Brief Thread:

Tomorrow @SidneyPowell1 will be appearing in court before Judge Emmett Sullivan for a status report for the govt. for the first time since @GenFlynn withdrew his guilty plea.
As I reported in January (below) @GenFlynn withdrew his guilty plea citing numerous cases of egregious govt misconduct. https://twitter.com/1GigiSims/status/1218786054788079616?s=20
Ongoing delays & failure to produce documents indicate that the gov't is still working with previous atty’s at Covington Burling to try to defeat the conflict of interest and ineffective assistance of counsel issues that @SidneyPowell1 raised in the motion to withdraw his plea.
On July 25, 2019 Judge Emmet T. Sullivan, ordered the well-known law firm of Covington & Burling to ‘promptly turn over the entire file’ on Flynn to his new defense atty @SidneyPowell1. The order was made under threat of a hearing before the District of Columbia Ethics Counsel.
As @SaraCarterDC reported April 9, 2020 “The order was made under threat of a hearing before the District of Columbia Ethics Counsel. The law firm turned over what is described as a ‘voluminous’ amount of documents but it apparently wasn’t all the documents.”
“Meanwhile, the govt still refuses to produce the orig. 302 and the DOJ memo of January 30, 2017 that exonerated him of any Russia issue, and it still refuses to dismiss the case because of the egregious government misconduct from the inception of this persecution” @SidneyPowell1
Comey’s FBI went so far as to [slip an FBI Agent secretly into a presidential briefing in August 2016—before the election—to collect information on nominee Trump and General Flynn,” Powell added.]
“The country & Justice would be best served if the DOJ would take responsibility for these outrageous actions & the deliberate attempted destruction of an honorable man," said Powell.
As reported previously by several news outlets and Powell herself, "The agents who interviewed @GenFlynn knew he was honest with them. They later altered the 302 until it was approved by Andrew McCabe.”
On February 14, 2020 USAG William Barr appointed an outside Prosecutor to review Flynn’s Case. So far no word has come out of the Dept of Justice since United States attorney in St. Louis, Jeff Jensen was appointed.
"Egregious Abuse of Power": Mike Flynn's legal team, led by @SidneyPowell1, extensively cited DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz's FISA abuse report in their motion to dismiss the case against Trump's former national security adviser.
