| General Flynn Goes On Offense Against the Deep State |
| 2019-09-14 |
| h/t Instapundit [PowerLine] Several months ago, General Michael Flynn replaced his original defense team with Sidney Powell, a Texas lawyer who is a veteran of the Department of Justice and author of Licensed To Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice. Powell is a self-promoter, but she also appears to be a very good lawyer. She certainly is aggressive. Powell has launched an all-out attack against Flynn’s prosecutors, whom she regards as dishonest and corrupt. Given what we have learned about the involvement of the FBI and DOJ in the Russia collusion hoax, there is no reason to think she is wrong. On Wednesday, Powell’s motion to compel further production of documents from the prosecution was unsealed. Margot Cleveland comments at The Federalist: Yesterday’s filing expanded exponentially on the areas of evidence Powell seeks and lays bare Powell’s bigger plan moving forward: to expose the breadth and depth of SpyGate and how flaying Flynn lay at the heart of the soft coup attempt. In her Motion to Compel, Powell catalogued 40 categories of evidence the government has refused to turn over. She seeks a court order requiring federal prosecutors to provide the withheld evidence under Brady and its progeny. Brady and its offshoots require prosecutors to disclose material exculpatory and impeachment evidence to the defense team. |

| #5 #3 Yes, they seem bound and determined to show Normie that "proper channels" are a bad joke. They are incentivizing the use of far harsher remedies. And when those remedies are applied our betters will mewl "But who could have foreseen this?" #4 Prosecuting corruption won't happen if Trump fails to get control of the DOJ. And the same people getting those judges through are only too happy to gum up the works on political appointees. Which makes me wonder about some of those judges. |

| #4 It seems to me that he war against corruption is like mowing the lawn — something that must be done regularly to keep the worst of it in check and encourage a culture less welcoming of such behaviour. And while everyone is paying attention to the show, senate Republicans have approved 152 judges proposed by President Trump, which will make prosecuting corruption in the government bureaucracy much easier. |

| #3 We as a country have one chance to correct the deep state’s excesses and transgressions on citizens using the rule of law. The left does not realize how thin the veneer of civilization really is. |

| #2 Jeebus, Trump stepped into a den of lying, crooked, corrupted snakes when he decided to run for office. Will the American people ever see justice done with regards to Spygate? These people deserve to be keelhauled and then again. |
