Amazing what a little sunlight can accomplish

Former prosecutor George Parry has written a fascinating article on "graymail", and how it might work to Michael Flynn's advantage.

By the way, it looks like Flynn's new lawyer, Sidney Powell, is head and shoulders above his last team of shysters. Just imagine this:
Although he has pled guilty to a flimsy and corruptly contrived charge of lying to the FBI, that plea came about after he had — according to media reports — bankrupted himself by paying $4 million in legal fees to the Washington law firm that represented him prior to Powell. In short, it appears that Flynn pled guilty because he couldn’t afford any more justice.
So,the situation eventually boiled down to "the law firm’s impressive professional achievement of turning a mere guilty plea proceeding into a reported $4 million payday".

This is one of those crimes - the treatment of Flynn by the government and his own attorneys - calling out to heaven for vengeance.

Flynn had an active FISA warrant on him, that's two hops in communication. Flynn is probably our best spy and he didn't have any idea his lawyers were swamp? One hop Flynn to his lawyers next hop lawyers to Andrew Weissman. It seems someone wrote a book on prosecutorial corruption starring Weissman. Our own Sidney Powell. I smelled a trap when Mueller put the team together, but not for Flynn.

Flynn was framed then forced into a guilty plea by threat of bankruptcy. Ham sandwich legal system indeed! We need to rename the Dept. of Justice to something a bit more in keeping with its actual behavior.
