Sooo,did the bad boys of Ted Stevens prosecution go to jail or did Eric Holder care ????? After all,they were his team ,so what if they committed crimes as prosecutors....
Judge sullivan was probably offered a book deal... judging Flynn... but not now
I like General Flynn’s shades.
Foolish man. If you have no charges, you have no case and that's the way it is.
His attorney is going to tell him to resign.
No one has said it, so I'll say it: Someone is bankrolling Sullivan, probably in an account in the Caymans.
Not the first time this Judge has pulled this crap. Go to wiki and see the case in 2009.
Indeed. He should have dismissed the case. Now he put himself under scrutiny and will go out on a corrupt judge note. All for Hussein.
His arce was paid to retire in the 8 and 9 figure range by the likes of Soros. As long as he keeps this up until after the election.
Yup....the judge pulled this same cr** before.
That is my inclination. Why would a criminal defense attorney side with a judge and write his response to the appleate court? Seems to me her client pool would dry up rather quickly..
I don't like Flynn so I'm probably the best person you could ask about this, because I don't have a dog in this hunt.
If I were Flynn's counsel I would permit him to go on FoxNews and call this judge everything but a wm. I mean, contemptible utterings. Raise awareness of this to a fever pitch.
While later the same day, file for emergency cert to SCOTUS, as earlier posters have noted under Constitutional color of law. It would be a pretty damn good case for SCOTUS to restate the law regarding this extrajudicial scenario, particularly as it flies in the fact of their Sineneng-Smith 9-0 whammy issued just a couple of weeks before, so the odds are above-average SCOTUS would take up cert.
Would also file a de novo action from Flynn against Judge Heboon -- both against him a representative of the District Court and severally against Heboon himself -- and allege that mandamus isn't sufficient nor is it expeditious, and base it instead on habeus corpus and the idea that the government is now fully estopped from pursuing any further action against Flynn, and that Heboon is acting as judge and jury to prevent that.
Not to my knowledge. Until sentenced, he is gagged.
Yes, there is really no other explanation for this blatant behavior.
There’s a money trail if someone would bother to snoop around.
Judge Sullivan, you give us no choice but to accelerate the prosecution and individual civil cases against the individual DOJ and FBI agents responsible for the prosecutorial misconduct.
He was first appointed by Reagan (1984 - DC Superior Court), then by G.H.W. Bush (DC Court of Appeals), then Clinton (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia).
Other Sullivan Cases per Wiki:
Sullivan presided over a number of habeas corpus petitions in the early 21st century submitted on behalf of men detained by the United States military at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp as part of President George W. Bush’s response to the 9/11 attacks of terrorism.
Sullivan presided over the 2008 trial of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, who was convicted of seven felony ethics violations in October. During the trial, the judge refused requests by the defense for a mistrial to be declared, after information was revealed that the prosecution had withheld exculpatory Brady material. Eight days after the guilty verdict, Stevens narrowly lost his reelection bid. As more evidence of prosecutorial misconduct became known in early 2009, Judge Sullivan held four prosecutors in civil contempt of court. On April 1, 2009, following a Justice Department probe that found additional evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, the Department of Justice recommended that Stevens’ conviction be dismissed. On April 7, 2009, Sullivan set aside the conviction and appointed a lawyer to investigate the prosecution team for criminal contempt. Subsequently, one of the four prosecutors held in contempt committed suicide. Ultimately, Sullivan dismissed the civil contempt charges, and no additional charges were brought against the prosecutors.
In 2014, Sullivan was presiding over a case, Judicial Watch v. IRS, related to an ongoing investigation into the 2013 IRS controversy. There was an attempt to determine where the deleted emails of former IRS employee Lois Lerner had gone, what damage to her computer hard drive occurred, and what steps the IRS had taken to recover the information contained in the emails and on the hard drive.
In 2015 Sullivan presided over a FOIA lawsuit involving the matter of Hillary Clinton’s private email use while Secretary of State.
According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a woman and her child fled domestic abuse in El Salvador to seek asylum in the U.S. However, the mother was removed from her detention facility and likely put on a plane on August 9, 2018, despite Justice Department promises that she and others would not be deported before the judge could rule on their cases. Sullivan demanded, “Turn that plane around.” He threatened to hold those responsible for the removal in contempt of court, starting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, if the situation was not rectified. A Department of Homeland Security official stated, “We are complying with the court’s requests...the plaintiffs will not disembark and will be promptly returned to the United States.”
President Donald Trump
In a lawsuit against President Trump, Sullivan presided over a District Court suit, Blumenthal v. Trump, involving payments by foreign governments to Trump-owned hotels. Sullivan granted in part and denied in part the Trump team’s motion to dismiss for lack of standing; denied the motion to dismiss for failure to state claim; and certified interlocutory appeal. On February 7, 2020, in a per curiam decision, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that individual members of Congress lacked standing to bring action against the president. The court, finding in favor of Trump, reversed and remanded Sullivan’s holding that the members of Congress had standing to sue, and instructed him to dismiss the complaint.
I just learned something important from you. I didn’t know General Flynn was under a gag order!!! I thought he was quiet so as not to irritate the judge and damage his case.
The judge is quite biased. Even Flynn’s defense attorneys before Sidney Powell seemed suspiciously incompetent. Interestingly, Eric Holder, Obama’s AG, is a partner in their law firm:

Poor Flynn has been surrounded on all sides by swamp monsters. Thank heaven for Sidney Powell.
Yep. He has been gagged from the beginning of this farce.
Why? Mueller and Co. demanded it.
...the fact is that our nation’s law schools are inundated with liberals...
