Mike Flynn is Back

For John, BLUF:  It is the old "the Government can lie to you, but you can't lie to the Government" story.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

How A Plea Reversal From Michael Flynn Could Uncover More Federal Corruption

Here is the sub-headline:

Did Robert Mueller’s office withhold other evidence in Michael Flynn’s prosecution, either from the FISA court or from Flynn’s attorneys?  There is reason to believe so.

From The Federalist, by Ms Margot Cleveland, 19 February 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

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.

Just a week ago, and thus before Sullivan quietly directed Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team to provide Flynn’s attorneys “any exculpatory evidence,” Washington Examiner columnist Byron York detailed the oddities of Flynn’s case.  The next day, former assistant U.S. attorney and National Review contributing editor Andrew McCarthy connected more of the questionable dots.  York added even more details a couple of days later.  Together these articles provide the backdrop necessary to understand the significance of Sullivan’s order on Friday.

Yes, Judge Emmet Sullivan is one of my heroes.
