Buckle Up!
On Friday, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order in United States v. Flynn that, while widely unnoticed, reveals something fascinating: A motion by Michael Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely in the works.
Summarizing whats happened so far:
1. In November, Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI. The very next day, Flynn pleads guilty in front of Judge Contreras.
2. One week later, without explanation, Contreras is removed from the case. The case is reassigned to Emmet Sullivan. (We later learned that Contreras was friends with Strojk, and Strojk was going to meet with him on Flynn at a dinner party as to not arise suspicion of what he was doing. )
3. Sullivan immediately orders a Brady Order. This is nothing unusual for Sullivan, he does this for all of this cases. But in this case Flynn had already pled guilty. It is extremely rare (unheard of) for a judge to order the prosecution to turn everything over to the defense (Brady Order) after a plea is entered. Sullivan smells a rat in the prosecution. More importantly, Sullivan is moving into a precedent area. Sullivan is saying that if the prosecution holds a plea deal, and fails to reveal evidence to the defense, the defense may withdraw their plea.
4. On Wednesday, Muellers team decides not to fight Sullivan on this, and comes up with a protective order so that Flynn cant disclose evidence they are handed over.
5. The article points out that there will be known bombshells in this evidence. Evidence that McCabe and Comey both testified under oath that Flynn didnt lie. But it may also reveal other bombshells, such as collusion/coordination between Sally Yates and Peter Strojk.
6. The order says that the prosecution must turn over every bit of evidence that is identified as being helpful to Flynn. But Sullivan also ordered that any evidence that Mueller doesnt think needs to be turned over must be turned over to Sullivan so he can independently rule whether it goes to Flynn or not.
So what can we garner from this? Easy. Mueller will have to turn everything over. There will be overwhelming evidence of lying, collusion, and malfeasance on the part of Muellers team. (We already have seen proof of this.) Sullivan will then rip Muellers team a new one, and Flynn will walk free.
