“Keeping Flynn quiet must be of huge importance to the coup.”

I think you’re right. That gag order he’s under: Assume that becomes null once the case is dismissed? “They” probably are fearful of what’s going to be disclosed once that dam bursts.

Response will be filled June 1. The appellate panel will take a week at least to review, then schedule a hearing.

The hearing is heard towards the end of June. Expect democrats to insist on calling supporting witnesses.

Once the hearing is complete, the appellate panel takes up the matter of the Writ.

The Writ could come in August.

The delay gives the Deep State time to launch a distraction.

Judges hire people all the time. Just because they are a judge does not mean they are experts in some areas. Judges hire people for many business law cases to help them understand things.

The Supreme Court hires people for many cases. They are not experts in many things. They hire them as advisers and they often hire them to actually figure out technical issues. For example, I recall a border dispute between Maryland and Virginia about 10 or 20 years ago. The Supreme Court hired a team to figure it out and they made a recommendation and the Court went with the recommendation.

Sullivan is now a one-man circus as judge, prosecutor, AND defendant in the same case.

You are correct but the aim is not to overcome the Writ of Mandamus.

The aim is use procedural tactics to drag out the proceedings as long as possible.

A delay gives Obama-Clinton Deep State time to launch countermoves.

This is hilarious, and I have to wonder...

...how many times does this happen, where a dummy judge issues a dummy order, gets called out by a higher court, and hires a lawyer to fight it???

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan STINKS.

So a Federal Judge with a wealth of law clerks needs to hire a “heavy” hitter to bail his ass out. Seems unprecedented? Senility setting in?

The question is did he approach her or was she “sent” in to do the clean up?

August? I don't think so, but we'll see.

CJ Roberts and friends will just have to swalwell and realize that only one of the three Appellate judges is an "Obama judge." (haha)

If the Appellate panel is inclined against Sullivan's delay tactics, I believe they won't let Gleeson or any other "amicus" do anything, so either they'll temporarily enjoin further activities of Sullivan's court until their ruling, or simply issue the Writ, ordering Sullivan to grant the dismissal that DOJ's Shea requested.

If the courtroom has a ceiling fan, reinforce it strongly. Hang the judge from it. Turn the fan on. Have trial jurors play bust the piñata. Make sure the replacement judge watches the fun.

At this point it is not clear in what capacity Wilkerson has been hired for. None of the articles or twitter feeds I've read mention the hire is a special master...

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

Judge Sullivan's reply is required by June 1, regardless of who writes it. Since there is no provision for a hearing or oral argument the decision will likely be made shortly after the first of the month.

Well here is the deal. Any judge that cannot defend their own positions has no business being a judge. The circuit court should totally de nigh him from using any lawyer. Did the judge use a lawyer when he issued all of his decisions in the case? Now he needs help explaining why he made the decisions he made. That just does not fly with me. He is admitting that he does not really know. He was just winging it.

“Because he wants a legal mind better than his own to put forward the absolutely best case possible? “

So the judge is admitting that he has no business making ruling of law because he has no idea what he is doing or why he is doing it. So then every decision he ever made should be thrown out.
