Lawyer appointed by Judge Sullivan to offer arguments in Flynn case already has slammed Trump WH's 'improper political influence'.

D.C. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an unusual order Wednesday appointing a law firm partner "to present arguments in opposition to the government's motion to dismiss" the matter -- and to consider whether the court should hold Flynn in contempt for perjury.

The partner, retired federal judge John Gleeson, has openly criticized the Trump administration's handling of Michael Flynn's case, raising concerns that he was selected to improperly bolster Sullivan's efforts to keep the Flynn case alive even though both the government and defendant want it dismissed.

Sullivan has previously suggested Flynn may have committed treason, in a bizarre 2018 courtroom outburst, and seemingly confused key details about Flynn's overseas lobbying work.

What is interesting is in his call to his syncofants ohola cited perjury. Now the corrupt judge says he thinks perjury may have occurred. Kind of dog whistle or evidence the a hole former pissadent had an exparte communication with the dishonorable judge?

Unfortunately, I do see allegiance to skin color being a factor here.

“Who is going to man up and slap down Sullivan and his kangaroo court?”

It is really a Kangaroo court isn’t it?

It’s like another freeper pointed out, the enemy is trying to force Trump to pardon Flynn, which politically looks bad. Even though he is innocent.

it was an ‘ informal’ interview, how can it be perjury without the subject placed under oath.

Sounds like two BillyBob appointees are conspiring to subvert the course of justice.

And in other news: a man was bitten by a Golden Retriever today...

And run out the clock. Graham has publicly stated he’s not interested in the Flynn case until it is over. That gives Sullivan all the cover he needs to continue assaulting Flynn and POTUS.

A very public deep dive of prosectuorial and legal miscoduct against Flynn right now would no doubt move Sullivan and his Lawfare group handlers to dismiss this case. But “our side” will never do that in support of Flynn and Trump so here we are.

The judge seems to believe since Flynn filed a guilty plea and said it in court, that was perjury. Shows the extent of his knowledge. Must have gone to the “close match book cover before striking” school of law.

Hadn’t thought of that, but I think you’re right.

Like during the French Revolution when the guillotine operator had to take a break, he brought out a special guest guillotine operator:

“Men and women of the Revolution, may I introduce to you a special guest, retired but now back in Public Service, let’s have a round of applause for Jacques le Gleesonne.”

This is turning into a condensed American Dreyfus Affair. Flynn and we constitutionalists are attacked in much the same reprehensible manner that Dreyfus and the Jews were.
