Sullivan could deny all motions and sentence. The US filed a motion to dismiss....denied; he already pled guilty. The defense filed a motion to withdraw the guilty plea and to enter a plea of not guilty....denied. Second defense motion, prosecution should be dismissed for prosecutor misconduct....denied. The only thing left is sentencing...judge rules on how long Flynn is in prison. Denies bail continued until appeals are over....BOOM, Flynn doesn’t walk out the front door. He’s in a van to Club Fed.
That’s the nightmare scenario Flynn is facing.
Surely Powell takes an immediate writ ( in fact I’d do it today for an appellant ruling to toss the amicus briefs out, before they’re even filed).
Flynn may be facing sentencing for a crime he did not commit, for a proper defense he was denied, for prosecutor misconduct, a civil rights violation by illegally monitoring his conversations from 2014, and that makes Democrats comfortable......... and judges who are compromised site easier......but it will mean a lot more taxpayer money will be payed when the damages are settled.
Let the Judge pay the damages to Flynn for the government misconduct. He should pay the price of the obvious civil suit that follows. No, you violate someones rights and have no real crime to start with, its time to pack up and go home. Sullivan has clearly been compromised.
