Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, leaves the federal court following a status conference with Judge Emmet Sullivan, in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2019.

The attorney for retired Army Gen. Michael Flynn is refusing to let the former national security adviser testify before Rep. Adam Schiff, saying the California Democrat disregards “ethics in your theatrical demand.”

Attorney Sidney Powell said Monday in a letter that Flynn is invoking his rights under the Fifth Amendment to avoid being “paraded, harassed or disparaged” by Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Mr. Schiff, who took committee control in January, has launched an investigation into nearly every aspect of President Trump’s life.

Mr. Schiff was a big proponent of the Democratic Party-financed dossier sourced to the Kremlin. The dossier’s charges of Trump election conspiracy proved unfounded.

Ms. Powell is mounting a vigorous effort in federal court to dismiss the case against Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents in the Trump White House’s early days. She accuses the Robert Mueller prosecution team of withholding evidence favorable to him.

If you already haven’t observed a Sidney Powell interview please do so ASAP. Attorney Sidney Powell is a force to be reckoned with. The left rightfully fears her. She is going to tear the Deep State a new one. Another Trump AG option (also Joe deGinova) who Trump could/should have appointed AG. Had he done so you can bet the Deep State would have already bought and stockpiled every single Adult Depends available within a 100 miles radius of D.C. Meanwhile Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch continue to have to fight tooth and nail for reams of documentary evidence they have requested legally under the FOIA but have been illegally denied by the Barr DOJ and Wray FBI. On day one I called Sessions a huge mistake by Trump. I call Barr and Wray as being cut from the same cloth. May they prove me wrong.
