Here’s The No. 1 Question To Ask Robert Mueller In Tomorrow’s Hearing

  1. This exchange raised the specter that the special counsel team had withheld evidence from Flynn’s former attorneys, because we know from Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley that the Defense Intelligence Agency held “a key piece of information” about Flynn that was classified, the disclosure of which “would be in the public interest, and in the interest of fairness to Lt.
  2. But now, given the recent developments in the Rafiekian case, there seems to be a more likely scenario: The Defense Intelligence Agency and other members of the federal intelligence community never provided the special counsel team the vast array of intel they had on Flynn.
  3. (Rafiekian’s trial ended on Friday, but the jury has yet to render a verdict.) However, as I explained in detail last week, if the special counsel team working the Flynn and Rafiekian case knew of this information, the federal prosecutors would have disclosed its existence to Rafiekian’s legal team much earlier.
  4. The growing feud between federal prosecutors and Flynn, now represented by powerhouse attorney Sidney Powell, exposed the near certainty that the intel community withheld information from the special counsel team.
  5. So, the implication? That the intelligence community withheld extremely relevant information from the special counsel’s office which had been explicitly charged with investigating not just Flynn’s contacts with Turkey, but also Rafiekian and Alptekin’s.
