If Mueller had filed the original 302’s under seal, why didn’t Sullivan know about them last Wednesday at the initial sentencing hearing? If he’d known about them being filed, he wouldn’t have asked Mueller to produce them on Friday. I highly doubt that Judge Sullivan would have missed the fact that those documents had previously been filed under seal. He’s a smart guy!
Late Friday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office filed its reply brief to the sentencing memorandum Michael Flynn had filed early last week with a D.C. federal court. Mueller’s reply brief revealed several new tidbits about the special counsel’s probe and the earlier investigation into Flynn, President Donald Trump’s short-lived national security advisor. Mueller’s filing came in response to a hastily issued order by presiding judge Emmet Sullivan, which directed the government to file its reply brief by 3 p.m. on December 14. Sullivan also directed Flynn to file with the court two documents he referenced in his sentencing memorandum: a January 24, 2017 memorandum authored by former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, and a FD-302 interview summary dated August 22, 2017.
Garnering the most attention was Sullivan’s order to the special counsel “to file on the docket any 302s or memoranda relevant to the circumstances discussed on pages 7-9 of the defendant’s sentencing memorandum.”
