Emmet Sullivan set to explain why he has not dismissed case

His attorney submitted a 45 page brief in which she did not explain why he has not dismissed the case.

He is the judge and he need to explain his own reasoning not have some attorney write a bunch of stuff about why he could have done what he did.

Under law, he was the judge exercising discretion in the matter. He had to exercise discretion, he had to exercise discretion legally, and his exercise had to be reasonable - i.e. for a valid stated reason.

He did none of that. He didn't even exercise his disretion. He just kicked the can down the road.

What is comical is that an attorney that shows up occasionally on my youtube feed had a video making the case that Sullivan’s explanation was rock solid. Pretty comical. But the guy outed himself yesterday with a preposterous rant against the Lafayette square thing. It was preposterous, especially after seeing Barr’s interview about it. He simply believed the bullchit from the MSM and based his response on it.

When the case against Flynn is officially dismissed, he’s probably dead man walking. No way does the Deep State allow Flynn to talk to the public about what he knows.

Reportedly, DS needs to muzzle Flynn to prevent him from disclosing Foreign / Domestic traitors imbedded in US Government.
Once case dismissed, Flynn is activated

The hack Judge ignores recent new evidence that the FBI withheld
evidence from Flynn and that Flynn was set up.

Shameless dirty, lying, treasonous and
very dirty Sullivan makes Emmet mean “LIES AND SEDITION”.

The ‘Shadow President’ is still giving the orders.


I disagree. That brain-dead ass-hat puppet couldn’t find his way out of a wet paper bag if he were holding machetes in each hand.

This goes much higher, much higher.

His argument, which the court of appeals is likely to buy (because they really want to come up with a reason to deny the writ of mandamus) is that he did not deny the motion, he merely set it for hearing and gave groups who had previously been denied the right to file amicus briefs the opportunity to do so before the motion was heard.

Once the transcript of the call released, he looks even stupider. He ought to crawl in a hole and resign.

Numerous legal eagles have said that the short timeline on this indicates the higher court is taking it very seriously.

It's only a three judge panel, with 2 of the 3 being Republican appointed. With COVID-19, the DC Circuit cancelled all oral arguments for May, and has very few arguments scheduled for June. Basically, the panel that is handling this case didn't do much in May, thus has lots of time on their hands. Flynn got lucky with having two conservatives on his panel...

I assume, and sure hope, that General Flynn has a brief or some kind of document that would be released IMMEDIATELY if anything “untoward” happened to him.
And,hopefully, President Trump has a copy!

Exactly.

And, despite the author's attempt to suggest otherwise, Gleeson's current position is consistent with his 2013 writing. Sullivan (et al) selected him for a good reason.

(What are the odds Ronn Blitzer is related to the adored "Stud Muffin"?)

Gen. Flynn should sit down, under the “cone of silence” with Donald Trump,Jr. as stenographer. He should tell all he knows, and who is involved, to protect himself, and the information he has.
I trust Donald Trump, Jr., and doubt he’d leak or spoil the confidence.

Flynn should have come out with blazing words screaming that he would not give an inch and they would have to throw him in jail...LIKE THAT JEROME CORSI DID.

I was so impressed with him. He would not SHUT UP. Kept saying “put me in jail, I am not going to lie!”

I think he INTIMIDATED THE fools at FBI/DOJ. I could have watched him forever, he was great.
