He may have hired an Attorney, but that isn’t reason enough to ask for a response delay beyond June 1. I suspect he hired that Attorney solely to get a delay. I hope the Appeals Court wont fall for that trick.
No one said the RESPONSE to the appellate ORDER would be delayed beyond June 1st.
There will certainly be a response filed by or on behalf of Sullivan on or before June 1st.
But it doesn’t end on June 1. That’s just the beginning.
The legal discussion is about what procedural delay tactics might be utilized to prolong the case before it is dismissed.
It’s no longer about putting General Flynn in prison or convicting him. It’s about keeping him silent about the case with an existing gag order that remains active as long as the case is not dismissed.
They would want the case to remain open so that the gag order stays in place until after the election.
General Flynn has the goods on Obama, Hillary, and others. If he is allowed to speak, he incriminates them.
So the game is to delay, delay, delay. The response that will be filed on June 1st is not the end. There will be other countermoves to keep the case open
