DOJs Response To Flynn Misconduct Evidence Only Makes Them Look Worse

Then came this disconcerting passage: The government disclosed approximately 25 pages of documents in April and May 2020 as the result of an independent review of this case by the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri. While those documents, along with other recently available information, see, e.g., Doc. 198-6, are relevant to the governments discretionary decision to dismiss this case, the governments motion is not based on defendant Flynns broad allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. Flynns allegations are unfounded and provide no basis for impugning the prosecutors from the D.C. United States Attorneys Office.
This passage proves disconcerting for several reasons. First, the paragraphs construction creates the false impression that there was no prosecutorial misconduct involved, while, in reality, it does not say that at all. Rather, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine, who signed the brief, merely asserted in the governments brief that its motion is not based on defendant Flynns broad allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
But what about narrow and specific allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and specifically Powells claim that federal prosecutor Brandon Van Grackwho has since withdrawn from the caseimproperly withheld material exculpatory evidence from Powell?
