Flynn Hearing Reveals Existence of Bombshell DOJ Memo Exonerating Michael Flynn
Sara A. Carter ^ | September 10, 2019 | Sara Carter -

A bombshell revelation was barely noticed at National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s hearing Tuesday, when his counsel revealed in court the existence of a Justice Department memo from Jan. 30, 2017 exonerating Flynn of any collusion with Russia. The memo, which has still not been made available to Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell, is part of a litany of Brady material she is demanding from prosecutors. The memo is currently under protective order and Powell is working with prosecutors to get it disclosed, SaraACarter.com has learned.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan presided over the hearing Tuesday and set a tentative Dec. 18 sentencing date. He told the prosecution and defense that the sentencing date could be moved depending on the outcome of requests for Brady material requested by Powell and how the case will unfold in the upcoming months. Sullivan also noted during the hearing that the Brady order takes precedence over the plea agreement.

Powell will likely seek to have case dismissed for ‘egregious’ prosecutorial misconduct and withholding of exculpatory material.

“Judge Sullivan is obviously taking the Brady issues very seriously and clearly told the prosecutors that his Brady order stands regardless of the plea agreement or the plea,” Powell told SaraACarter.com. “If the prosecutors here were seeking justice instead of a conviction, General Flynn would not have been prosecuted. They have been hiding evidence that he was exonerated in early 2017.”

...

It looks like Comey, who would have been fully aware of this memo, has a lot of explaining to do.

“Brady materials” or “Brady evidence” is exculpatory evidence or witness-impeachment evidence a prosecutor is obligated to share with the defense.

It’s important to note, however, that a conviction is NOT necessarily and certainly not automatically reversed by the revelation of Brady evidence. I do not know if the same can be said over a “guilty” plea. In this case it would not result in an automatic exoneration for Flynn, though it would likely lead there after a few more hearings.

The requirement that exculpatory evidence MUST be turned over to the defense. The prosecution does not get to decide what is exculpatory so they MUST turn over all evidence

Based on case law with the name Brady

The one person crucial to the entire Get Trump Op was the head of the DoJ, and the FBi (FBi reports to DoJ).

Jeff Sessions

The man that Rosenstein would tell a group later that he (Sessions) would be on board to take out Trump with the 25th amendment.

They kicked in doors, did 5:00 am raids, raided Lawyer’s offices - and, it’s so very strange, that only Trump associates got this treatment.

This may indeed be significant, my friend, but so far Comey hasn’t explained or been held accountable for anything. I’ll believe it when I see action — results — not just more talk, and certainly not just more “promises” for “action”. Cheers!

Jeff Sessions had to be either the most credulous, stupidest AG ever, or part of the deep state coup against Trump.

At this point, seeing what he allowed to happen in the DOJ and especially given his pathetic “recusal” - there really is no other conclusion.

Comeys Achilles are his memos....

He’s already stated they weren’t work product... that’s such an easy case to make.

Then again...who TF, authorized him to write his F’n book?

The signer of that approval needs to be in cuffs...

The eye roll notwithstanding, yes, the Brady violation is very much a bombshell. Flynn walks. Just wait and see.

If he’s exonerated, his attorney will file a claim for damages and attorney fees. All that he lost will be tied to what they did to him. He can collect all that he lost and treble damages.

He will be fine.

The prosecutors will not be fine, they may be disbarred.

The government will claim it is not Brady material because he was never charged with collusion or conspiracy to aid Russia. He was charged with false statements about a conversation with Ambassador Kislyak, of which the FBI probably already had a recording.

Maybe the exoneration from the object of the so-called investigation could be used to show that the actual charges were a set-up or entrapment, though.

Whenever Mueller “needs” an indictment he ignores Brady and utilizes twisted legalize in a 1992 case, U.S. v. Williams.
In the Mueller report (Vol. 1, p. 177), Mueller cited Williams in asserting that the U.S. grand jury system . . .
“belongs to no branch of Government and the people” U.S. v. Williams (1992).

Hindsight shows that Mueller has used Williams to withhold evidence from other grand juries before—Ruby Ridge (1992), Waco (1993), World Trade Center (1993), Oklahoma City Bombing (1995), 9/11 (2001) and now the Trump-Russia Hoax.

Mueller himself argued this case before the Supreme Court, along with his buddy and fellow deep-stater, Kenneth Starr. It's a completely rigged system and has been for quite some time.

It was a Pyrrhic Victory:

Sullivan conveniently waited until after Stevens lost his bid for reelection.

I think that was deliberate.

Kenneth Starr blocked Miguel Rodriguez in 1994 from investigating the death of Vince Foster as a murder tied to the Clintons; Rodriguez outlined his reasons in his letter of resignation.

Yep. People may not want to acknowledge this, but Starr is just as dirty as any of them.

Does anyone in the DOJ care that Paul Manafort was destroyed by illicit lawfare?
