9 lawyers?!

That 'HQ Special' tho

if you want to stay out of the hoosegow, don't talk to LE without a lawyer present.

non-custodial interrogatories are optional, too bad Flynn was too dumb or too proud to take that into account.

he could have said no thanks.

furthermore, if there was some problem with the questioning, his lawyers could have raised it initially in a motion to dismiss.

instead, they counseled Flynn to plead guilty.

Judge Sullivan's skepticism about the 302s might cut both ways.

DOJ has never had the opportunity to write its own explanation for what happened with Flynn’s interview. By inviting a reply specifically in the context of this Flynn claim, Sullivan has given DOJ the opportunity to do just that, finally.

DOJ may have a very interesting explanation for why they approached a counterintelligence interview with a guy they might have considered one of them with jocularity.

Sure, there may yet be damning details. As I’ve said, I really look forward to learning why it took seven months to formally memorialize this interview.

But the GOP has been looking for a smoking gun for a year and have not apparently found one. It’s quite possible we’ll learn something else tomorrow, that Mike Flynn actually got special treatment that none of us would get if we were suspected of being recruited by Russian intelligence.

At the very least, Sullivan’s order may result in do entation that reveals just how shoddy all the claims irregularity surrounding Flynn’s interview have been all this time.

Update: Elevating this from pinc’s comment. If DOJ chooses to tell a story that at all resembles Greg Miller’s account of the meeting (including that Flynn specifically said he didn’t want to have a lawyer of any type present), then this could spectacularly backfire.

Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Danik, who spent more than 28 years with the bureau, as a supervisor in the counter-terrorism division and special overseas advisor, says he's now fighting to ensure that the American people get the truth about what allegedly happened inside the FBI during the investigation into former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Danik, who recently retired and says he has taken on pro-bono work to help FBI whistle blowers, told Circa he is frustrated by what he sees as failure in the bureau's leadership. He says he is concerned that the FBI is keeping necessary information from the American people regarding the bureau's investigations into Clinton's email server and how it was handled by officials in the bureau. He submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in October 2016, on current Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

And her other source?

For friends of Flynn, and Flynn’s family, the last two years have been grueling and they are hopeful this new information may lead the judge to overturn Flynn’s conviction. It wouldn’t be too much to hope for since Sullivan has done so in the past. He overturned the 2008 conviction of former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens after when government misconduct was exposed. Now he is overseeing Flynn’s case.Former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Robyn Gritz, who met Flynn in 2005, when she was working in the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division in Washington D.C., said: “it is so very painful to watch an American hero, and my friend, torn apart like this.”
“His family has had to endure what no family should have to,” said Gritz, who has had her own long battle with the FBI and McCabe. “The publicly reported Brady material alone, in this case, outweighs any statement given by and FBI agents, we now know at least one FD-302 was changed…Quite simply, I cannot see justice being served by branding Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn a convicted felon, when the truth is still being revealed while policies, ethics, and laws have been violated by those pursuing the case.”

"overturn" his "conviction"

He ing pled guilty

lol Sara Carter, still grifting and hacking and bookmarked by dumb s like TSA
