Listen To The Voicemail Trump's Lawyer Left For Michael Flynn's Lawyer After Flynn Cut A Deal
Source: Buzz Feed News
WASHINGTON A federal judge on Thursday ordered the release of a voicemail that one of President Donald Trump's lawyers left for former national security adviser Michael Flynn's lawyer in November 2017 after learning Flynn was pulling out of a joint defense agreement with the president.
The voicemail was left by John Dowd, who served as one of Trump's personal lawyers in the Mueller investigation until Dowd resigned in March 2018. According to Mueller's report, on Nov. 22, 2017, Flynn's counsel alerted Trump's lawyers that Flynn was withdrawing from the joint defense agreement and could no longer share confidential information.
That evening, Dowd called Flynn's lawyer Robert Kelner and left a message. Flynn publicly entered a guilty plea the following week and revealed he was cooperating with investigators, but from Dowd's message, it appeared the president's lawyers were still trying to understand at the time why Flynn had withdrawn. If Flynn had made a deal with prosecutors, Dowd said, "remember what we've always said about the President and his feelings toward Flynn and, that still remains."

(19,187 posts)That's the reason Lindsey Graham went from someone who despised Trump to someone who has his head firmly implanted up Trump's ass. Same thing for McTurtle. Blackmail, pure and simple. I think we can guess what Trump has on Graham and McConnell.

(46,038 posts)Trump has invested much money since the Eighties, putting together dossiers on people in power in case he needed leverage.
Think about it. Why do you think J. Edgar Hoover did it on non-criminals? And Trump was attached to Roy Cohn, who knew how to make people do things they didn't want to do. Information!
It can't be he has enough money to bribe, nor if he did, he wouldn't waste his money on that strategy.

(24,253 posts)Once he has them compromised, he owns them. Just like a prison guard smuggling drugs to convicts. Once they extort him into doing it once whether by blackmail, threats to his family or whatever, he has to keep doing it to keep from being exposed.
Once you've been extorted or bribed, you are owned. The only Art of the Deal Trump has ever known.

That thing was over Faux Noose the other evening lying on Shammity's show, but now with the release of this voice mail he got caught contradicting HIMSELF.
Thanks to Judge Emmit Sullivan ordering the release of that voice mail, we know the truth with 100% certainty. They were NOT in a joint defense agreement. All of these fuckers are guilty of TREASON (I can't wait to hear the Flynn Strzok interview) ....
Thank you Judge Sullivan 💖

"Hey, Rob, uhm, this is John again," the Nov. 22, 2017 voicemail recording starts out, as Trump's lawyer, John Dowd, requests Flynn's attorney, Rob Kelner, for a "heads up" about the nature of Flynn's cooperation, a move that special counsel Robert Mueller's team has described as a "potential" effort to hinder the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
"If, on the other hand, we have, there's information that. .. implicates the President, then we've got a national security issue, or maybe a national security issue, I don't know ... some issue, we got to-we got to deal with, not only for the President, but for the country," Dowd tells Kelner in the voicemail. "So ... uh ... you know, then-then, you know, we need some kind of heads up. Um, just for the sake of ... protecting all our interests, if we can, without you having to give up any ... confidential information."
