The voicemail Flynn's lawyer received upon dropping out of the Joint Defense Agreement, just filed.
There's something a little odd in the filing. The court had directly ordered the government to file transcripts of Flynn's conversations with Russian officials. In the government's response, they note the order, but then don't directly respond to it, or file those transcripts.
Here's the section of the Mueller report about that voicemail and the tense phone calls between the attorneys that followed; pages 120-122 of Volume 2. justice.gov/storage/report…
I agree w/ @hsu_spencer that this line is intended to convey why no other transcripts were filed, but still... the judge specifically ordered the filing of the Russian officials transcripts. Can't imagine he'll take kindly to this indirection.

Hi @nytimes, I'm interested in more information on this group and I can't find anything online about them besides your story. How did you find them? h/t @skeatings nytimes.com/2019/05/31/wel…
I tried the IRS exempt organizations registry too, @nytimes. Nothing.
There is a Delaware corp registered earlier this year with that name, h/t @polly ... but still, how'd it get into a NYT article?

It’s pretty obvious to me that the President did not personally track the McCain from port to port, identify a moment when their paths may cross, and issue orders to forestall his own temper tantrum. I don’t think that’s the issue here. Do the senior reporters in the press room?
The Nixon-era formulation, “what did the president know and when did he know it?” is a pretty blinkered way of thinking about how a president operates. He creates an environment where his attendants seek to obtain his praise and avoid his wrath.
That environment reportedly led to a dishonorable attempt to hide a Navy ship from his eyes. The issue is what is he going to do about this embarrassment. Is he going to articulate why it was wrong, or vow to change his behavior? Or will he praise the effort as well intentioned?

Not one word of this tweet from **the Attorney General of Louisiana** is accurate. But maybe they do things differently under the napoleonic code idk.
A couple points of clarification:
• no *court* has weighed Trump’s guilt as he hasn’t been charged
• the accused in this nation enjoy a *presumption* (not a finding) of innocence in court until there is a verdict
• a verdict of *not guilty* is not a finding of innocence
• findings of factual innocence are relatively rare in the US courts; mostly relevant in expungement proceedings iirc
• Trump hasn’t been charged bc of a DOJ policy that makes impeachment proceedings the only venue for resolving federal criminal offenses by a serving president

-"Flynn Filing Shows Mueller Team Manipulated Transcript in Report"
"Judge E. Sullivan requested the Mueller team provide records. The judge ordered the government to file on the public docket “the transcript of the voicemail recording” from Prez attorney J. Dowd to Michael Flynn
2- -"The transcript of that voicemail recording was cited in the Mueller report as evidence that team Trump was trying to obstruct justice by shaping witness testimony.
Today, the Mueller team released the transcript of the call."-
2-However, as originally noticed by RosieMemos the released transcript clearly shows the Mueller team selectively edited the transcript to weaponized their portrayal of the contact.
Compare the actual transcript to the Mueller Report

🔥So... about that voicemail John Dowd, Trump’s lead defense atty, left for Rob Kelner, Flynn’s lead counsel. Kelner said the tone was “indignant and vocal in his disagreement“ that Flynn’s team was making a deal and couldn’t share info with him😳
🔥BREAKING NEWS🔥Even though John Dowd, Trumps criminal defense atty, KNEW that Trump was implicated in the Flynn situation and that it was a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE, he tried to cover it up by telling the American people a LIE about the Mueller investigation ‼️
@realDonaldTrump, his lawyers, the @GOP, @FoxNews have perpetrated a COVERUP of their criminality with Russia and we need to DEMAND an #ImpeachmentInquiryNOW READ WHAT DOWD SAID👇

Per court order, the govt has filed a transcript of a voicemail that Michael Flynn's lawyer got from one of Trump's lawyers after Flynn withdrew from the joint defense agreement. Much of this was excerpted in Vol. II of Mueller's report
The judge had ordered the govt to file this transcript because in their sentencing memo they'd referenced the fact that Flynn contributed to the obstruction investigation by turning over a "voicemail recording"
The judge also ordered the govt to produce "any other audio recordings of Mr. Flynn, including, but not limited to, audio recordings of Mr. Flynn's conversations with Russian officials." Govt said today it isn't relying on any other recordings, nor are any part of the record
