“Start with #122 or sooner and read from there. You may learn something. I doubt you will contribute anything”
Here’s my contribution that will be proven correct. The Appeals Court will receive whatever Judge Sullivan has to say by June 1st and they will then act accordingly under the law. The recent case of Fokker can be argued to no end and will be quickly expedited to a final conclusion. The Appeals Court is clearly interjecting into the lunacy of an amicus call by Judge Sullivan even as he’s avoided any action on the withheld Brady material discovered against his standing order.
Judge Sullivan will go down in flames and this will be the epitaph to his legal career.
The Court of Appeals action will lead to his case being dismissed, one way or another.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it, Hostage!
sure, hire the most conflicted person possible, that will help
Exactly.. Gotta keep that gag order in place at least through early November. That should about do it?
Sorry but you’re not a lawyer nor have you been one.
Flynn IS a democrat...or at least he was. Obama appointed him as the Director of the defense intelligence agency. He was the primary intelligence adviser to the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He did not get along with Clapper or Brennan because he thought they were light weights and he opposed the Iran deal and the CIAs massive off the books Middle East operations that supported and armed radicle groups like ISIS. He also called out Obama and contradicted Brennan and Clapper before Congress when he testified that ISIS was a real and growing threat, not some junior varsity.
Yes, that’s the Bongino et al coverage. There’s also the Hillary - Gulen matter.
Flynn as a Democrat is irrelevant. He’s a patriot, all that matters other than being a believer.
Is that the way it works?
I read it somewhere from what I saw as a good source, I think it is true.
Research it if you want to know now.
“Maybe she’s a defense lawyer for him. Could be the Judge was in on the scam. Barr could be investigating him.”
It seems to me one of the prosecutors quit, and recused himself from all other DOJ matters, perhaps you’re right.
That would be a strong incentive for the deep state to make Trump pardon Flynn, in addition to the political angle of bringing “legal experts” on camera, including more impeachment nonsense.
Magic Negro Judge
I don't think so. The tort of malicious prosecution depends on misuse of the courts, not on the outcome in court. A pardon is a separate event, and does not judge guilt or innocence. A pardon is generally viewed as requiring an admission of guilt and repentance, but any express conditions for pardon are attached by the person doing the pardoning.
That said, if Flynn is pardoned (and there is no reason to do so, he is out of legal jeopardy), the defendants in civil lawsuits by Flynn will argue exactly what was proposed - a pardon is the same as "no foul."
This is as nonsensical as charging him in the first place, but you can bet the argument would have traction in our crooked court system.
An interesting question is whether Sullivan's immunity from suit can be pierced as he wanders so far afield from allowed practice. Flynn is paying for Powell to take the appeal for a writ of mandamus to get Sullivan to stop. Is Sullivan liable for malicious prosecution?
Both prosecutors and judges have "absolute immunity," but the kind a judge has is stronger. "Absolute" isn't really "absolute" in the case of a prosecutor.
Here is a case where a prosecutor was in the line of fire: Freddie Gray vs. Marilyn Mosby.
A couple of esoteric points. The DOJ Motion to drop the case says, expressly, "no crime." There is nothing to pardon there. What Sullivan is yapping about, Criminal Contempt, may be viewed at outside of Trump's pardon power! In criminal contempt, the judge is the prosecutor. POTUS can pardon when HIS branch prosecutes. He can't pardon state crimes. Trump's pardon of Arapio was challenged, and the pardon power was unsuccessfully challenged.
Yes....
Exactly.
That’s why the case needs to be thrown out as the DOJ said. Charges dropped an exoneration period.
Good info.
he meant traitor to the democrat party!
pretty sure kavanaugh has major libtard tendancies.
Sorry I’m right and you’re wrong.
Ok, I’m not sorry you’re wrong.
General Flynn wins as the Appealls Court disrupts and ends the case, one way or another.
