1. DOJ doesn't have to explain itself when it drops charges.
2. There is no plaintiff or charge when it is dropped, therefore there is no case.
3. A judge has no authority to try a case without a plaintiff and a charge.
Beth Wilkinson will lose some cool points in DC for this one. This was obvious.
I've heard that somewhere not all too long ago.
Oh, yes, from Barry's lips in an under-the-influence stupor on a conference call!
Yet, the NYT heartily quoted Barry, repeating that 'unprecedented' claim, which there again, we knew to be hokum.
Yes, it looks like Sullivan has been made to swallow.
Because there is no reason for this Court to “enter the fray now,” In re al-Nashiri, 791 F.3d 71, 81 (D.C. Cir. 2015), the petition should be denied.
There is no "fray". Both parties are in agreement, dismiss the charges. The Judge is attempting to continue a political fray for which is has no authority to pursue.
Reading it now, it looks like a real brief. Asserts the power of the Executive. Cites Fokker. Claims error on part of the Counsel for Judge Sullivan.
I’d say that this round goes to the Solicitor General.
The Constitution vests in the Executive Branch the power to decide when—and when not—to prosecute potential crimes. Exercising that Article II power here, the Executive filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, and petitioner consented. Despite that exercise of prosecutorial discretion, and the lack of any remaining Article III controversy between the parties, the district court failed to grant the motion and bring the case to a close. It instead appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissal and to consider additional criminal charges.
How does this argument compare with the first paragraph of the Sullivan brief? It looks to me like the the Government brought the Constitution to the fight and the Sullivan Counsels brought a demand that career prosecutors should always prevail over their appointed DOJ superiors.
However grotesque their misdeeds as documented by the government.
Mrs. David Gregory is a LOSER in this fiasco,

I read your post. Good analysis. The whole Flynn matter is unprecedented.
Amazing that these briefs are released at the same time that the President stands with the Bible in his hand in front of the burned Church of St. John. Judge Sullivan and the rioters have both been resisted by the United States Constitution and the Holy Bible. We do not have to tolerate the unlawful acts of either the rioters or the Coup d’Etat cabal.
I have no legal experience. Zero.
I do not look at this as a legal case, rather it is purely political.
To those who think the court is not going to buy these blitherings, I say they already have in giving this cretin 10 days to defend when they should have bitch-slapped his lying ass. WHY didn’t they bitc-slap his selfserving prevaricating ass? Because they’re as corrupt as Sullivan and on his side. Sydney is going to go ballistic in a very short while.
This doofus has neither the morality nor the intelligence to serve as a judge in any court...not even traffic court.
Garbage in garbage out.
Agree
Likely 46 pages of dissembling and obfuscation.
Does anyone have a direct link without having to go through CNN?
Someone is threatening his/his family’s lives, and being paid quite well. Maybe there’s also skeletons in his closet.
