'Targeted and taken out': Insider narrative emerges in Michael Flynn case


The first insider’s narrative on the travails of retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has been filed in federal court amid a battle over access to multiple pieces of evidence.

Flynn, convicted of lying to the FBI, had to sell his home to pay legal bills, says the narrative. Prosecutors threatened to go after his son and business partner, Michael Flynn Jr., unless he cooperated.

Sidney Powell wrote this story in a letter to Attorney General William P. Barr in June as she was taking over as defense counsel for the former White House national security adviser.

She immediately accused the government of withholding exculpatory evidence that would show prosecutors violated U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan’s order. Her motions essentially have been attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia election trespassing, though Flynn was convicted of lying to FBI agents on another matter.

The drama is set to play out at a hearing next month and sentencing in December. Meantime, Ms. Powell won the judge’s permission to reply to Mr. Van Grack with an extended brief that has been filed but not redacted for public viewing.

Sorry. But I don't feel sorry for this guy. He pled guilty to a crime he never committed. Bad enough he was falsely investigated and charged. Then you admit to something you didn't do?? COME ON MAN.

General Flynn is a patriot and hero, and if he goes to jail he will be a political prisoner.

God bless you, sir.

1:16-- think about this. Mueller has been given virtually unlimited power and he threatens to not only destroy your life but your son's also. And there is no question that he can and he will.

What do you do?

The entire case is a fraud. Like the headline said-- "Targeted and taken out." It was a hit to set up the President.

You don't know what you would do if you were in the same situation. This was his son.
