General Michael Flynn’s lawyers have formally accused agents in the upper echelon of the FBI and the Justice Department (DOJ) of railroading the onetime national security advisor.
They allege DOJ prosecutor Brandon Van Grack cut a backroom deal with Flynn’s former defense team not to prosecute Flynn’s son — despite threatening Flynn with that prospect.
The filing by Flynn attorneys Sidney Powell and Jesse Binnall states that the government suppressed this exculpatory evidence until April 24.
But that’s not all.
Per Townhall:
Flynn’s new brief alleges that federal agents hid evidence, conspired to create crimes for Flynn, conspired to get him fired, made baseless threats, engaged in unlawful side deals, and then attempted to cover it all up. Forgive me for the language, but this is some KGB-level sh*t. Sometimes there’s no better way to say something than to call it as it is. The Flynn prosecution sounds like something out of a Putin-playbook. When did the FBI turn into the KGB?
“[P]artisan FBI and DOJ leaders conspired to destroy Mr. Flynn … deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution knowing there was no crime by Mr. Flynn,” his defense team wrote boldly yet reservedly. Had Flynn kept his prior lawyers, who pled him guilty to the bogus accusations, we would have never known that FBI and DOJ officials played KGB games with unsuspecting Americans. Powell and Binnall have exposed government abuses of power that we have only previously seen in movies — “corrupt agents at the top of the FBI.” Flynn’s new defense team achieved the seemingly impossible: they drilled a hole in the Iron Curtain that has shielded the deep state from public scrutiny, giving us a peek at the “public servants” acting as unscrupulous puppeteers of our justice system.
According to The Federalist’s source, an FBI official, the documents produced to Flynn’s team “will reflect poorly on the FBI.” Well, talk about an understatement! America is not a playpen for the FBI, Mr. Secret Agent Man!
…
Michael Flynn publicly declared his innocence after hiring the new defense team. “I am innocent of this crime, and I request to withdraw my plea,” is the essence of the Declaration he filed back in January. In it, he explains what happened and why. He took the plea because his former lawyers conveyed legal threats from the FBI and DOJ, “charges against me, my son, as well as the potential of a long term prison sentence.” A 15-year prison sentence, his lawyers said, plus “the Manafort treatment.” Flynn was intimidated by the dire prospects and did what he was advised by counsel to do in order to preserve his son’s freedom — he plead guilty. His former lawyers told him what to say and how to say it, and Flynn did as he was advised by the people he trusted. Little did he know, Flynn’s lawyers had other interests at heart, conflicting interests, to be precise.

Full pardon and restitution of legal expenses, along with damages. Worst travesty of justice in my lifetime.
Full restitution from the pockets of the guilty of this travesty, NOT the taxpayers. The corrupt need to pay!
Absolutely AGREE.
This is what I call BROWN SHIRT behavior. We saw it in Germany under Hitler. And we saw it in the “shutdown” during Obama, where government officials obeyed illegal orders and shut down memorials that had no gates or locks. So what do you do when those in authority obey illegal orders and arrest and jail the innocent. Like the Federal judge did Kim Davis, when she was obeying the law. Did that judge face any punishment? Of course not. Just like Hillary has not seen the inside of a jail.
All we have left is that GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES WHEN HE JUDGES.
AMEN TO THAT!!!!
DO NOT TRY TO NEW YORK US. Guilty should pay for what they did. Congress should pay for what they do also. Put some skin in the game and a lot of the stupid things demonrats come up with would stop… If they do not work for the people, fire them…. Special Interest Groups should not be allowed. Clean bills in the future only. Make this a law.
FREE Flynn and go after the liars in this case and then Free Roger Stone. ? From the desk of Rick and Kara the Patriots.
I agree ? go after the crooks.
Absolutely.
Like you, I’m sick and tired of paying for Democrats “witch hunts” that have done nothing but cost millions of dollars. Now, it looks like Nancy is taking out loans from Social Security to pay for her poor decisions.
I agree! Restitution needs to be paid to General Flynn, knot by the tax payers, but by the guilty! They have been just like the KGB! Needs to be cleaned up the guilty need to be punished. HARSHLY!
