I may be Captain Obvious, but someone this biased shouldn’t be a judge. How he rose up the ranks into his position is beyond me.
What if the Judge was part of it? I admittedly have nothing to back this up and I will give the benefit of the doubt to the court in what has been a highly irregular case from start to finish, but why has this case dragged on for so long?
Was the goal to punish Flynn or to keep him silent? As long as this continues he is under a gag order by the court. Is that more important to the deep state than their pound of flesh?
What is it that Flynn will say once this gag order is lifted and is that the reason it has dragged on for years? Will Flynn come out and talk about the pressure the special counsel persecutors put on him to make something up about Trump? They did that to Papadopoulus who has said so multiple times.
Was there backchannel communication going on between the Judge and the conspirators? I would have to see evidence of this, but the whole thing is so bizarre and legally tenuous that I cannot dismiss the “conspiracy theory” out of hand.
They could have moved for sentencing long ago, but they didn’t. Why? The only benefits I can see to dragging this out are to keep Flynn silent, preserve the talking point for the left/media, and not deal perhaps the biggest blow to the already eroded credibility of the Mueller investigation.
They know they are not going to “punish” Flynn, but until the case is formally dismissed they can muzzle him. That appears to be the goal and the court now appears to be trying to carry it out with the bizarre legal wrangling (at least until November).
I understand and commiserate, but the fact is that our nation's law schools are inundated with liberals, who choose who gets accepted, and who determine the curriculum. They promote group think, and there are few groups in the nation more arrogant (with less reason) than law professors.
That we have any reasonable and conservative judges is somewhat miraculous. Regarding 'rising up through the ranks', in all walks of society this is determined less by talent and hard work, and more by politics. It's just the way things are - but they need to change.
He was appointed by Clinton. That’s how.
This is the same corrupt judege that destroyed the career of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, before being forced to dismiss the fraudulent charges after the election.
How he rose up the ranks into his position is beyond me.

I find that difficult to believe unless, that is, you have not seen his mug in the media.
I’ll go a step further and say Judge Sullivan needs to spark a new definition of ‘hanging judge.’ The behavior is so outrageous that a Nuremburg trial and hempen necktie therapy would be in order here.
