It has to do, Sullivan said, with examining and preventing “corrupt dismissals against politically well-connected criminal defendants.”
And that’s ALL it has to do with, really. If Barr hadn’t intervened on Trump’s behalf, Flynn would already have been sentenced.
Feedback mute the speaker sound at doj site.
Sidney Powell is putting in her two cents.
Unsurprisingly, she’s trolling.
I’m listening in and they are having terrible technical issues.Taking a 30 minute recess to try to reset everything.
“All connections are fine. Problem is the corrupt statements of the DOJ. Equipment seems to have a problem with them.”
Channel 4 News has exclusively obtained a vast cache of data used by Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign on almost 200 million American voters.
It reveals that 3.5 million Black Americans were categorised by Donald Trump’s campaign as ‘Deterrence’ – voters they wanted to stay home on election day.
Tonight, civil rights campaigners said the evidence amounted to a new form of voter “suppression” and called on Facebook to disclose ads and targeting information that has never been made public.
When the law is on your side, pound the law. When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If you’ve got nothing else, pound the table. After that, set up a feedback loop on your phone and hope the judge postpones.
That picture - Trump saying "this guy’s gonna be my cellmate! Flynn responding, “yeah, guess where this fist is going!”
Ah, they accidentally dialed in on the phone connected to the lie-detector machine.
I would have thought the judge or his tech people would have enough power to mute everyone’s phones for them, then force the participants to raise their objections (if available) by holding up their hands. Like good children.
Well Barr and the president, of course. Marcy at ‘Emptywheel’ has been covering this extensively. For instance, how does the DOJ enter into evidence meeting notes dated the day before the meeting took place; corruption or stupidity? And I don’t think Sullivan is stupid.
No, but DoJ has been working double time to push him into becoming complicit in their scheme and, so, corrupt.
I don’t think he’s not going to go along with it.
And what little chance there is further diminishes as a Biden victory becomes more certain.
I can’t watch the stream right now. I hope all this emphasis on ‘not a rubber stamp’ isn’t just to make a point before dismissing the charges. If that’s his whole crusade, lame.
It was the bullsh*t meter, not the lie detector.
FIFY
Hope not. If it was the bullshit meter, they’re going to have to reset the grid for the entire city to reboot that one. Gonna be a lot of pissed off folks.
Have they started back yet? No updates, but I know those lag.
They should try Sidney Powell first; she makes enough whine to see if the grind is set correctly.
The filing was first noticed by Offshore Alert, a website covering offshore banking, after an editor there was able to quickly grab it from the website of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia before it was sealed. The document is no longer publicly available in the federal PACER court system, and a search for its case number brings up a sealed docket.
“I’m in and out of PACER all day and just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” Offshore Alert editor David Marchant told The Daily Beast in an email. “I believe the document was available only for a matter of minutes.”

“On February 27, 2020, Burkman and his associate, Jacob Wohl, held a press conference during which they disseminated copies of the juror questionnaires,” the filing reads. “During that press conference, Burkman and Wohl did not provide the manner by which they obtained the court documents other than to say neither Roger Stone nor Stone’s legal team provided them.”
The court filing also notes that Burkman published some of the confidential questionnaires on Twitter.
“On or about February 20, 2020, John M. Burkman, Jr. (a/k/a Jack Burkman) released via his Twitter account (@Jack_Burkman) a sample of juror questionnaires filled out by jurors in the matter of U.S. v. Roger Stone,” the filing reads. “Continuing from on or about February 20, 2020, a series of tweets were sent from the @Jack_Burkman Twitter account which contained additional confidential juror questionnaires and derogatory characterizations about the jurors themselves. Burkman also claimed to have a transcript of the grand jury testimony of Steve Bannon.”
Those actions could potentially qualify as crimes, according to prosecutors.
“Based on the facts above, the FBI assesses Burkman and Wohl may have been engaged in an attempt to influence or injure the jurors, as well as tampering with potential witnesses before the court,” the filing reads. “As part of its continued investigation, [the] FBI is seeking to determine with whom Wohl was in contact at the time of jury selection in order to help determine the possible vector by which Wohl and/or Burkman obtained the juror questionnaires.”
''There isn’t a case." Can anyone outside of Trumpland say that with a straight face when the defendant PLEAD GUILTY?
He plead guilty multiple times.
