I believe that the overall conviction rate for federal criminal prosecution is around 93%. I believe all of the attorneys on Mueller's team are 100% ers.
The feds have enormous advantages because they only pursue very serious violations with multiple counts. They then only pursue those counts with overwhelming evidence.
I would guess that NRA's attorneys would get a similar conviction rate if they were on the other side.
A really good defense attorney going against feds is the one that gets you in the door the fastest and gets you to unload everything as fast as possible. A really good attorney is the one who, when the feds ask if you will wear a wire responds with, "are you sure one is going to be enough? We don't want to miss anything do we?"
I would nominate Robert Kelner and Stephen Anthony as the two best private attorney's to come up against the Mueller team to date, by far. Their representation of Flynn has been spectacular. Not only did Flynn violate the rules governing the behavior of generals in retirement but this is the guy who besides setting up a back channel with the Russians but also put together a meeting to kidnap Muhammed Fethullah Gülen
In March 2017, former CIA Director James Woolsey told the Wall Street Journal that he had been at a September 19, 2016 meeting with then Trump campaign advisor Mike Flynn with Turkey's foreign minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, and energy minister, Berat Albayrak, where the possibility of Gulen's abduction and forced rendition to Turkey was discussed.[111][112]
Despite this pyramid of serious felonies Mr. Flynn is going to walk away with no prison time. If I am ever detained I would like to think that I would have the composure to tell the arresting officers to call my attorney Saul Goodman just for the hilarity of it. In the meantime I carry Kelner and Anthony's phone number with me just in case.
