JUST IN: Judge Sullivan in the FLYNN case is ordering DOJ to certify under penalty of perjury by Monday that no other documents were altered.

Sullivn says these documents are typically accepted at face value but DOJ has already acknowledged two crucial documents were altered — inadvertently, they say — in ways that supported the case for dismissal.

Sullivan is also asking DOJ to produce transcripts of handwritten documents, which could short-circuit some efforts by the Flynn team to interpret ambiguous scrawlings in the most favorable possible way.