Flynn needs to be freed, exhonorated, repaid with ‘pain and suffering’ compensation. AND the creeps who set him up.need to go to gitmo.
There needs to be visible justice, anything less than gitmo puts the perps high up on the purge list.
It is time to shut down the fbi. Remove all agents and start over. They are as corrupt as the kgb.
Any of them who protect the others in any way are also corrupt!
Agree
And the SS put together. They are part of operation Paperclip, the ***** the Dulles brought to America after WWII. Same playbook, same evil.
Agreed….and jail time for the perps.
IMPLICATFULL PARDON. LOSS OF ATTORNEY/DOJ STAFF CERTIFICATIONS/LICENSES
WITH FINES AND PRISON SENTENCES.
Totally agree! Prison time etc for sure! Full restitution with DAMAGES paid by all who were involved or knew but didn’t whistleblow!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU AND ALL AT THE TOP OF THE FBI MUST LOSE THEIR JOBS AND ALL THEIR FEDERAL BENEFITS?
No retirement benefits and any book deal income is to go to the victim.
Maybe second worst travesty of Justice, Trumps treatment was far worse ! Collusion,
Obstruction, Stormy, impeachment, etc, but
NOTHING sticks! Clean out Dept of Justice,
FBI, CIA – Lock them ALL up for LIFE ! The whole way up to OBUMMER and his administration.
Agree …But the Lion;s share of the restitution should come directly from the pockets of the Mueller team and the scum at the top of the FBI and DOJ. Next they all should be indicted from subversion and locked up. Holder, Rice, Clinton and Obama.
Yes.
And refoke his former defense lawyers for the rotten things they did to him. Very unprofessional…
Yes, and it needs to come out of the culprits pocket, NOT the taxpayer.
Jail time, and revocation of lawyer licenses for any aall who conspired in this tavesty of justice.
A pardon is not enough. Flynn must be completely EXONERATED from the charges.
FYI – Pardon and exoneration are not the same thing.
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2020, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).
The government needs to make him whole again.
The corrupt people THEMSELVES should pay!
NO, the DEEP State does, from PERSONAL funds, not taxpayer funds.
PLEASE! Do NOT compare the FBI with the former KGB. It is an insult to even think the FBI ever had the skill and competence of the Committee for State Security. Not even the FSB has developed the skills yet; they keep getting caught every couple of months, as does the CIA, FBI and even the NSA keeps getting nailed.
In 2016 that’s exactly what they were. Kgb
This makes me sick! These SOB’s need to pay. God Bless General Flynn!
Amen
This level of behavior has evolved over a long period of time starting with J EDGAR HOOVER himself. The more they have been able to get away with through the years, the more confidence they gained to get away with even more. Modern means of communication and investigation by legal teams and independent investigators has blown this balloon of cover-up to shreds. It is about time. If the major players within the FBI are not prosecuted, it will wind up being just another back room deal from the same old play book.
God bless all who are defending our veteran hero Mr.Flynn. And god bless America and president Trump!
Flynn is not the only one—by far! The DOJ has been using these same tactics for years against regular Americans and American companies. To drive leftist agendas they raided the Gibson guitar company and confiscated their lawfully obtained inventory. They threatened to ruin a friend of mine’s exotic fish business claiming a man he’d never met accused him of an illegal transaction. Oh, and his supposed accuser had died, and was the sole witness. The DOJ threatened him with 29 years in prison and a court fight that would bankrupt him.
They do this routinely. Any defense attorney that handles these cases can give you scores of examples.
Mike, have your excellent attorneys seek the indictment of these criminal federal agents and prosecutors, sue them for monetary damages so large they will wish they were never born and seek the indictment of Chris Wray, the profoundly useless current head of the FBI. Then sue the Democrat politicians that have used you for their own purposes the last few years without ANY basis.
It’s called “qualified immunity” — you can’t sue a federal prosecutor of “law enforcement” officer. The case would be thrown out of court long before it even got to court.
That”s only the prosecutor. False witness is vulnerable.
Put them on the list for the purge.
This immunity bullshit isn’t carrying well with real Americans.
