He tossed out all of Powell’s motions, scheduled the sentencing, and just to top it off, in dicta, accused her of plagiarism and essentially threatened to file a complaint with the DC Bar against her.
Doubtful but we shall see. Flynn is not responsible for his lawyer’s shenanigans and I expect based on Sullivan’s record he can distinguish between the two.
If you read it really closely, you can see that in the 90-odd pages of the opinion, there’s not a single word that Flynn could interpret as “good news”.
Sullivan definitely slapped both Flynn and his lawyer today. I think “pissed” might be a good description.
Someone needs to gag Flynn and his lawyer until they come back for sentencing. Each time they open their mouth, they seem to shoot themselves in the foot.
From the order, in reference to Flynn’s 50 Brady requests:
To evaluate Mr. Flynn’s requests, the Court divides them into six categories, acknowledging that there is some overlap within certain categories: (1) information that does not exist; (2) information that is not within the government’s possession; (3) information that Mr. Flynn concedes he is not entitled to; (4) information that the government has already provided to Mr. Flynn; (5) information that is unrelated to the charges against Mr. Flynn in this case or to his sentencing; and (6) remaining requests.
