In the Fokker case you just cited the DC COA held: "[T]he `leave of court' authority gives no power to a district court to deny a prosecutor's Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss charges based on a disagreement with the prosecution's exercise of charging authority." United States v. Fokker Servs. B.V., 818 F.3d 733, 742 (D.C. Cir. 2016).

The case further held:

The Constitution allocates primacy in criminal charging decisions to the Executive Branch. The Executive's charging authority embraces decisions about whether to initiate charges, whom to prosecute, which charges to bring, and whether to dismiss charges once brought. It has long been settled that the Judiciary generally lacks authority to second-guess those Executive determinations, much less to impose its own charging preferences.

The agenda appears to be Sullivan trying to bait my President into a pardon for Flynn so the fifth column enemy, the dnc whoredom media, can pillory him for pardoning an innocent man, er, a man the left and dnc insist is guilty of something heinous with Russia. I am learning to hate the left and the dnc even more, but not as much as I hate the ‘fifth column, enemy whoredom of the dnc’ media. By November I would like to see Flynn reinstated as DNI. Time to bayonet these lying bastards.

Sullivan forgot that judges don’t prosecute.

This also underscores why the treason trials will have to go before a military tribunal.
