my client might not have been charged — much less swatted and subjected to prolonged pretrial incarceration — on the word of such witnesses. But, unfortunately for him, the #MeToo movement was in full cry, and the authorities were afraid not to afford full faith and credit to the highly implausible accusations leveled by these two beauties. My client was in serious trouble and faced a life sentence.
But then sources (who must remain nameless) secretly advised me that the complainants were living in a motel with all lodging, meals, and expenses being paid by the prosecution. Later these same confidential sources said that the two complainants had been arrested by a suburban police department with no ties to the prosecution for plying their trade out of their taxpayer-funded motel room.
This is what we trial lawyers call an opportunity. I served the prosecution with a discovery request demanding the disclosure of all bills, invoices, checks, payment records, etc. pertaining to the taxpayer-funded care, lodging, and feeding of the two complainants as well as all records relating to their arrest...

(a) They can produce the damning evidence of the government’s corrupt activities in order to continue the prosecution of their ludicrous and petty false statements case against Flynn. Or (b) the prosecutors can do the smart thing by dropping the charges and quietly disappearing into the witness protection program.
If the prosecutors want my advice, in the event Judge Sullivan grants any part of Powell’s lethal motion, they should pick option (b) and ask the U.S. Marshal’s Service to relocate them to Arizona. I hear it’s nice there in the winter, and retirees can live comfortably on even a modest government pension.
Snort, guffaw...
4 to 6 weeks. AG Barr is on the case.
Whatever happens, when the dust settles a little, Trump should order production of all charging documents AND the supporting evidence and testimonies that lead to the charges. Sunlight = disinfectant.
The coup d’état group need to be publicly disbarred. Neither should taxpayers finance the retirement of traitors. Do like Benedict Arnold, live off someone else.
Great article! Thanks for posting it.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing. If we are to save this nation, all of it needs to be made public. Expose the cancer, then carve it out. Otherwise, the host dies.
“AG Barr is on the case.”
I feel so much better knowing that. Not.
At this point, I sincerely hope that option (b) is off the table entirely. These sons of bitches need to burn after putting the country through this BS for three years!
Above and beyond the sedition represented by the Russian hoax, the American public needs to know that this has been a pattern of behavior since project ECHELON in the 1960s. The Clintons made effective use of blackmail and domestic surveillance for eight years (remember those “700 FBI files” they had?) and the advent of the so-called Patriot Act and projects STELLAR WIND, CARNIVORE and others has made domestic surveillance even easier.
So stop wondering why supposedly reliable members of Congress and Supreme Court justices vote contrary to their “core principles”; they don’t have any, which is how they secure millions in funding to campaign for a job that pays $174,000 a year and retire as multi-millionaires.
“The coup d’état group need to be publicly disbarred.”
You have to aim higher than “disbarred”. Disbarment is a slap on the wrist. I’m looking for lethal injection, hanging, or similar, for the traitors.
Utterly. Upon conviction, each should serve time in gender population at the most remote federal high security facility.
gender, or general
I prefer option C:
The Judge dismisses the charges AND ORDERS the DOJ to Produce Everything the Defense asked for Anyway.
flynn should get his money back from his first lawyers for failure to investigate and incompetence (if it can be proven)
They will find out what "gender fluid" means in a prison.
Get a rope.
“Any and all evidence that during a senior-attended FBI meeting or video conference, Andrew McCabe said, ‘First we f–k Flynn, then we f–k Trump,’ or words to that effect..
The Judge is a Rat so do not expect anything good.
