Yeah, you really can’t do what Sullivan is doing.
The threat of contempt against Flynn for now saying he’s innocent, is an obviously inappropriate form of coercion to try and prevent Flynn from asserting his innocence.
The DOJ has acknowledged prosecutor misconduct. Under these circumstances, Flynn retracting his guilty plea is completely understandable.
And bringing in some third party who already has declared their opinion, to sort of continue prosecuting Flynn, smacks of third world goonish corruption.
And I don’t choose those words lightly. The judge and I think those behind him, are lashing out wildly to keep Flynn a convicted criminal by any means possible.
If this stuff stands, yeah we don’t have a free country or valid justice system any longer.
Sullivan is an activist partisan Judge. You can’t expect any different from him. If there is a way to jail Flynn he will do it.
It seems like even a day going by without this stinking POS making me angrier.
It was bad enough when they were doing it bureaucratically because they simply enjoyed abusing power because...well...they COULD.
But this Leftist Judge has shown he has a vendetta for General Flynn, why, maybe simply because he is a Leftist. Or he is embarrassed or annoyed at being backed into a corner.
So this is even worse than the bureaucratic persecution because in addition to the personal animus, it even further erodes any confidence people may have in our judicial systems to do the right thing.
The easiest thing in the world would be for Sullivan to just end this.
He could say some nasty things while ending it to keep up his allegiance to the Democrats.
This is somebody telling Sullivan what to do.
And that somebody is scared to death.
Sullivan has denied amicus briefings 24 times before, until this case....now, suddenly he’s allowing them...and, now, he’s appointing this Clinton flacky Judge, to contest DOJs recommendation.
Trying to push Trump to pardon the good General...as if that would be an election year misstep.
At this point....Americans want Gen Flynn exonerated and free of this witch hunt entrapment.
Gleeson earned his fame by helping to convict John Gotti in 1992. I remember his girly face.
Unfortunately for Judge Sullivan, there is a DC Circuit decision that is binding on him and requires him to grant the motion to dismiss.
Sol Weisenberg, the Raleigh NC based attorney who appears on the Laura Ingraham show, discussed this tonight. The case is styled United States v. Fokker Services B.V., 818 F.3d 733 (D. C. Cir. 2016). The opinion was written by Circuit Judge Sri Srinavasan, an Obama appointee; the other two members of the panel were both Reagan appointees and currently have “senior” status, Laurence Silberman and David Sentelle. Here is the link in case you would like to read this:

I’ll bet you that the former US District Judge Gleason who stuck his nose into this case and is Sullivan’s court appointed “amicus curiae” will be heading for the exits once he reads this case.
The only reason the judge can lawfully invoke to deny the government’s motion to dismiss is if the defendant objects to the government’s motion, which is definitely not the case here. Also, if the judge denies the government’s motion to dismiss, the defendant has a remedy at the DC Circuit, and that is to file a petition for the issuance of a writ of mandamus, which if granted, will order Sullivan to dismiss the case.
Fokker is interesting in how law can become a double-edged sword. Here, an Obama judge wrote about how the executive branch (controlled at the time by B. Hussein Obama II) basically holds all the cards in a criminal prosecution, and the judge’s role is essentially ministerial in nature, with no right to demand that the case be prosecuted.
Worked closely with that VILE SNAKE ANDREW WEISSMANN?? He must be DIRTY as HELL!!
