You might have missed the news - but @SidneyPowell1 filed a BOMBSHELL motion in @GenFlynn's case on Friday night.
Powell is asking Judge Emmet Sullivan to find the prosecutors in contempt of court and get them thrown off the case for Brady violations.
Analysis thread
@SidneyPowell1@GenFlynn First, some basic background: "Brady violations" are when prosecutors fail to disclose evidence that could be favorable to the defense.
This is indispensable to due process, for pretty obvious reasons: if prosecutors can hide evidence they can get unjust convictions/pleas.
@SidneyPowell1@GenFlynn This is particularly relevant in any case involving Judge Sullivan, who famously threw out former Senator Ted Stevens' conviction - due to Brady violations by the prosecutors in that case.
Stevens' case was covered heavily in @SidneyPowell1's great book, LICENSED TO LIE.
@SidneyPowell1@GenFlynn Powell makes a SHOCKING accusation: that prosecutors Brandon Van Grack and Zainab Ahmad, under the direction of Andrew Weissmann,
"affirmatively suppressed evidence that destroyed the credibility of their primary witness [and] impugned their entire case against @GenFlynn."
@SidneyPowell1@GenFlynn It looks like @SidneyPowell1's allegations are based on a "voluntary" production of documents by the prosecutors on August 16th.
Van Grack denied that there was any Brady material in the production.
Powell disagreed - and argued that the prosecutors should be HELD IN CONTEMPT!
@SidneyPowell1@GenFlynn Note - it's pretty much impossible for outside observers to determine who's right in this case - yet.
@SidneyPowell1 filed an accompanying motion under seal, laying out the specific Brady violations, because the relevant evidence was produced under a protective order.
He conceded to making materially false statements in his FARA filing - but NOT to making them KNOWINGLY, as @SidneyPowell1 explained in an earlier filing.
Under @RepMariaSalazar's bill, the wife-beating illegal alien MS-13 gang banging human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be granted citizenship by a future Democrat administration, with no further changes to American law.
A thread with citations explaining how.
Let's start with the basics of his admissibility. Abrego Garcia entered the United States in 2011 at the age of 16.
That makes him eligible for the Dreamer program under the bill. It doesn't matter that he came on his own volition.
At this point, you might note that he hasn't been continuously present in the United States because he was removed to El Salvador.
Lucky for Kilmar, there's an exception to the continuous presence requirement if you were previously removed.
Let's tell YET ANOTHER story about Kilmar Abrego-Garcia and his alleged membership in MS-13 - and his lawyer playing fast and loose with the facts.
In last night's thread, I explained how Abrego-Garcia's lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, underplayed the evidence that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 contained in the Gang Field Interview Sheet (GFIS).
One of the key parts of the GFIS was the assertion of a confidential informant that Abrego-Garcia was a member of the "Westerns clique" of MS-13, including his rank and moniker. This would be pretty definitive, if true.
How did Sandoval-Moshenberg deal with this in his complaint? Well, he asserted, without equivocation, that the Westerns Clique of MS-13 "operates in Brentwood Long Island, in New York, a state that Plaintiff Abrego Garcia has never lived in."
If true, that would be pretty devastating to the credibility of the confidential informant! And indeed, both Judge Thacker's 4th Circuit opinion and Judge Xinis' district court opinion cite this specific point to discredit the evidence that Abrego-Garcia is in MS-13.
Given how fast and loose Sandoval-Moshenberg played with the GFIS, I decided to try and find the basis for his claim that the DOJ said the Westerns Clique only operates in New York.
When you search "Western Clique" on DOJ's website, all that comes up is one particular MS-13 double murder. But there's no claim by DOJ here that the Western Clique only operates in Long Island - it just says that two particular members of the Western Clique were murdered in Long Island.
Let's tell another story about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This one has to do with his lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, and how a 4th Circuit judge (and the entire media) effectively got duped into underplaying the evidence that Abrego-Garcia was in MS-13.
Today, AG Bondi released the underlying Gang Field Interview Sheet (GFIS) related to Abrego Garcia's detainment in 2019, along with other documents.
In the GFIS, the police officer attests that when Abrego-Garcia was arrested, he was hanging out with multiple confirmed MS-13 members, that he was wearing apparel associated with MS-13, and that a confidential source independently identified Abrego-Garcia's membership in MS-13 along with his rank and moniker in the organization.
Interestingly, when Judge Thacker wrote her concurring opinion in the 4th Circuit decision that ruled for Abrego-Garcia, she was extremely dismissive of the evidence that he was in MS-13. She said it was "thin, to say the least," and made no mention of the fact that Abrego-Garcia was detained while hanging out with two other members of MS-13.
Why was that omitted? Well, let's take a look at her footnotes.
Let's tell the story of Kilmer Armado Abrego-Garcia, the "Maryland Father" (read: likely member of MS-13) who was removed to El Salvador, and who The Atlantic (and apparently the entire political left) are demanding be returned to the United States.
First: his detention. He was detained in March 2019 and charged with removability. Abrego Garcia is a "native and citizen" of El Salvador. He crossed the border illegally in 2012, and was thus removable - totally independently of whether he was in MS-13.
The finding that he was a member of MS-13 only came up because he asked for bond. The immigration judge reviewed the evidence and found that it "show[ed] he is a verified member of MS-13." and therefore that Abrego-Garcia did not demonstrate "that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others."
There’s nothing complicated about where happening in Yemen. A tiny, broke country shoots missiles and drones at American military vessels and refuses to allow freedom of navigation to American military ships.
We aren’t some trivial power. We are THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
There is no piddling little country that gets to shoot at our ships and not face an overwhelming military response. Not under a competent President.
“But they’re mad about our support for Israel.” I’m sorry, but literally no one serious cares. The Houthis don’t get to act on their opinion of our foreign policy vis-a-vis Israel. If they do,
