Perhaps a dumb question, but why should we trust that the documents they turn in are legitimate or not forged? I don't trust those folks anymore.
I think what has them pinned down with the Judge is that date on the 302 7 mos from the interview. That time gap cannot be explained away easily.
On March 3 2017 Comey testified in closed session that he had reviewed the 302s and it was the observation "the agents . . . discerned no physical indications of deception. They didn't see any change in posture, in tone, in inflection, in eye contact. They saw nothing that indicated to them that he knew he was lying to them."
Now it's subjective as to what that exactly means, but what 302 did Comey see in March? Hard for him to see a 302 dated months after he was fired. Sullivan is asking for "all files" that means drafts or whatever. When evidence is destroyed, lost, not produced... In Court, the general conclusion is that it provided information favorable to the Defendant - particularly when it is prohibited by law to destroy even draft government documents, it's all work product and falls under the records retention act.
Weismann destroyed drafts in the past and was caught at it. You can bet Sullivan knows that. So whatever Comey saw five months before the 302 of record is, Sullivan wants to see it. If they cannot produce it they are likely going to have a problem with Sullivan. Too many instances of improper behavior on the part of the prosecution, with the revelation that McCabe may have pushed Flynn to waive counsel, and Comey bragging on the record 2 days ago of how they ambushed Flynn. I think Sullivan smells a rat.
