Michael Flynn Seeks Total Exoneration

From Just the News:

In January, Powell filed a motion to withdraw Flynn's plea, which she contends was submitted on the advice of counsel who were “laboring under a severe conflict of interest” due to their previous representation of Flynn when he registered as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. 

Earlier this month, Attorney General William Barr appointed Jeff Jensen, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, to review the government's conduct in the Flynn prosecution. Powell is urging Jensen to demand to see the FBI’s original report of its interview with Flynn. The attorney says the FBI has stonewalled her requests to review the report, known as a 302, which she believes would serve as exculpatory evidence for her client. 

“They’re required to give us anything that’s favorable to the defense, and obviously they haven’t given us that for two years,” said Powell. “That alone would require dismissal of the case, for suppression of evidence.” 

Powell believes the original 302 was likely altered by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and is being hidden to cover up “egregious government misconduct.” Strzok, former counterespionage chief at the FBI, and former FBI lawyer Page were both removed from the Mueller investigation for anti-Trump bias revealed in a series of text messages the pair exchanged while deeply involved in the bureau's investigations into both Hillary Clinton's private email server and Russian meddling in the 2016 election. 

“You can’t look at the altered 302 and the agents’ notes and not realize that they inserted things in there that weren’t there before,” said Powell, author of Licensed to Lie, a book exposing overzealous federal prosecutors. (Read more.)
