Keeping Flynn quiet must be of huge importance to the coup. Why else would this continue? If Flynn were a democrat his story would have been on the front page of the Times, gag order or not.

It appears Ms. Wilkinson pleads both political sides. Not necessarily a bad thing, but interesting. She had Brett Kavanaugh as a client, but now has Cheryl Mills and Judge Sullivan.

Although, why Sullivan needs a lawyer escapes me. Doesn’t he have clerks? They can argue along whatever lines he tells them to. And, if he doesn’t know what lines to argue along, he should let Flynn go.

This article manages to leave out a lot of details that would put Flynn in a better light, like that the two FBI guys who interviewed him on January 24, 2017, did not think that he was lying.

Scumbag NBC Host David Gregory is Lawyer Wilkinson’s Husband. What’s Sullivan’s fricking problem lawyering up?

We do, of course.
I’ve read the authority cited in the appellate order, Fokker Services (yes, that’s the name of the case.) yes, the facts are different but I see no reason why the Same law would not apply on these facts as well. Essentially the “leave of court” requirement is just a rubber stamp... prosecutorial decisions are vested in the prosecutor and the prosecutor only. The
Appellate court could not be signaling their intention to issue the writ more clearly. I think hiring an attorney is just for show, rather than blatantly turning tail and slinking into the shadows. If I’m wrong I’ll be prepared to eat the proverbial crow. But I’m not.

She had Brett Kavanaugh as a client, but now has Cheryl Mills and Judge Sullivan.

I wonder is she was as effective an attorney for Kavanaugh as Gen Flynn’s original lawyers?

Never trust any deep staters who “appear” to be advocating for our side.

If he didn’t do anything wrong, then why does he need a lawyer.

Looks like Obama’s lackey is hiring a deep state attorney to write his response causing more delay. This is certain to alarm and anger the appellate panel as their order was an opportunity for Sullivan to dismiss the case rendering the motion for Writ of Mandamus moot.

Now Sullivan is having his response written for him causing as much delay as possible.

I’ll say it again, Sullivan is not in control, he has a gun to his head.

Similar to the way they described the Judge Kavanaugh inquisition......no mention of the fallacious accusation, just, “Kavanaugh denied it”.

He’s been ordered by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to “file a response addressing the petitioners’ request.” Judge Sullivan has 10 days to address Flynn’s legal brief. Why would he need a personal lawyer to do that?
