HOLY SHIT. Well, THAT is very bad indeed for Bill Barr if true. https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1310711056902369291
I have downloaded exhibits and am having a look.

Altered notes, someone else's handwriting, and texts that have nothing to do with FBI/DOJ would be...big.

Because FLYNN'S HEARING IS TOMORROW MORNING AT 11:00AM ET.
Someone involved with the review of Flynn's prosecution - at DOJ or Flynn's attorneys - would be guilty of 18 U.S. Code § 1519. Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records.

20. Years. Prison.
It also appears as someone may have taken random texts - properly attributed to Special Agent Strzok - and jammed them into the pleading to dismiss Flynn's case.

They look weird. One is about Justin Bieber. Not making that up. You'll see.
REMINDER: Two of Flynn's attorneys withdrew as counsel last Wednesday, Sept 23.

Flynn's remaining attorneys filed a supplement to whine about why Flynn's innocent of the thing he pleaded guilty to twice on Thursday, Sept 24.
Flynn's attorneys: we know we got our asses handed to us by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, but HERE'S A BUNCH OF STUFF. "The Government" produced it! You know, "The Bill Barr Government," that one!
"41 pages of additional evidence demonstrate his innocence! Honest! Strzok and McCabe both thought Moscow Mike was TOTALLY NOT LYING ABOUT THE THING THEY HAD A GODDAMNED TRANSCRIPT OF THAT HE LIED ABOUT! Really!"
Flynn's attorneys just go right ahead and accuse the FBI and Mueller's team of major Federal felonies...and allege that being an unregistered agent of the Turkish dictator IS TOTALLY FINE WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO UPTIGHT???

Also, they say Flynn is a NATIONAL HERO! 😂🖕🖕🤣🖕
"They Knew Exactly How Bad It Was!"

Followed by texts...that don't even make sense, much less prove anything.

This will be in law school texts in five years as the shittiest logic in perhaps the worst pleading in criminal prosecution history.
Flynn's mouthbreathers claim that the FBI shut down any investigation OF THE FORMER HEAD OF A U.S. INTEL AGENCY KNOWN TO BE GIVING HOT OIL BACKRUBS TO RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE...the day of the election.

Before. Trump. Won. 🙃😂
Stalinist tactics, I tells ya!

And FBI Counterintelligence absolutely, clearly didn't think the Bureau should investigate THE EX-HEAD OF AN INTEL AGENCY WORKING FOR A FUCKING DICTATOR ALIGNED WITH PUTIN

YEAH I'M SURE THEY THOUGH IT WAS THE MOST NORMAL THING POSSIBLE.
And...these people supposedly are talking about Flynn? How come there's no text to that effect?

Because it seems to me they "found stuff" on Flynn. Who was TALKING ABOUT SENDING NUCLEAR TECH TO THE SAUDIS AT THE INAUGURATION. TEXTING ON THE DAIS.

So.
Attorneys. Any attorneys out there. Reading this. In pain.

Would. Any. First. Year. Law. Student. Be. Allowed. To. Submit. This. Writing. For. A. Class. Without. The. Professor. Stapling. It. To. Their. Forehead?
"They were trying very hard to pin something on General Flynn."

They had the transcript of Flynn's call FROM THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC with Kislyak. He lied about it. Then pleaded guilty.

They didn't need to try.
One asks one's self: if this case is so open and shut, why are attorneys quitting on a Wednesday and Flynn's guys stay up all night to file this last Thursday?
SO, WHAT DID THESE GUYS SUBMIT AS EXHIBITS THAT MAY BE ALTERED, THUS POTENTIALLY 20 YEARS IN PRISON?

#1: Texts between unnamed people...aware the Trump is Russia's bitch and that Obama didn't found ISIS.

Um. OK.
#2: If you didn't know this was submitted on behalf of Flynn...would these texts make you think it had anything to do with the guy?

Because you know what would have tough questions if it got FOIA'd? EVERYTHING THE FBI DOES, EVER. Which is why you need a FOIA. 🤪
#3: HA! YOU SEE! KATE IS WORKING ON SOME TIMELINE! I TOLD YOU! FLYNN IS INNOCENT! HE'S INNOCENT I TELL YOU wait who is Kate and how is any of this relevant to anything

we don't even know who's texting who

did they just fill up a spreadsheet with random shit?
"Shut down Razor" = FLYNN IZ INNOCENT!!!!! seems...premature...at best
OK, even if this were shutting down Crossfire Razor...it's not necessarily that they've stopped investigating Flynn for...everything. Like nuclear tech conspiracies. Turkish agent stuff. Other conspiracy with Russia.

Assuming that *these aren't altered.*
"Obama. Our president." "Do you like Justin Beiber"

HOW IS THIS AN EXHIBIT IN THIS COURT CASE?
Document 248-3 submitted by Flynn's team: The handwriting here is in different pen, different handwriting, and references dates...is this what Strzok claims was added after the fact?
Document 248-4: Different pen...margins...dates. 🧐
A! HA! THE SMOCKING GUN! SOMEBODY AT FBI THOUGHT TRUMP WAS AN ENORMOUS DOUCHE! THEREFORE MICHAEL FLYNN IS INNOCENT! QED!

oh. wait. no. FBI people worried about a VP picked by Manafort and a candidate screwing around with NATO sounding like he works for Putin.

Seems correct.
AHA! FBI COUNTERINTELLIGENCE WORRIED ABOUT A FRIEND OF RUDY "I am the Russian Mafiya's bitch" GIULIANI BEING PRESIDENT MIGHT BE A COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROBLEM wait actually doesn't that just seem like appropriate foresight?
AHA! FBI OPENED CROSSFIRE HURRICANE AND SOME AGENTS WERE TALKING ABOUT !!!!! wait that seems utterly normal given everything we've heard.

Also you can turn on #TheComeyRule in 9 minutes and see why they'd be discussing this.
By page 8, Flynn's attorneys have had their 49th cup of coffee, it's 3:46am and clearly they're just copying and pasting random shit for the court that does absolutely nothing to establish that Flynn didn't lie to the FBI about talking to the Russian ambassador.
Aaaand we end with the FBI texting each other about the Mueller investigation starting. With high morale and mutual respect.

END OF THREAD. FLYNN IS A TRAITOR. I look forward to the rest of his criminal charges to drop. </>