Qualified immunity only applies when a prosecutor performs his/her duties FAITHFULLY, within the boundaries of the law. Once prosecutors exceed their authority, or violate the law on a case then they CAN be sued for “prosecutorial misconduct.”
Finding out what happened to gen Flynn is not surprising. If a person looks back at what the Obama administration did to the rancher in Nevada. there was little news coverage of. The same thing was done to mr Bundy. I haven’t heard of any charges brought up against any one for doing the same thing.
Ordered by another dictatorial tyrant, named Harry Reid. He was working with HIS SON on a business deal with the CHINESE. So why is Harry Reid not in jail? The whole system, complete with judges, is corrupt. IF God does not intervene as per II Chronicles 7:14, then we will have to have a revolution.
You FBI guys who are reading this, NO I AM NOT GOING TO BE FIGHTING. I am 71 years old and in poor health and having to put up with medicare.
My father, Ret Colonel Joseph L Campbell served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He served his country with distinction and honor. The treatment of General Flynn is reprehensible and dishonorable. General Flynn served his country with distinction and honor. President Trump give us back our country with distinction and honor. WWG1WGO
Thank God for Sidney Powell…I’m hoping he is compensated and that the perpetrators go to jail.. This was so wrong.. and how about disbarring his previous attorney?
Bring in the low level rats first. Get them to squawk or face 30 years in GITMO. By the time you get to the leaders like Pelosi, Clinton, Schumer, etc. we will have enough evidence to hang them!
Full clearance of any crime, getting his job back and reinstatement. All monies lost as a result of this BS arrest and case should be fully reimbursed by Mueller, who received the $25+M from the taxpayers!!!
You don’t understand. They are just taking orders from their DEMOCRAT bosses. Here is a list of those BROWN SHIRTS who obey orders.
Lois Lerner
Janet Napolatano
Brown
Schumer
Pelosi
Rubio
Susan Collins
and McConnell with a voting record of 28% conservative. So why do even conservative news sites call him conservative?
Robert Müeller, Jim Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Rob Rosenstein, and Andrew McCabe have ushered in the new level of competency, integrity, honesty, transparency and trust to the FBI.
sarcasm at it’s best…thanks, Grizz Mann
Hey Grizzman, had me a little worried, as I usually agree with what you say! So please for an ole ladies sake add (sarc) at the end.
Prosecute All corrupt agents, Free Flynn, Return ALL Expenses for all PHONY Incidents.
Amen and Amen to all these suggestions. And then go after the top tier in government
who not only allowed, but frequently benefited from these abuses of power.
This is so shameful. The FBI set out to destroy the lives of Trump loyalists. Every one of those FBI agents from top to bottom involved in the weaponizing of the agency should be in jail.
If they get charged and convicted there’s no chance that they’ll get sent to a really tough prison. They’ll serve some light sentence in a Federal Hilton like at Maxwell AFB mowing lawns and picking up litter under minimum supervision. I’ve witnessed some of the white collar criminals at Maxwell and they had it really super easy. Justice in America isn’t ever equal.
How much lawn do they have at gitmo?
Do not hold your breath. They are so entrenched and in bed with the whole Communist leaning people in our Government. We have to find ways to make them pay and pay good. I am 79 yrs old and would love to see these crooks pay. We need some young lawyers that are smarter then these Communists. Come on you lawyers out there !! Speak up and help save our Country
Let’s get on with it and put the culprits in jail. The time for talk is over. No one cares about the reasons why, A happened to B, and C was going over to Z. We’ve lived through it all, and we want to see justice done. Simple.
This is an example of the swamp (democrats and life long bureaucrats) in action. Remember, nothing like a crisis to put forth our values: Smaller government and bureaucracy/regulation reduction. A Perfect time to fire 30% or more of the swamp. We hardly need them.
