LegalEagle - You sound like a political hack spewing sensationalist innuendo, including of the McCarthyite variety. Flynn's alleged lie was not material to any investigation, and Flynn had not committed any crime warranting an investigation to begin with. There was no legal predicate, and the FBI was supposed to have closed down the case. The interview with Flynn was clearly unjustified and illegal, and was the result of a political frame-up. Flynn as the incoming NSA was totally justified in talking to the Russians, as part of Transition of Power. There was no criminal violation being investigated. I'm no fan of Erdogan, but Turkey is a NATO ally, and is not Russia. Flynn was not the victim of a honeytrap, but rather a victim of an Obama-orchestrated FBI trap intended to mask Obama's wrongful surveillance of the Trump campaign for political purposes. Flynn pleaded guilty as a result of plea-bargaining which saved his own son from possible prosecution. The story is back in the news due to revelations about Obama's Jan-5-2017 meeting with AG Yates, FBI director Comey & VP Biden in which he told them about surveillance of Flynn and discussed withholding that info from the incoming Whitehouse administration. Note that Obama's national security officials have all testified under oath that, contrary to their misleading statements to the media they'd seen no evidence of Russia collusion by the Trump campaign. This situation has become a modern day Dreyfuss Affair, and you are unfortunately contributing to muddying the waters about it through your slanted propaganda.

@munstrumridcully the judge never gave reasoning on why it was material, and what it was material to. We do know that Sullivan directly called Flynn a traitor during his preliminary filing, before even having heard the facts of the case. The DOJ has withdrawn the case, and Judge Sullivan has no basis for hearing it. Instead of giving leave, Judge Sullivan has taken the highly dubious unprecedented step of soliciting an Amicus brief to seek justification on whether DOJ's withdrawal is acceptable. The Supreme Court through its very liberal Justice Ginsburg had just a week earlier written its very clear ruling against this very issue of such creative Amicus solicitations. In Ginsburg's own words: "[C]ourts are essentially passive instruments of government … They ‘do not, or should not, sally forth each day looking for wrongs to right. [They] wait for cases to come to [them], and when [cases arise, courts] normally decide only questions presented by the parties.” Listen to the prescient words of the very liberal Justice Ginsburg, and see their unavoidable meaning. By disregarding the Supreme Court's 9-0 unanimous ruling on this, Judge Sullivan is clearly thumbing his nose at the highest court in the land, while inviting disgrace for himself.

No, she didn't lie the whole time. She's just using the fiction defense to avoid political prosecution. I'm fine with that - I'd have done the same as her. It's not okay to prosecute Sidney Powell for political reasons, as is being done here, and therefore it's okay for her to deflect this political prosecution by any means necessary, such as claiming she didn't mean it. Let's be clear - Dominion hasn't suffered any "loss of business", it's really political interest groups aligned with the Democrats who are putting up Dominion into suing Powell, in order to silence her political views. Therefore, because of this wrongful politically-motivated litigation, she is entitled to use any defense she finds convenient, including saying the Martians had possessed her body. When you're engaging in dishonest politically-motivated "justice" like Dominion and the Left are, then you're not entitled to honesty from the other side. That's my staunch view. Democrats have declared war, and want to win by hook or by crook, so let them be replied to in kind.
