It actually seems obvious. The judge is being blackmailed. Just like Roberts.
I will say it one more time. If this Judge can’t defend his own legal decisions then he has no business being a judge. This right here should be the end of his life as a judge.
Did the judge hire a lawyer in order to write all his legal decisions involving Flynn? Of course not.
I’ve served as a law clerk for a judge who was the subject of several mandamus petitions, and I have never heard of the trial judge hiring a lawyer. But then again I have never seen an appellate court ask the trial judge to respond to the petition. Usually they ask the opposing party (procedurally called the “real party in interest”) to file a response.
It makes some sense. The judge probably hasn’t written a brief in years, and his law clerks have never written one other than in law school.
But I wonder who is paying the lawyer. Is he paying her out of his pocket, or is she working for free? I should hope the government isn’t paying her.
Of course, the fact that he is hiring a lawyer to advocate against a criminal defendant before his court—not to mention that he has already appointed another lawyer to argue against the defendant—just highlights everything wrong with what he has done. It is a fundamental element of due process in this country that the tribunal be impartial. Plainly, Judge Sullivan is not.
It’s a very strange situation where the prosecutor is now the judge.
I wonder if Sullivan can appeal an enjoinment or Writ to SCOTUS thereby causing further delay.
It’s all about the delay because of the GAG ORDER.
General Flynn is not allowed to discuss matters of the case until the case is dismissed.
If he can’t discuss the case, then he can’t use what he knows to go after Obama and Hillary.
He has the goods on them.
It’s no longer about putting him in jail, it’s about shutting him up until after the election..
Yes ever hear of Alcee Hastings impeached federal judge...
You are low class, like I thought. If you know the due date is June 1 and you still wrote what you wrote, tells me you have nothing better to do with your time. Pity your family.
You sound confident. I’ll go with your answer.
“Looks like Obama’s lackey is hiring a deep state attorney to write his response causing more delay.”
Appeal Court already set a deadline for any response from Judge Sullivan by June 1st.
That is not changing. His lawyer should be advising Emmet Sullivan to give up the ghost and sign a dismissal before but the Deep State probably demands some cover and a written response to try and delay the inevitable bitchslap which will shortly follow from the Appeals Court.
I’ve thought that Sullivan does have a gun to his head, and has to deliver.
Who hired this attorney, the court or Sullivan personally?
Just what is her charge here?
Why did you not spell out CV?
GFY and get lost!
You are missing important legal procedural matters.
Start with #122 and get caught up.
Of course, I know the June 1 response date. But that’s not the end of it.
Start with #122 or sooner and read from there. You may learn something. I doubt you will contribute anything because it’s apparent you have no legal background or experience. But at least learn something.
I’m not a lawyer or even well versed in the law but this seems bizarre.
He better put what he knows in a secret lawyers office..
Yes, he is likely to get Epsteined, if he tries to expose corruption.
> “The circuit court should totally de nigh him from using any lawyer.”
That will probably not happen before June 1.
The point is the appellate order is not procedurally in line with the Writ.
The appellate order is a shot across Sullivan’s bow. It gives him a chance to dismiss and render moot before they take him to task.
But he’s not doing it, why?
Because the Deep State mafia are holding a gun to his head, why?
Because of the GAG ORDER.
The gag order requires Flynn to keep silent about the case. Why is this important?
Because General Flynn has incriminating evidence on Obama, Hillary, and many others.
They need him to shut up. They would like him dead or in jail, but they lost those options. So they need him to be silent, how?
Keep the Gag Order in place, how?
Keep the case from being dismissed, how? It’s impossible right?
Delay dismissal by any means possible. Use court procedural tactics.
June 1 is just the start.
You missed a key part of the discussion led by Sydney Powell herself.
The Appellate order was not to respond to the Writ motion. It was to explain the legal reasoning Sullivan is using in not dismissing the case.
In effect, the order requires Sullivan to lay his cards on the table.
In effect, the appellate court is giving Sullivan a chance to bow out by dismissing the case and thereby render the Writ matter moot.
Someone has decided the Judge will not bow out.
By responding June 1, the appellate court will take time to review what is surely expected to be a long response. Then they must ask Sullivan to respond to the motion for a Writ of Mandamus which triggers court rules of notice, calendar, reply etc.
By getting into the weeds of procedural delaytactics, the Deep State buys time for countermoves.
Makes sense.
I was reading the Last Resort story about the judge hiring the lawyer and there was speculation about why. I read of all the connections the lawyer had with Hillary & Obama’s higher ups, then I realize the lawyer was a conduit between the judge & Obama. Need to keep communications open but not public or even behind closed doors. Too many leaks possible, but with a lawyer there is a closed protected untraceable line of communication.
