Brother/Sister.....I can only hope and pray that what you typed, happens. But, I don’t think Sullivan is the hero that some are making him out to be. He has a lifetime appointment. He’s been there a while so it’s not like he’s just starting out.
He can hammer the DOJ/FBI if he wanted to. I mean, absolutely hammer them, by holding them in contempt and putting them in a jail cell. That hasn’t happened and I doubt it will.
If nothing else, he’s giving them the ability to cover their tracks on the way out the door. He’ll come up with some symbolic punishment like what happened to the DOJ lawyers and Sen Stevens. Both of whom sued and got all their time and money back, after they were suspended, when they should have been disbarred.
If a lawsuit is filed, either Sullivan or another DC Judge will toss it and tell the General that he’s lucky to not be in prison and he should leave the building.
I hope I’m wrong about every single thing I just typed. I truly hope I am. But, after seeing all that has gone on. Knowing that Strzok, Page, McCabe, Baker and Comey, etc are still walking around, instead of being in custody under the NDAA I don’t have much hope that justice will be done.
Thumbs Up!!!

What do you mean by "(R)N(C) member"?
This has been eating me since July of 2016 when the virulent animosity began to really rise to the top.
Then I saw what they did to President Trump, Gen. Flynn, and George Papadopoulos post election.
Made me steam as well.
I just finished Papadopoulos’ book “Deep State Target”, and while he doesn’t come across to me as likeable guy, and appears to be someone who keeps agreeing to meet people long after he should have locked his doors, I recognize in his job kind of required him to do that. But that said, it made my blood boil to see the coercive power of the US Government used against him for obvious political reasons.
If you have ever heard the term “Kafkaesque” (a term completely and totally burned out by the Left to describe waiting too long in line at Starbucks for a Caffe Macchiatto) his book is the modern) to describe a waking nightmare caught in the grip of a malevolent bureaucracy, “Deep State Target” fits the bill.
That’s BS. Do you mean to tell me that no one at the DOJ asked Strzok or Pientka to verify who wrote the notes? And why weren’t they signed by the person who prepared them to begin with? The f’ers knew, but deliberately chose to manipulate the evidence. That you can count on.
Clinton and Nixon were lawyers!
I would rather rely on on Messrs. Browning , Colt, Smith and Wesson!
I’m kind of dense; is this an attempt to take heat off of Strozk, while telling the judge, “Oh, by the way, we need a do-over”?
This is all very intriguing, like a high stakes Clue game.
I find myself immersed in more important things, so I leave you to ruminate all things Flynn. Today I take my wife in for another shot of chemo. It puts things in perspective.
“I’m kind of dense; is this an attempt to take heat off of Strozk, while telling the judge, “Oh, by the way, we need a do-over”?”
This submission by the defense explains why the DOJ came back and said we mixed up the agent’s notes. But it looks like that might be a lie..

Your comment highlights the essential reason(s) for our predicament in the first place: entitlement & expectations, as if citizens were literally born of the manner with silver spoons in our mouths. How did we develop this collective mindset? Did any of our forebears hold the same sentiments?
You see, the post WWII generation(s) have been entirely shielded from the regular conflicts that have visited every society since before the dawn of man. It's what animals do - including the bald ape: fight over scarce resources in an effort to live, breed and raise the next succeeding generation.
You & I don't deserve "optimism and good cheer"; rather, we must all fight for it everyday, and if successful, take a rest break to enjoy and reminisce about the struggle. Consider Shakespeares' famous line in Henry V "... we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; ..."
Hitler bullied Europe into conceding territory and treaty amendments until a few nations finally stood up. So too the US governing elite; they took our measure and found it wanting. So, they did (are doing) exactly what every tyrant throughout history has done. They simply have their way acting through force, wile and fraud until somebody, somewhere stands up to them.
From a classic (invented) moral basis, they're not really bad guys. Consider the scorpion and frog. Psychopaths didn't ask to be born that way, and certainly cannot change/alter who they are - they're literally genetically created. So, it's not really their fault, just like a mad dog didn't purposely go out and develop rabies.
But this perspective isn't meant to imply excuse their behavior or that we concede. No, it's merely yet another touch of advice that if one is emotionally upset or invested, IMO you still don't have the internal fortitude to take on the power of the deep state. It has to become more routine, more like "Yeah, that's the way it is. Poor devils have to be put down, otherwise we'll never get any peace and quiet around here".
The complaining, the emotional distress, these are all negative qualities that make men shake when the enemy is bearing down. We have to come to grips with what has happened, accept that it's part of parcel of the natural arc of all government institutions, roll up our sleeves and get down to the hard work of actually taking back what we like to talk about: our country.
Yeah well, the cameras on Jeff Epstein hall weren’t working on the day he died and everyone knew there was a possibility he would die. I’m not putting anything past these people.
The last line of defense is the Second Amendment and strong citizens willing to use it.
“I feared for my life. I want to talk to my attorney”.
No matter what the circumstances, that pretty much sums it up.
Interesting that Judge Emmet Sullivan was likewise the Judge in the Ted Stevens fiasco! Interesting comments regards Ted Stevens case!
“On April 7, 2009, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia unleashed his fury before a packed courtroom. For 14 minutes, he scolded. He chastised. He fumed. On April 7, 2009, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia unleashed his fury before a packed courtroom. For 14 minutes, he scolded. He chastised. He fumed. “In nearly 25 years on the bench,” he said, “I’ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I’ve seen in this case.” “
This means two things:
1. The charges would be dismissed WITH PREJUDICE (which means the prosecution can’t re-time the charges even if they wanted to).
2. Flynn would have the legal standing to sue the DOJ and the prosecutors.
If the motion to dismiss the charges is successful, Flynn would likely end up more like Richard Jewell than Ted Stevens.
They never thought She would lose . . .
Flynn’s former lawyers were working FOR the prosecutors and against Flynn’s interests.
I surely hope that you are right.
“Lawyers are the last line of defense against the government”
Lawyers should be avoided at all times possible in life
They are parasites on the rest of us.
Between them and their source of great wealth (The insurance companies)they have the bigggest /best scheme to enrich themselves ever invented !
Statistically, lawyers ARE the government.
