Bad news for Flynn's defense team, unfortunately. _____ 'No relevance': DOJ says FISA report doesn’t justify dismissing Michael Flynn caseby Jerry Dunleavy | February 12, 2020 10:21 PM (Washimgton Examiner) - The Justice Department rejected claims by retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s lawyers that the agency watchdog’s recent surveillance abuse report contained evidence that would justify dismissing the case against him.
Prosecutors argued on Wednesday that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse report bore “no relevance” to Flynn’s guilt.

Flynn’s defense team, led by former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, argued in January that Horowitz’s report revealed Flynn had been unfairly targeted by the FBI.
“Even though the investigation pertains to the abuses of the FISA process, not the FBI and DOJ’s misconduct regarding Mr. Flynn, the IG report simultaneously documents at least some of [the] FISA process abuses and misconduct against Mr. Flynn,” Powell told the court. “The IG report is replete with exculpatory evidence that, had it been known to Mr. Flynn, he never would have pled guilty."...

I wrote to Trump when he took office to tell him he will have to fire 30% or so of all government staff since Obama spent 8 years lacing and planting the government with traitors and communists. Perhaps the last 3 years of BS could have been averted. It's like when King Saul did not obey God and kill all of the enemies in the land and they came back to bite him in the butt later on.
