"There was speculation that Sullivan refused to toss the case, appointed Gleeson to keep it going, and hoped this could spill into after the election, where a Democratic DOJ could drop the motion to dismiss."

Same thing with Durham's work. It's critical that some punishment is meted out before the election. Losing the Senate or presidency and/or failure to retake the House will mean EVERYTHING is shut down and they will all skate. It's bad enough that most of them are going to skate, but this would be a disaster.

The longer Flynn can be kept in legal limbo, the longer he is silenced from telling the truth behind Obama’s illegal billions. That need to tell the truth is what started this persecution in the first place.

The biggest reason for a judge to hire an attorney in a matter like this is that he may know he's facing personal legal or ethical exposure.

Hiring this lawyer might just be another delaying tactic. Sullivan could claim his new lawyer needs more time to become familiar with the case. If I was the Appeal Court my response would be ‘what part of within 10 days don't you understand? ‘

DC-based lawyer Aaron Worthing asked if Wilkerson was doing this pro bono since the bill is probably going to be quite steep, especially for someone on a judge’s salary.

The major Washington firms do pro bono work all the time for highly politicized causes. It's just another form of political warfare. One firm that can remain nameless represented Greenpeace in a suit against the Navy for colliding with one of their protest vessels. That firm, almost entirely allied with the Democratic party, had lobbying arms and law partners raking in tens of millions of dollars representing the defense industry (and thereby, arguably raising the cost of acquisition of weapons systems and technology for the nation's defense) but managed to find the time to represent, gratis, a protest organization that was suing the Navy (thereby driving up the cost to the taxpayers of defending the suit.) A nice snarky move, that allows them to attribute the hours donated as pro bono representation, while getting in some kicks and generating some bad press for the Republicans in the White House at the time.

The role of law firms acting as cut outs - a law Perkins Coie in the Russiagate Scam - is something as big as the proverbial 900 lb. gorilla in the living room, that the press in DC cannot manage to find with both hands. So, expecting them to notice this pro bono practice is maybe a bit much...

I may be Captain Obvious, but someone this biased shouldn’t be a judge. How he rose up the ranks into his position is beyond me.

In Sullivan’s mind, the ends justify the means.

What if the Judge was part of it? I admittedly have nothing to back this up and I will give the benefit of the doubt to the court in what has been a highly irregular case from start to finish, but why has this case dragged on for so long?

Was the goal to punish Flynn or to keep him silent? As long as this continues he is under a gag order by the court. Is that more important to the deep state than their pound of flesh?

What is it that Flynn will say once this gag order is lifted and is that the reason it has dragged on for years? Will Flynn come out and talk about the pressure the special counsel persecutors put on him to make something up about Trump? They did that to Papadopoulus who has said so multiple times.

Was there backchannel communication going on between the Judge and the conspirators? I would have to see evidence of this, but the whole thing is so bizarre and legally tenuous that I cannot dismiss the “conspiracy theory” out of hand.

They could have moved for sentencing long ago, but they didn’t. Why? The only benefits I can see to dragging this out are to keep Flynn silent, preserve the talking point for the left/media, and not deal perhaps the biggest blow to the already eroded credibility of the Mueller investigation.

They know they are not going to “punish” Flynn, but until the case is formally dismissed they can muzzle him. That appears to be the goal and the court now appears to be trying to carry it out with the bizarre legal wrangling (at least until November).

Representing a sitting judge pro bono or not means that neither that attorney, nor likely their firm, can appear before that judge on behalf of a client in the future.

"I may be Captain Obvious, but someone this biased shouldn’t be a judge. How he rose up the ranks into his position is beyond me."

I understand and commiserate, but the fact is that our nation's law schools are inundated with liberals, who choose who gets accepted, and who determine the curriculum. They promote group think, and there are few groups in the nation more arrogant (with less reason) than law professors.

That we have any reasonable and conservative judges is somewhat miraculous. Regarding 'rising up through the ranks', in all walks of society this is determined less by talent and hard work, and more by politics. It's just the way things are - but they need to change.

The key question here is

What intercept -- produced by Comey/Brennan/Clappers' illegal domestic use of "The HAMMER" (illicit surveillance supercomputer) at Ft. Washington, MD -- provided the "dirt" with which they are blackmailing Judge Emmet Sullivan?
