On this very board, we pointed out how irregular it was that Trump's phone calls were being leaked. We had no idea at the time that our intelligence agencies were the ones spying and leaking. It all makes better sense now.Rapier108 said:Even before Trump took office, Admiral Mike Rodgers (head of the NSA at the time) warned Trump that his communications were being monitored.Secolobo said:
I think when Nunes found this out and headed straight to tell trump (and dems went nuts), trump already knew. He told Nunes to keep it to himself and let it all play out. Two years, had to be...
I went through that filing earlier this afternoon. Vindman had 1 meeting & 7 emails during the 6 month reporting period with that lobbying outfit that were related to Ukrainian energy. Of course that period ended May 31, 2019 & doesn't cover the period of interest. However, Yorktown Solutions represents Kyiv City Organization of Employers Oil & Gas = NAFTOGAZ KYIV. Naftogaz is state owned & historically has been a major source of Ukrainian corruption, but it's not Burisma, the latter being a private entity. Naftogaz has been in the news regarding Rick Perry; he has been trying to coerce Naftogaz to change the composition of its board of directors. Perry wants to bring in American energy companies.aggiehawg said:

Aggiehawg or any other lawyer: have you ever seen an attorney in a white-collar criminal case use the media andTwitter to publicize a case as much as Sydney has her case with Flynn? I can't quite figure out why she's doing it. She's way too smart to be doing it unless she thinks it will help Flynn. I can't believe that she would think that the media attention would impact Judge Sullivan. Is she trying to set Flynn up for a pardon, or trying to somehow influence the appellate court? I am completely at a loss.
what exactly do you think is the point of the politics board?Pinche Abogado said:

.....While Powell appeared undaunted by Judge Sullivan's order canceling the November 5, 2019, hearing, the government's immediate filing of a document cast as a "Notice of Claims Raised and Relief Sought for the First Time In A Reply Brief" suggests federal prosecutors feared Sullivan had made up his mind -- and not in their favor.
.....
Late yesterday, Judge Sullivan entered an order directing the government to file a surreply brief by November 1, 2019, but in doing so instructed prosecutors to address not just the Brady issues, but any "new relief, claims, arguments, and information raised in Defendant's Reply Brief." The order also gave Flynn a chance to respond to the government's arguments by November 4, 2019. But that's it: Judge Sullivan made clear that no new arguments should be made in Powell's sur-surreply and no further pleadings concerning Flynn's motion to compel would be accepted.
Whether Judge Sullivan will schedule oral argument after receiving these latest filings is yet to be seen. And how he will rule is anyone's guess. But that Judge Sullivan did not limit the additional briefing to specific Brady issues, but instead directed the government to respond broadly to any "new relief, claims, arguments, and information," suggests the long-time federal judge's concern has been piqued by what he's read so far.
That "intractable conflict of interest" on the part of Burling, Covington was well known by Van Grack and Team Mueller. So, they offered a get-out-of-jail-free card to the lawyers by dropping the FARA claim in the guilty plea.Quote:
The government then highlighted several of the arguments Powell made in her reply brief, such as that "the government suppressed text messages that 'would have made a material difference' to the defendant"; "that the defendant's false statements were not material; that the defendant's attorneys were acting under an 'intractable conflict of interest,' which the government exploited to extract a guilty plea; and that the 'FBI had no factual or legal basis for a criminal investigation.'"
