Sidney Powell | Former Federal Prosecutor/ Daily Caller:
The Supreme Court held long ago in Brady v. Maryland that the Constitution requires the prosecution, which holds all the cards in a criminal case, to give the defense all evidence favorable to the defendant, whether it impeaches a witness, mitigates punishment or shows his innocence. Indeed, the burden is on prosecutors to find anything in the possession of the government that is favorable to the defense.
From the minute Judge Emmet G. Sullivan received the case against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, which will be decided on Tuesday, he ordered Mueller to provide the defense with all Brady material. Last week, Judge Sullivan specifically ordered Mueller to produce any FBI interview reports — called 302s — or memoranda relevant to the original interview of Gen. Flynn. Ironically, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley has been requesting the agents’ notes and 302s for two years. Did Mueller comply?
Remarkably, but not surprisingly to those who have read my book, Mueller has thumbed his nose at Judge Sullivan’s order. He produced only a 302 created by his own squad seven months later from his own agent’s interview of none other than the infamous, fired-for-bias, disgraced, Trump-loathing, former Agent Peter Strzok — the guy who swore he’d “stop” President Trump and devised “an insurance policy” with his mistress Lisa Page and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe in case Trump won the election. We are watching Mueller execute that insurance policy by the day.
The evidence indicates Mueller has destroyed or is suppressing Brady material. There was an original 302 created within five days — by FBI protocol — of the Jan. 24, 2016 ambush interview of General Flynn by two agents — Strzok and Special Agent Joe Pientka. It is mentioned in the Strzok-Page text messages and on page four of the recrafted 302 Mueller filed. Comey read the original 302 before he was fired.
It existed — as Grassley well knows. It was written by Agent Pientka, who also took extensive handwritten notes, whose name is redacted from Mueller’s filing, and who seems to have disappeared. Where are the original 302, his notes, and where is Agent Pientka? Grassley has been trying to get access to all three for almost two years.
Mueller’s filing confirms that Agent Pientka was assigned to take notes of the interview. Judge Sullivan’s order encompasses the production of those notes. Where are they? Were they destroyed despite Grassley’s longstanding request and Judge Sullivan’s original Brady order? The failure to produce them is another Brady violation that warrants the dismissal of the charges against Flynn and warrants holding Mueller and his team in contempt of court.
And no doubt Mueller is aware of other Brady material in the possession of the government. There are two important sets of information being withheld from the defense under the guise of classification. MORE HERE
I beginning to think our last hope is Judge Emmet Sullivan. I’m cheering for you Judge, I’m your biggest fan! Let’s Roll!
“None dare call it treason”……..I scream it from the roof tops.
These people need to be hung by the neck until dead, dead, dead.
Treasonous Colluders. Seditious Obstructionist. Lying, cheating Shysters.
When are we going to hear something from Inspector General Horowitz? US Attorney Huber? President Trump is being drained by a thousand cuts, while these two saviors stand aside and do nothing. Time to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the real criminals.
Mueller and Comey are FRAUDS! Look at Comey walk. He was a drywaller. He’s not tall…those are stilts!
Mueller is an undertaker and owns a chain of funeral homes.
If Mueller did what it seems likely he did, he violated the federal law against obstruction of justice. Specifically, 18 U.S. Code § 1519 – Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in Federal investigations and bankruptcy

A venerable, honored member of The Party. To tell the proles The Party’s all Good. Now. Again. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
I’m tired of trusting the plan. The tables need to be turned now!
@ Wits End…..
and what pray tell would that look like? Do not misunderstand, I agree…….

If Sullivan doesn’t step on Muller hard, all is lost. Trump needs to stop playing with the two headed snake before it bites him.
Anon: What are the legal alternatives? Fire Mueller and Rosenstein? Fire all the Assistant Attorneys in the Southern District of New York City? Have the Senate hold more hearings? March on Washington, D.C. with citizens armed to overthrow the Justice Department and the FBI? How about President Trump declassifying all the documents? How about President Trump ordering the NSA to release all of President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton’s missing emails? If something radical isn’t done soon, President Donald Trump is going to become a defendant in a dozen legal proceedings brought by the holdovers of the Obama/Clinton Insurance Company.
Now Mueller has committed a greater crime than any he’s been “investigating”.
Mueller, Comey, and a few others, are a couple motivated MoFo’s.
They’re heavily involved with U1. Ironically Mueller was over in Russia several times helping seal the deal. A primary reason they will do anything to un seat this President.
Hell Brad, didn’t Mueller personally deliver a sample to verify quality of product?

I’ve read that several places. Places I trust say he’s dirtier than hell. He sure as hell doesn’t mind ruining innocent people lives. This guys a miserable human being and going to hell. I hope he knows that before his demise. I bet he smells like sulfur.
Mueller disgraced his Career, rule of law, his Nation and the Corps.
Makes me question when he started selling out to political influence.
Makes me wonder what it took for him to sell his loyalty, honor, integrity, the Constitution and Law.
Cato, interesting thought. Maybe they turned him decades ago? What if he was a spy?

Because hiring and promoting the qualities you seek, is so — insanely — much more work.
America elected an immoral liberal in ’00! elections have meaning! Voting for liberal R is as bad or worse than liberal D! Proof: Brennan, Clapper, L. Lerner, Rod!
As I said before, a 4 Star General should know this…
NEVER SAY ANYTHING WITHOUT A LAWYER!
By God, this is the government we are talking about! What is wrong with these people?
Can’t think of a nicer Christmas gift than to see Bob Mueller convicted and imprisoned for obstruction of justice…
