Today Judge Emmet Sullivan issued a order that says all of the portions of the SCO's report concerning Mike Flynn are to be unredacted and made public.
federal judge has ordered portions of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to be unredacted and made public in the criminal case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan issued the limited order Thursday. Portions of the report relating to Flynn are redacted and would be made public under the order.
It is the first time a federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to make public portions of the report the agency had kept secret.
After Flynn's lawyer announced he was cooperating with the Government, he received a call from the President's attorney requesting a 'heads up' on any national security information to which he might testify. Flynn's attorney explained that there could be no more communication because they had terminated the joint defense agreement by agreeing to cooperate. At that point the President's attorney became indignant and said that 'his client' would view this as 'hostile'.
This could be how some of the Mueller report is seen: in bits and pieces as various court cases review information. There are simply too many different ways that information can be released. The President would have to put some kind of Draconian gag order over the entire system to stop it. Not that he wouldn't like to, but I just don't think he can. You might be able to get an AG or a judge or two that will go along, but there are too many courts with too many judges that will not be sycophantic to the wishes of the President.
