Lordy, There Are Voicemails (Admin officials / Congress critters telling Flynn to Obstruct)

[berni_mccoy]

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:

https://mobile.twitter.com/ninaandtito/status/1133885251388936192

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.

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

Can we begin the impeachment process yet, Nancy?

[fleur-de-lisa]

16. I believe it's spelled "smocking." N/T

[pandr32]

29. Made me laugh!

[sop]

42. Only if there are 18 missing minutes

n/t

[warmfeet]

47. Nope.

Sorry, powder might not stay quite as dry.

Must Keep Powder Dry!

For something in the future that actually matters.

Implying that this does .......................................... not ..................................... actually .................................. matter.

2. "provided a voicemail recording of one such communication"

It seems that he provided "one" voicemail recording, so is there something I'm missing in your statement that there are multiple such recordings?

Is there some other document which refers to more than one voicemail?

[berni_mccoy]

5. Sorry, it's in the tweet series

I should have included that in the OP.

"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."

[jberryhill]

8. Ah okay

The order is to "the 'voicemail recording'" singular, and to "any" other recordings. "Any" is open-ended as to existence.

[Lars39]

3. Please let it be Pence.

[TruckFump]

6. GMTA

Great Minds Think Alike! Took the vibes right out of my gray matter!

[Lars39]

7. Yep, if there's just one, let it be one that counts.

[TruckFump]

10. Oh, yes!

Trump impeached and removed, Pence charged and OUR MS. SPEAKER NANCY NEXT IN LINE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zoonart]

27. Oh Lordy...THIS!!

[Blue Owl]

36. ZOMG

For once, he could be useful for something!

[Lars39]

37. Well, besides a glow stick.

[CharleyDog]

39. or a termite buffet (from Tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors)

A termite buffet (because he's wooden, ha ha get it?). Or as Tengrain would say, "see what I did there?"

[TruckFump]

4. OMG

Lock them all up!

[redstatebluegirl]

9. Nunes? McConnell? Jordan?

[Scarsdale]

12. Graham?

This would explain why Lindsey has his bloomers in a twist.

[calimary]

28. Hmmm... certainly could be.

[NewJeffCT]

26. I'm guessing Nunes

since he was the one jumping through hoops for Trump in 2017

[CaptainTruth]

31. We know Flynn exchanged messages with Gaetz, but not sure if this is him.

[Achilleaze]

11. John Barron (R) ?

He's a sneaky republican wanker, as everyone agrees.

[malaise]

17. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

i hope so

[Marie Marie]

38. No wonder Trump likes using his alias...

John Barron is much better looking.

[Dem2theMax]

41. That one is priceless!

[kentuck]

13. Holy Shit!

That is going to scare some people!

[Cetacea]

14. Thanks for the reminder!

[Cryptoad]

15. And the Reason,,,,,,,

this admin official on teh voice mail is not being indicited is,,,,,,,,????

[Takket]

19. Great question. Anyone have an answer?

[pdsimdars]

18. Sounds like, "sh*t, meet fan" to me

[Farmer-Rick]

20. OK, so I can understand why impeachment is not the go-to action

what with the Senate in the grips of mass traitor-ism. But with this being such blatant evidence of Trump and his congressman cohorts running a criminal enterprise, something has to be done to attempt to stop them.

But what about just bringing charges and indicting Traitor Trump. This BS that you can't indict a sitting president is just BS, and if the Supremes uphold the BS, we are no worse off than we are now.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

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

Lead by Bill Barr.

Private citizens, or even Congress, can't just bring criminal charges on their own.

Now, there are state Attorneys General who I guess could play the game and try to indict Trump on state charges (I'm looking at you, New York.) That would probably end up in the courts.

[Farmer-Rick]

50. Thanks for the info.

I thought Congress could indict aside from an impeachment.

I see, he would have to be charged under state laws. I guess the courts would throw it back to the feds if they brought up federal crimes. Then we are back to Barr.

