More on the Flynn case

[Conager]

He's got to be disappointed that he can't crowdsource other people to write his research paper.

 

[Rightguide]

It's within the Federal rules to do this since there's no irreversible emergency that a short delay will create.

I'm just disappointed that the appeals court didn't look at the law and order the dismissal. The way it looks now is that Sullivan has to hoist himself on his own petard to explain why he's not following established precedent or law. Which raises the question of what is the appeals court going to do when Sullivan does that? Or what are they going to do if he doesn't?

I think what the court has said is, answer the motion to dismiss and do it in ten days. Meaning, forget all of this other nonsense and end the case according to the rules and applicable case law.

 

[Conager]

I don't think it's quite that directive. I think it's answer Flynn's concerns, explain what you're doing and explain why you should not be replaced.

ETA:
I didn't realize the significance of a judge being required to explain the above^

Look at 5ge update with a twitter thread by an appellate lawyer, John M. Reeves :

Republicans have questioned why Michael Flynn's name was "unmasked," or revealed in an FBI report, but it turns out it was never masked in the first place.


Obamagate = Bullshit

Diminish and Defeat

Practice social distancing from Democrats. Flatten the liberal curve to the ground. Vote ALL Democrats OUT of local/national politics.

 

[Conager]

Wrong Element got his talking points on that yesterday. He did not understand that makes the offenses worse, not more innocuous.

You are a day late and a trashed talking point short.

I don’t think you understand the meaning of Liberalism.

Yes he was. Several times by multiple people. The fact that there was no "unmasking request" re. the phone conversation with the Russian ambassador not withstanding.

Spin it anyway you want, this is only going to get worse for the previous admin folks.

This is what Adre is referring to ...

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/flynn-not-masked-report-on-key-calls-with-russian-ambassador

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s name was not actually masked in a key document detailing his calls with the Russian ambassador in late 2016, Fox News has confirmed.

A congressional source familiar with the surveillance told Fox News that Flynn’s name was not redacted in the initial report about his calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and that his name from the unredacted transcript of the calls was then leaked to the press.

The timeline of that activity already strongly suggested that the numerous, recently revealed requests to "unmask" Flynn pertained to other reports. The source noted that Flynn’s calls with Kislyak took place during the presidential transition period on Dec. 22, 2016 and Dec. 29, 2016. The source then noted that a majority of the known Flynn unmasking requests from top Obama officials came prior to Flynn’s calls with Kislyak on those dates.

 

[phrodeau]

Flynn was never masked, like Trump in the White House.

So many threads were made. So many little sausages were perked up in anticipation for this big-ass ball to drop.

You guys have been stroking to a nut that hasn't busted since forever. That's sorta commendable if you're going for stamina training, but...

Trump knows he can blow that racist whistle and all the deplorables will come running.

 

[bellisarius]

I wonder if anyone has connected this outpouring of declassified material with the fact that we are now entering high political season?

Timing is everything.

 

[Adre]

As I said yesterday, they’re dreaming dreams of prosecutions that will never happen. Zero indictments of Obama Administration members in an eight year term. The RWCJ can’t seem to process this.

Here’s something else they can’t seem to process. Why is McSally getting thrashed in Arizona? That’s what they ought to be thinking about.

I think it's partly this as well as the fact that the impeachment debacle is over. Trump couldn't do anything while that was going on because politics and optics. Now that the Schiff Show is over, those obstacles are gone.

The release of information didn't immediately follow because CV got in the way. Now that we've got a handle on that, the info dumps to inform and enlighten the people about what really happened are beginning.

Actually I predicted that this is when the data dumps would start and when the deposition of various former admin officials would begin. Nunes, Gowdy, and others were aware of all this back in 2017-2018 but couldn't say anything because of the classified nature of the documents. They could allude to the events but could say nothing of any substance. The point here is that those documents could have been declassified back then just as easily.

Timing is everything.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Is the Schiff Show ever over?

 

[bellisarius]

It is with interest that I note that in one of their arguments before the SCOTUS that the dems stated that they needed the information under dispute for their "impeachment investigation." I wonder how that's going to sit with the court?

Graham is saying that Obama and Biden won't be called to testify before Congress. That's because the deep state protects its own.

Laying it out AND putting the best spin possible on it, what we get is this:

Comey captured the Dec 28th call with Kislyak. In violation of the law, he didn't mask Flynn's name. Then he leaked it.

On Jan 5th, Obama had Comey and others stay after the daily briefing. At that point in time Obama KNEW about the Flynn call. Also, at that point in time, there had been ZERO requests to unmask the US citizen in the call. Obama, who is the chief executive, did NOTHING to prevent Comey from continuing with his illegal actions. Nor did he initiate anything to investigate what had happened. What he did was allow Comey to CONTINUE doing what he was doing.

We KNOW this because of the Susan Rice memo to the file.

Obama might not have actively participated in the illegalities that were going on, but he didn't prevent them either. As Comey's boss he bears the weight of responsibility for whatever Comey does, as a participant if the deeds are done with Obama's knowledge. However, consent isn't required. All consent does is make Obama a co-conspirator.

Remember, I'm laying this out in the light most favorable to Obama.

In this case, Obama didn't actively give Comey the go ahead. That removes him from being a participant. However, as Comey's boss, he had an obligation to prevent Comey from committing further illegalities. He did not. That shows he is someone who aided and abetted a crime as an Accessory After The Fact.


The real truth is that Obama became a co-conspirator when he agreed with Comey continuing to conceal vital national security information from the incoming administration. 18 US 371 prohibits hindering the legitimate functioning of the government.

Yet, Congress isn't going to call him to testify and ask him why.

That is certainly one way of looking at it. I see it differently, in the light of political reality. Should Biden be called in it will look like a political lynching. You'll hear screams of "Banana Republic" that won't end.

Regarding Obama, he's going to get sprayed with the shit that the hearings will bring out. Some commentators have suggested that Trump pardon Obama. I happen to agree with that notion AFTER as much is brought to the light of day as possible. Which is the lesser of two evils, to have been impeached and found not guilty, or to have been pardoned for your crimes?

Sydney Powell has filed for an emergency writ to block Sullivan's amicus order and dismiss the case. They also want Sullivan to recuse himself and have the case assigned to a different judge for the dismissal.
