Yeah, Barr can get all of the phone and email records of the Team Mueller toadies involved. This was a concerted plan to manufacture a narrative.

Yes let's by all means not put someone who is adept at leaking confidential information to the press/enemies of the state in charge of the pentagon's budget/bank account.

Why not? Maybe then we might actually find out what the hell DOD's Office of Net Assessment really is and why they were paying millions to Stephan Halper.

To quote a famous Cajun Chef, "I gar-own-tee" that records of that expenditure won't be leaked.

How much Trump spent taking the JCoS to lunch will, though...with a few zeroes "mistakenly" inserted to the left of the decimal point.

I was being sarcastic. Until Barr and Durham are done, that stuff won't be declassified, not for public consumption at least nor even then, most likely.

Swamp is deep and wide enough to cross the Atlantic Ocean, apparently.

What a Birthday present this will be for me! I hope he goes scorched earth! Good times.

The funny thing about your post is that I had a case that would have given Clancy a run for his money in a fictional account in the early 80s. But it was classified. For all I know, the details still are classified.

Helluva case, with a lot of twist and turns, including a plane carrying me and a few other lawyers nearly crashing in a private plane in the midst of it. We survived but it was a close call. DOD had good reasons to kill us. We were going down a path they didn't want us to go.

After the airplane incident, the incitement to settle from the federal magistrate became insistent. I know my client didn't pay much at all. Have no idea how much the federal government paid to the plaintiffs to shut them up outside of the legal process. Back then? I'd guess a mil or maybe two was sufficient.

Are you sure you are not Barnes?

I am lurker and this is a bad joke!

Thanks for your contributions to this thread! (Share the story or at least what you can share)

That's a great story!

Makes for a great story now but living through it was a different story. When uniformed DOD and plainclothes FBI agents show up at your house late at night, on several different occasions, it got a little stressful.

FTR: I was never able to even speak by telephone with the DOD "purchaser" after the first awkward call when he screamed at me (once I identified myself and why I was calling) "I can't talk to you! It's Top Secret!"

I found out later that the guy actually worked for a DOD contractor who had lied about how they had obtained the vehicles for the test. They told DOD they had purchased all of them and faked the paperwork on that. They were greedy as my client's car was the most expensive model that manufacturer offered at the time.

So if they had just bought the car and destroyed it after, no one would have ever known. But when I started raising questions about a car that DOD thought was a completely clean operation, they had to wonder how I even knew about it. Hence the late night visits. I was single and living alone at the time and then they told me the reason the came under cover of darkness was not to alert our nation's enemies (Soviet Union) to my existence...for my own safety....

That's a HOLY CRAP moment. The Soviets are after me?

Looking back I now know they were interrogating me trying to scare me to see if I was who I said I was.

One last thing. When I was about 14 years old, I was given a social studies assignment to do a presentation on the US Communist Party. So, I went to the library, got an address for the Communist Party (in DC, IIRC) and sent a request for their literature to assist my research. Since my Dad was an oil company exec travelling all over the world at the time, apparently that got flagged. LOL.

The FBI already had a file on me because of that and they brought it up. I knew at the time that the FBI had showed up at my school because of my letter but I never had thought anything about it since then. But somebody made the connection obviously.

So I had DOD and FBI guys in my living room late at night (I'm in my PJs) not sure if I'm a Soviet mole or a target for Soviet kidnapping because of what I know. (Or to be more precise, what they think I know.)

Yeah, not fun at the time.

crazy story. pretty soon the government will start showing up at your doorstep asking why you're so interested in capitalism.

Your story keeps getting better.

Did you make DOD pay top dollar for the car to compensate your client?

Nah, they'll show up now with her TexAgs username.

Van Grack is still around & still trying to nail Flynn. I note an element of hostility in this memo...perhaps it's just my imagination.

Can't believe you guys haven't figured it out.

Do tell.

The comments section provides more info on the juror.

Aggiehawg...loved your story. Sometimes you just never know what's going on with someone you're dealing with of sitting next to on a plane. Yrs ago, I sat next to an individual in Atlanta's airport due to unexpected flight delay "unexplained emergency repairs". During casual conversation, I inquired as to his occupation and place of employment:
Me - "Where is your employer located?"
He - "Newark, NJ."
Me - What do you do?"
He - "Design Engineer".
Me - "What do you design".
He - "Medical equipment, instruments, etc".
Me - "That must be a lucrative enterprise".
He - "Not where I'm employed".
Me - "Public or privately owned?"
He - "Private".
Me - "Doctors?"
He - "Yep."
Me - "I'd think they would have deep pockets."
He - "Apparently not."
Me - "How do they manage to stay afloat?"
He - "I think they're using 'Key Man Insurance'".
Me (hair on end and after some hesitation) - "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
He (no hesitation) - "Yeah, I think so."
Me -

Almost didn't want to get on the same plane with him when they finally called for boarding.

I don't know what you think he was saying.....

Apparently (maybe/maybe not) but my suspicion was this engineer was aware/thought his employer(s) were funding their enterprise with proceeds from Key Man Insurance policies purchased in the name of employees identified by them as "Key" to their business...and one, or some claims had already occurred. My point was, I didn't want to board the same plane as he if they had a policy on him. Perhaps a bit tooooo cautious, but $**t does happen. No problems ensued...hyper imagination on my part, or maybe he wasn't "Key" in their eyes.

As in identify them as "key" then off them to collect the insurance money????

Yikes!

Nm

Sure hope there is some documentation to back this up.

That's what he implied...and why I couldn't think of a response. We just sit there in silence which made me believe it even more. Accidents/apparent suicides, etc. (?) do happen. Usually after 2 yrs., insurance will pay out on suicides. At that time, my employer had Key Man ins. on 2 or 3 employees...all Engineers with major offshore responsibilities. Fortunately, none expired and really didn't think anything suspicious or nefarious relative to them. Still, the event in Atlanta haunts me when I think of it. Never heard from him again.

Sorry for the distraction. No intent to divert the thread.

Hmmm....

Here's who she couldn't beat....

New recording surfaces regarding Mifsud. Listen from 18:00 -- 21:00 minutes to the audio embedded in the above article. Not the best quality. Obtained by a UK reporter in October 2017, the day charges were filed by Mueller against Papadopoulos -- Mifsud previously having been interviewed by the FBI in February 2017. Mifsud denies ever telling Papadopoulos that the Russians had dirt (or emails) on Hillary.

Even Judge Napolitano picked up on the above retweeting of an anti-Stone tweet by Tomeka Hart & says Stone is entitled to a new trial.
