Government prosecutor Joycelyn Ballantine filed an unexpected motion Sunday in the case against Michael Flynn for the express purpose of seeking to protect Flynn’s former defense team.
Yes, it’s true and in the prosecutor’s own words: Government prosecutors said in their filing they want “to make certain and clear that counsel [Covington & Burling] may take the necessary steps to vindicate their public reputation by addressing and defending against the defendant’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, and equally to vindicate the integrity of this Court’s previous proceedings, the government asks this court to issue the attached proposed order.”
Really? Now the US Attorney for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice are in the business of protecting and working to protect the “public reputation” of Covington & Burling—a well-known international law firm based in DC? Do the new United States Attorney Timothy Shea and Attorney General William Barr know that federal prosecutors—who had already identified a serious conflict of interest held by Covington in the Flynn case—are subjecting Flynn to more proceedings now to protect Covington? read more
So now we know they came from Mos Eisley Spaceport.
“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
Flynn forgot “We must be cautious.”
The prosecutors should be argued to have no standing to act as counsel for prior defense counsel. And, ipso facto, Flynn should win his motion for conflict of interest or ineffective assitance of counsel.
It’s almost — not quite, of course, but almost — like there’s only one Party.
“Continuance for his former legal team” They want time allowed to retrieve the knives they left dug in his back!
