In an article published on May 22, 2017, on the website of The Hill, partner Simon Bloom provides insight on the Senate intelligence committee’s subpoena to former national security adviser Michael Flynn and the repercussions that Flynn can face by choosing not to comply with it.  Bloom enumerates the many scenarios that could play out.  He explains how the committee could attempt to obtain a court order compelling Flynn to respond to the subpoena and granting him immunity against the use of any materials he produces in a later criminal prosecution.  While documents produced by Flynn in response to the subpoena could not be used against him in a later prosecution, he could still be prosecuted and convicted on the basis of other evidence derived from independent sources.  “The Senate could order Flynn to be imprisoned for a set period of time as punishment or for an indefinite period (though likely not longer than the end of the current session of Congress) until he agrees to comply with the subpoena,” he explains.  “While Flynn is no longer national security adviser, it is questionable at best whether the Senate could use it to try to obtain documents that may touch on his service.”  For the full article, you may click here.