Seems the RepubliCONS have out maneuvered their own laws...just for Trump and all the rich capitalist.

[Raven123]

21. I don't think this is new

Transcript of one is in Mueller report.

[watoos]

22. If lawyers are involved in obstruction

I think they need to be disbarred. Would appreciate the procedure for doing that, any lawyers out there?

[Leghorn21]

24. Yep, this Friday Flynn revelation promise has kept me goin this week!!

Whassupp, Flynn, ya fuckin traitor moron

[meow2u3]

25. Here's the link to the unrolled version

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1133885251388936192.html

'member when the judge was like, "Mike Flynn you committed treason so ya better do more cooperating"
welp.
Mike Flynn is Person A and Flynn "Intelligence" is Company A and you should read this excerpt from the superseding indictment of Flynn's co-conspirators, Kian & Alptekin:

and this:

Then this was on 5/16/19:
"Sullivan also ordered that still-redacted portions of the Mueller report that relate to Flynn be given to the court and made public."
and then the superseding indictment with the additional details of Flynn's treason-with-turkey in paragraph 57 was filed 5/23/19.
Expect more bombshells.
.
"The transcripts, which the judge ordered be posted on a court website by May 31, would reveal conversations at the center of two major avenues of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election."
May 31 is Friday .
"The government is FURTHER ORDERED to file on the public docket in this case by no later than May 31, 2019 an unredacted version of those portions of the report that relate to Mr. Flynn. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 5/16/2019. (lcegs3) (Entered: 05/16/2019)"

[ScratchCat]

30. Wait

Haven't Guliani and Sekulow already argued that there is nothing illegal about telling people to not cooperate with Mueller or to lie to Congress? Why would this change anything?

[Ford_Prefect]

35. Guuliani and Sekulow are trying it on, as if it were a single conversational remark,

rather than repeated and emphatic commands or threats. Flynn has characterized the interactions as direct instructions from the administration or its proxies. A single instance might be legally debatable but a series of similar contacts form a pattern. It seems unlikely that anyone would risk influencing Flynn without considerable cause of their own or direction from above, as it were.

Assuming the evidence makes either condition clear it would seem that there may be a larger pattern of obstruction indicated. IMO Friday will be a very long day for someone if not several of them.

[Nevilledog]

32. Flynn's treason-with-turkey

Was that at Thanksgiving? Not sure I want details of how Flynn committed treason by the use of a turkey.

[mercuryblues]

44. This is why I question Mueller

Just before trump took office, Obama was going to OK a plan to combat ISIS. Turkey was not in favor of arming Syrians. Out of respect he asked trump's team to ok it. Flynn gave a resounding no. Come to find out Flynn was an unregistered agent of Turkey at that time.

After Flynn was out at the white house, a version of the plan was okayed. Which has helped diminish ISIS in the region, lessening their global terrorism threat.

[BadGimp]

33. Seriously good post. thanks for the effort!

[SunSeeker]

34. K & R for exposure.

[NBachers]

40. And of course, Flynn was the ONLY one leaned on this way, right?

[SayItLoud]

43. tRUMP flunkies get the dirty work while the Fn MORON just tweets ...nt

[Leghorn21]

45. Tomorrow ought to be LIT, berni!

FYI, here's the link to Judge Sullivan's court website, where pertinent FLYNN documents and his chat with Kislyak will be posted...hopefully:

(I'm going to start checking it starting at 12:01 tonight... )

[yonder]

46. "...from persons connected to the Administration or Congress"

Key word is or but the plural of person(s) suggests more than one.

Administration: Could be anybody but Pence would be delightful, as in hello Madame President Pelosi.

Congress: My guess is Nunes or Graham but wouldn't it be something if McConnell got himself fixed to the flypaper?

[UniteFightBack]

48. Kick this sucka. nt

[onetexan]

49. it's a safe bet Putin is paying the Idiot to be his puppet