I am creating an honest regular payment from home $1200-$2500/week , that is wonderful, beneath a year past i used to be idle in a very frightful economy. I give thanks God daily i used to be endowed these directions and currently it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with everybody, Here…………. http://www.hitprofit1.com
Total OBSOLVEMENT of all charges against FLYNN and NEW CHARGES AGAINST THE F B I AND DOJ FOR THIS RAIL ROAD JOB! ARREST THE ONES INVOLVED IN THIS LYING CROOKED ASSAULT ON THIS HONORABLE GENERAL AND BRING THEM INTO THIS COURT TO REPLACE THE GENERAL! RETROBUTION CALLED FOR HERE FOR SURE!
NO…NO….NO……
First FIRE Wray, the FBI chief….Give the post to someone, just like Durham…More NONSENSE WILL COME OUT. arrest people like him….. & then pardon Flynn……
Now nothing the FBI did was our of order as far as the law goes, everything you mention here is done at some time or other by every law enforcement agency in the USA and in the Free World. Now the only crime that Flynn is charged with is lying to a Federal Agent, all the other BS mentioned here is irrelevant, just flynn wasting a lot of money on lawyers to stir the pot to make the FBI look like lawless crooks which Trump has been doing since he took office. The FBI is the ones who investigate Corporate crime and i do think according to the records they have investigated Trump 7 times before he became President for his shady dealings, and just like now Trump always waqlked away thrrowing someone else under the bus.
Yeah, your that troll Trump hater! You are so full of it you belong in cuba or better yet venezuela. China if they’d take ya. You spew the same BS, we have all heard time and again! Your as bad a liar as the pigloise! Fit right in with nad, bug eyes, mad max ans all the hags mobsters. must get paid alot to be such a A/H!
There is no more USSR. There is no more KGB. Russia is an increasingly Christan nation, and Mr. :Putin is an unapologetically Christian leader. I wish people would stop evoking the ghost of a system that died in 1991.
Other than that, right on! Gen. Flynn should be pardoned, and aggressively sue.
We have been warned against foreign communist trolls posting on these pages in an attempt to distort our thinking about calling evil good and good evil.
KGB level? No they are far worse than the KGB ever dreamed about! The second largest criminal organization in the world (FBI & DOJ) is more akin to North Korean or the CCP secrete police!!!!!
Shame on us as a NATION! We are: One Nation under God! Those people are Christians! How could they ever took part in doing those kind of UNLAWFUL GODLESS (Void of Conscience) SHAMFUL THINGS? We should take away their Citizenship, that means withdrew their Voting Privileges! When one abuses SOMETHING, that SOMEHITNG will be TAKEN AWAY!
LOTS OF GITMO PRISON TIME for those who acted unConstitutionally towards Flynn.
ROPE – LOTS OF ROPE for those who gave the orders to carry out the unConstitutional acts.
The corrupt like James Comey Andrew Mcabe Rob Rosenstein Peter Stzrok Adam Schiff James Brennan and James Clapper all need to be made to pay. They all knew the truth yet continued to press various investigations . Make them void their pensions and seize their bank accounts as I’m sure they have direct deposit . Furthermore I’d seizes their homes . Sfterall they bankrupted Mile Flynn . Give them
M a taste of their own medicine .
President Trump, fire Christopher wray! He is part of the problem and still trying to cover up all the crimes committed by the fbi, doj, and CIA. A complete cleanse of these departments are mandatory! If no one is charged, and processes aren’t changed this Will continue to happen. Flynn had/has a spotless record covering 30 years of service, and the have destroyed his life. They must pay, gitmo seems to nice. We have to take control of our republic, before it’s to late. Mueller needs to be prosecuted also, he knew the information was made up, and went forward anyway. He should have to pay us back for the whole investigation. It’s time!
Not only should the FBI,DOJ, SHOULD go to Jail and lose their Govt. Benifits, but he defence attorney’s lose their license to practice law.
Charge and try all members of FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc., associated with this and Russiagate (to include those plannig and financing…Clinton and DNC, and law firm arranging it). If found guilty, loss of government pensions and benefits, law licenses at a minimum. Plus prison time. approriate for the level of crime. The punishment should be severe and also serve as a deterrent for future government criminals.
So it’s the ‘F#€!<ed'-up Bureau of Investigation' now…under the 'O'bongo/Bathhouse' regime, that should come as no big surprise? Look at what that 'chimp' did to the 'Intelligence' service!
