Showing Original Post only (View all)Lordy, There Are Voicemails (Admin officials / Congress critters telling Flynn to Obstruct) [View all]
The voicemails that Flynn provided as part of his plea will be released TOMORROW, May 31. Some of the voicemails, provided by Flynn, are Administration officials and/or people connected to the Administration telling Flynn not to cooperate.
From:

The judge ordered the following:
"The government is hereby ORDERED to file on the public docket in this case the transcript of the "voicemail recording" referenced in the 75 Addendum to Government's Memorandum in Aid of Sentencing and the transcripts of any other audio recordings of Mr. Flynn, including, but not limited to, audio recordings of Mr. Flynn's conversations with Russian officials, by no later than May 31, 2019. It is FURTHER ORDERED that the government shall submit to Chambers audio versions of the recordings on a DVD by no later than May 31, 2019."
Additionally, w.r.t. Obstruction, the pertinent part:
The defendant informed the government of multiple instances, both before and after his guilty plea, where either he or his attorneys received communications from persons connected to the Administration or Congress that could affect both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of that cooperation. The defendant even provided a voicemail recording of one such communication.
Tomorrow ought to be interesting.

Well, so there is a smoking tape (voicemail)? Same kind of evidence that took Nixon down.

Well somebody's got to bring the charges. And that somebody--on the federal level--is the DOJ.
