Is the IRS involved some where?
DOJ
I believe this court will hear the Flynn teams request to have Sullivan removed from the case. It should be interesting to hear the legal basis for that request.
I will be looking to see if gross incompetence is a legal justification for removing a judge from a case.
Because the DOJ filed the motion to dismiss, so Powell withdrew Flynn’s motion to dismiss and adopted the arguments of the DOJ.
In essence, the DOJ then became the lead party in the Petition for the Writ of Mandamus. When the DOJ, after filing a amicus brief at the invitation of the COA, Sullivan then had to respond to both the U.S. Goverment and Sidney Powell. Having the DOJ as the lead party in this action increases the odds that it will be granted, so much so that the result is a slam dunk.
Powell was allowed to submit the appellant brief and also a reply brief after Sullivan submitted his answer.
