In my opinion, the swing vote on this all but stated that Sullivan better abandon whatever plans he had or they would step in and dismiss the charges. I couldn’t help thinking during the hearing that they were giving him “an out”. Whether he is smart enough to receive the message remains to be seen.

Thanks for that, I think I get the authors insinuation in the last paragraph.
