Sullivan passing the buck?
This guy can’t be that stupid-—he is being forced to do this.
Or, yes he has all along been a tool of these type DS’ers.
Beyond silly response, which the Appeals Court cannot accept and will overturn, because you can’t be judge and Prosecutor in US-— not yet anyway like some French magistrate.
So, what did the NSA ‘contractor’ give the DNC on the judge?
I’m not reading 46 pages of fluff
The judge was personally ordered to respond. The judge didn’t even sign the response he had “his” attorney respond and sign it.
Who paid for this? Taxpayers?
The reply should be rejected and the judge ordered to appear and show cause why he should not personally be held in contempt.
Seditious Sullivan, UNCLE TOM to the CLOWNS and TERRORISTS,
has no excuse for violating the US Constitution and
the Supreme Court.
HE MUST BE Impeached and removed from the Bench
or the Courts will have the respect of the UN or FIB.
This is ONLY about delay. It is imperative that Flyy in kept from talking freely and has a cloud hanging over his head.
I've been out of the loop today so I don't know if that already happened.
“It is unprecedented for an acting U.S. Attorney to contradict the solemn representations that career prosecutors made time and again, and undermine the district court’s legal and factual findings, in moving on his own to dismiss the charge years after two district Federal judges accepted the defendant’s plea.”
Yes, it’s unprecedented but the actual facts that have come to light are why the charges are being dismissed.
The judge’s attorney put the best lipstick available on the pig.
But notice that he deviated from the procedures which the brief argues he had a right to employ. Then they argue that his approach was more moderate than what is permitted.
I don’t think anyone would have stopped the judge from ruling on the request before him. If he refused to dismiss then Flynn would appeal it.
What the judge actually did was to delay things and to set up a special procedure that seemed like he was acting out of anger rather than caution.
His attorney also seemed to argue that he was being prevented from evaluating or investigating the case before him. But bringing in someone to make arguments for one side is not the same as asking the actual parties before him to give him facts.
Can’t wait to hear what Sidney Powell has to say.
That's it, in a nutshell.

Back to the appeals court I assume. They requested the response.
I’m not plowing through 46 pages of rationale. The upshot is, he’s not backing down, am I right?
Deep State desperate to keep the issue alive thru the election cycle.
If you haven’t read it, basically the judge is claiming he just needed more time to evaluate the contempt citation he was contemplating. He did not argue the specific case law and legal precedents the court had listed in their ruling for judge Sullivan to explain his actions.
To put a fine pencil on it, Judge Sullivan (actually, his defense lawyer) simply argued that he needed more time to contemplate a contempt charge against General Flynn because Flynn had pled guilty in court proceedings presided over by two different judges.
The problem for Sullivan, besides not addressing at all the specific case law cited by the higher Court, is that he is arguing a contempt charge may be in order and essentially proposing that it may be appropriate for him to punish the victim of prosecutorial misconduct for allowing the obvious malfeasance of both the justice department and his original lawyers to effect his plea.
If that behavior is not egregious enough, if you remember, in his public statements to the defense he claimed that he was considering a perjury charge as well as the contempt charge... which reveals that his response to the court is disingenuous at best.
His response is weak and effectively bullshit and I fervently hope the court is not so corrupted by politics that the correct decision cannot be rendered.
More tip toe through the swamp tulips sophistry from the coupists simply because Gaspipe Barr refuses to drop the hammer on them. They need a political, criminal and civil court carpet bombing until they cry uncle. But that won’t be happening because the GOPe have no interest in supporting POTUS against the coup.
