Mike Flynn Lawyers Urge Court Intervention for Clearance to View Potentially Exculpatory Classified Files

Epoch Times:

The attorneys for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn called for a court intervention on Aug. 30 as the government continues to deny them security clearances required to view classified documents which they say likely contain exculpatory information.

“Our attempts to resolve that issue with the government have come to a dead-end, thus requiring the intervention of this Court,” the attorneys for Flynn state in a status report filed on Aug. 30.

“Our client held the highest security clearance the government provides. We know—but not in any detail because of our lack of clearance—that he briefed and debriefed the DIA [Defense Intelligence Agency] about his foreign contacts and travel. All that material is relevant to the charges against him, and it is most likely Brady [exculpatory] material to boot.”

In response to Flynn’s claims, the prosecutors said that they have not provided any classified information to the defense and that “the government is not aware of any classified information that requires disclosures to the defendant or his counsel.”

The latest development in the case comes after Flynn fired his original defense team and retained a team led by Sydney Powell, an attorney known for her criticism of the Justice Department.

The judge in the case ordered the defense and the prosecution to file a status report on Aug. 30 to brief the court on the status of Flynn’s cooperation, whether the case is ready for sentencing, suggested dates for the sentencing and “any issues that would require the Court’s resolution prior to sentencing.” In the status report, the defense and the prosecution said they didn’t agree on any of the items and filed separate responses.

  1. They might allow people like Flynn off because they’ve already cleared the people they intended to clear, the truly guilty ones.

    Justice is fallen in the street among an unrighteous people too fat and blinded to care. We are ruled by invincible lawyers, not laws. No nation is long to survive that intact.

  3. Uncle Al. It is a thing of beauty.
    Since J. Sullivan was the one who started the Brady rule he has to rule in S. Powell’s favor or he will be reversing his own rule,she is going to win this one.
