I thought Sullivan was a while hat, until someone pointed out to me he dragged Ted Steven’s case through the election, almost certainly causing him to lose, and never followed up on his complaints about the prosecutors.

Obamacare went through because the Repubs lost his vote. That one vote.

I think the Obama spying operations on judges, political opponents, etc. caught the Judge in some easily blackmailable situations. Could be cash under the table, some down low Gillum type stuff, or naked with some little boys. Whatever it is, he is pathologically frantic and throwing all caution to the winds.

...he dragged Ted Steven’s case through the election, almost certainly causing him to lose, and never followed up on his complaints about the prosecutors.

I don't know about the timing, but Judge Sullivan ultimately did dismiss the charges against Senator Stevens and wrote a scathing opinion about the actions of the DOJ in that case.

Interestingly, in that matter Judge Sullivan had no problem with the DOJ dropping a case after a jury convicted Senator Stevens.

In Obama's recent "leaked" call he apparently forgot that the dismissal of a guilty jury conviction happened during his administration, under his DOJ.

You are correct. Very similar to the Weinberger indictment the weekend before the 1992 election. Once Clinton won, it was immediately finished.
