Content

Today's episode takes an in-depth look at the concept of an amicus brief, explaining why we filed one in the Flynn case, what it means, and what's next for the guy who sold out his country... and his partner.

We begin with a brief update on the Flynn trial (in the District Court for the District of Columbia) and the mandamus action pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Then, it's time to talk about all the various amicus briefs that were filed, with special attention to a pro-Flynn brief filed by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  Why does this liberal group want Judge Sullivan to grant the government's motion?  Listen and find out!

After a breakdown of all the amicus, we talk about the case in which Lt. Gen. Flynn was supposed to be the star witness for the government -- the case against Flynn's partner, Bijan Rafiekian.  Find out what's up next for Kian, and how this all involves friend of the show G. ZACHARY TERWILLIGER!

After all that, it's time for a brand-new #T3BE, this one involving... real property.  Can Thomas manage to figure out the relationship between a buyer, a mortgagor, a developer, and an unsigned deed?  Listen and find out, and play along if you want on social media!

We posted six separate updates to the amicus brief in progress, and there's more where that came from!

I wanted to suggest a movie for Lawd Awful Movies, the Australian film 'The Castle'. It's like a classic comedy that is on tv every couple of months over here, it deals with Australian Constitutional law. The crappy lawyer is amazing

I finally got around to reading Judge Gleeson's brief. Wowza. Good reading. If I thought Flynn was a scumbag from media reports or your own amicus brief or listening to this podcast for the past few years, this lays out in detail all of the scumbaggery very very clearly. Also about 1/3 of the way through, it felt like the horse of Flynn's guilt being beaten here had been dead for many years, returned as zombie horse, and impaled in the skull by Judge Gleeson's amicus brief to render the zombie horse beyond undead. If rule 48a is not there to keep the court credible against astonishingly corrupt prosecutors, what is it even for? The judge has got to deny the government's nonsense, hasn't he??
