WELL, that was a hell of a hearing. I'll be putting this all together for the @dailybeanspod and will drop the episode first thing tomorrow morning (tonight for patrons). Overall? That didn't go well for Powell. And she's an idiot. Topline takeaways:
1. Neither the court OR the DoJ seem to want to prevent future prosecutors from bringing charges against Flynn for FARA violations and the multitude of other lies he told the FBI.
2. Flynn's lawyers and the DoJ seem to think the court always has to do what the executive branch wants and Gleeson says that's stupid because it is.
3. Sydney Powell wrote a LETTER to Barr trying to get him to appoint new prosecutors that would be sympathetic to Flynn
4. Powell lied about how many times she met with the president about the case and also tried to invoke executive privilege which she can't do.
5. The DoJ is playing whack-a-mole with idiotic "evidence they keep trying to concoct
6. Sullivan was "floored" by the possibility that the DoJ (Jensen) altered FBI documents as asserted in the letter he got from Strzok's attorney and will address that at some point. and
7. Powell is a shit lawyer and Sullivan hinted that she should be investigated by the bar END
