FAIL for not putting quotes around "government" consistently, regardless of how good her grammar and spelling are.

This stretches the idea of 'plausible alternative theory, like a Stretch Armstrong on steroids.Sidney P. is maybe several things at once but in the holy tradition of lawyering for cash, she is taking Flynn to the cleaners. She could be super sly and just using what she has considering who is Preznident and what he believes in order to save his Deep State Ass. She could also be this nuts and invested but I doubt that. Or she's just representing a nut that wants nuts representation and is willing to pay for it. Looking like flaming nooges each no matter.

How does Flynn come out of this with any degree of respectability at all? I say he doesn't and that he's destined for right wing nutosphere for ever and a day.

Depends on which kind of bar she's frequenting.

Well, lawyers generally get paid by the hour.

I think she'd know to ditch the gun somewhere in the White House. There'd be a ton of other suspects there.

Hard to believe anyone with as much power, position, and influence as Flynn had could be duped so completely by people he and his lawyer claims are idiots. My favorite part: when the FBI asks to interview him he goes alone and just chats himself into charges because he seems to think they are allies of his, not interviewing him as a suspect. I'll bet he wishes he had a lawyer with him that day! Or anyone who could have just said, "Shut up, Mike!"

Whoa! Harvey Silverglate is her co-author? THAT Harvey Silverglate, the one who also Alan Dershowitz's co-author?

It's scarier to think that a guy who was in Flynn's position would fall for Powell. Are we going to look back someday and find out that Flynn's brilliant performance in Iraq was actually done by a second louie while he spent all his time smoking opium?
