Did I miss this in this thread? I don't recall seeing this news covered in this thread.
Charges quietly dropped?

So this means the ham sandwich beat the wrap?
I believe that reference is to the Concord case wherein one Russian defendant hired counsel and showed up to contest the case and conducted (or tried to conduct) legal discovery from Team Mueller.

The case was one that Team Mueller never thought would be contested. Just a PR stunt but they went after a Putin bestie. He had his company hire lawyers to fight the charges. And Team Mueller disgraced themselves, over and over and over again. Case was a disaster from the moment they were challenged with a defense.

ETA: If the case that was quietly dismissed was the GRU case, that would be for lack of prosecution. Again, just a PR stunt to hurt Trump when he was meeting with Putin in Helsinki. POS indictment that should never have happened.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Tom Fitton said today that Trump should pardon Flynn, even assuming he gets the case dismissed (or is exonerated).

His reasoning, which I agree with 100%, is if Trump loses, they'll go after Flynn again on one of our millions of laws. I believe the judge will dismiss, having learned some of Sullivan's dislike for prosecution on this thread, or maybe I should say lack of complete trust in prosecution.

Good way to end the day.

If Trump was to lose, he will have to issue pardons to everyone who worked for him, and his entire family.

Democrats will go after them without mercy if he doesn't.

Shoot I'm older than you Hawg, and I'm "retired" also!

The deal is my definition of retired = get re tired, replace the worn out tires with 4 new ones and keep on rolling!

Seriously though. I am full on engaged in this war, and that is what it trully is a war. If we lose then my kids will get swept! This isn't just about Trump, it's about our US culture.

So really think about it! I know you don't have kids, but I know you have family and friends and I also know you know exactly what is going on here and that I am right in this.

The reason I said refer this to Dershowitz is because A) he's a civil libertarian and great defender of the First Amendment; B) he has a bully pulpit in which to broadcast these concerns; and C) he has the resources (read students) to work on reaching out to people to bring a class action suit forward pretty damn quick. Plus he's rich enough, he'll do a lot of it pro bono. This is right up his alley, since the ACLU won't touch this with a ten foot pole.

It's silly how horrible everything in this case is botched.

Quote:

Covington and Burling LLP, the former defense team for former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, turned over thousands of more pages of documents to Flynn's new defense team that should have been submitted more than a year ago. Last week, another batch of documents withheld by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team on Flynn was turned over to his defense that allegedly reveals that the retired three-star general did not commit any crimes, as suggested by Department of Justice prosecutors.

This new batch of voluminous documentation turned over by his former defense team which includes emails, texts, voice messages, notebooks, handwritten notes and legal documents amounted to approximately 6,800 additional documents bringing the total amount of documents to roughly 669,800, along with attachments.

...

"The Flynn defense is stunned that Covington and Burling has only now found thousands of additional documents amounting to more than 17,000 pages that should have been produced to the defense almost a year ago," she stated. Powell, who has been battling for documents from the Department of Justice as well, said the enormity of documents withheld from Flynn's defense is proof of the misconduct against her client.

...

Tuesday's supplemental notice, which was signed by Flynn's former defense counsel Robert Kelner with Covington and Burling LLP, stated that the reason the documents were turned over so late to Powell was due to "an unintentional miscommunication involving the firm" information technology personnel had led them, in some instances, to run search terms on subsets of emails the firm had collected for its response to document requests United States v. [url=https://saraacarter.com/govt-wants-to-jail-flynn-for-refusing-to-lie-for-prosecution-in-rafiekian-case-heres-my-take-on-it/][Bijan] Rafiekian,[/url] the case involving Mr. Flynn's business partner and their FARA-related work through their consulting firm, rather than on the broader sets of emails that should have been searched."

They must have surmised there is a ****-storm coming their way and they may as well come clean because they will have to (one way or another) eventually. Get it all out there now - the sooner the better.
