In New Court Filing, Top Senators Blast Rogue Judge’s Refusal To Dismiss Flynn Case

The Federalist ^ | June 1, 2020 | Sean Davis and Mollie Hemmingway

Sullivan’s actions violate the Constitution’s clear separation of powers on which branch of government may prosecute American citizens, the senators assert, citing the U.S. Constitution, quotes from Founding Fathers, and longstanding federal court precedent.

Why is not Sullivan being impeached and thrown out? He is a rogue lawyer in a black robe.

And when will the Pelosi House vote those articles of impeachment?

[jacknhoo]

“We need a new party in the worst way.”

Yes, we do, and term limits.

No, Sullivan responded today. Actually, his law firm responded. Who is paying them, anyways? Is it pro bono?

It full of huff and puff about fairness and tries to drag Flynn through the mud again and minimizes the legal issues, which are significant.

Don’t have the law, argue the facts. Exactly what Sullivan’s response is about.

It’s the least they could do. Literally the least.

I'll bite.

What is the most the six senators could do in this case?

What is the most the six senators could do in this case?

There are thousands of things they could do. In fact you've been watching the dems doing it for years. But here's an example: 3 1/2 years ago, they could have investigated the leaking, the false Trump dossier, the fisa abuses; Or 4 months ago they could have investigated the so called whistle blower or IG shenanigans to get impeachment started. It goes on and on. But in the end they did nothing but investigate Trump Jr.

Those are nice things the Senate could have done.

I don't think those are things these six senators could have done. Especially when McCain and Flake were still Senators.

[Starboard]

The only reason most people vote GOP is because the alternative is worse. Otherwise there’s no reason to vote for them.

The GOP is a fake party.

[lodi90]

Another stern letter when we need substance from the GOP controlled Senate. Recall Tom Cotton’s stern letter to the ICIG? What became of that. Nothing.

[marktwain]

Why is not Sullivan being impeached and thrown out? He is a rogue lawyer in a black robe.

We have been asking those questions for 70 years.

The answer is simple. The progressives in both parties in Congress do not want to do so, and like the unconstitutional power the Courts have given them. They also like to be able to shift blame to the courts, so they can remain unaccountable.

It is a back slapping progressive conspiracy to take power from the people and redistribute it among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

...A very strongly worded letter. That’ll do the trick.

The Constitution is set up so that whenever two branches of the Government oppose the third, the third side loses. Having the signature of the Senate Majority leader on this letter all but guarantees Sullivan is going to lose. Since the Supreme Court has already ruled on something similar to Sullivan's behavior he is actually opposed by all 3 branches now.

I don't think Sullivan cares about winning. He has been willing to utterly shred his reputation in this case. Even when kicked in the guy by a higher court he has shown defiance. I believe he is a puppet of someone else, doing what he's told and they must have some crazy level of control to get him to play along so strenuously. There's just no other reasonable reason for a long standing federal judge to make himself into a nationwide mockery over a case that, at best, is just a process crime.

I contend that short of impeaching this 'judge' no letter from a few Senators, no matter how strongly they express their disappointment and sadness, is going to move the needle one iota with this judge. I suspect the higher court doesn't have the backbone to shut him down either. We'll see. But I think he's going to crucify Flynn and nobody is going to stop him.

...I believe he is a puppet of someone else,

There is a fellow on Twitter @Johnheretohelp. This fellow claims Sullivan covered up a crime of his first son: that Sullivan's oldest son raped a 12 year girl and left her for dead.
