The judge can have his hearing but then must drop the case

Wanna bet? One of two things will happen: (1) the case will drag on past Election Day, or (2) Flynn will be sentenced. It's possible both could occur.

“””Case won’t be dropped. Sullivan is going to give Flynn about 3 years for lying to the court.””””

How do you get sentenced when the case was dropped by the prosecutor?

Barr ought to do a HUGE PUBLIC document drop, revealing in detail just how biased and deceptive the prosecution was.

Amazing! Trump just needs to pardon him and bring this facade to an end!

———-

May be wrong but pardon may negate his ability to sue once vindicated which to me must be protected

Appeals court substitutes rule of law for political objectives.

Anyone who did not realize how corrupt our entire government was when ALL of our elected and appointed failed to honor their oath to the Constitution on Usurpation Day better wake up soon.

My question is, why hasn’t he talked about that? Is he under a gag order?

Why is it that they hate him so much? This is something I’ve never understood.

He did not lie to the court. Guilty pleas are withdrawn.

“Sullivan is going to give Flynn about 3 years for lying to the court.”

Yes, he is under a gag order. THAT alone is why they want to punt this past the election. He will blow the lid off of so much very publicly.

Doesn’t Roberts have jurisdiction of the this appellate court? Also can’t he reach down and take it from them if a majority of the supremes will hear it?

You're hoping Roberts will come in and save the day? One of the most politicized judges on the federal bench?

I just don't see it.

No. A pardon indicates guilt. Flynn is not guilty.

You get sentenced because he plead guilty.

As a judge, you say “I accept your plea. Because the government failed to provide recommendations , I must use the i reaction from the sentencing guidelines. Therefore, you are sentenced to.....”

That is how the judge does it.

And I would bet that is how it plays out.

Not really a setback. The court decided that, until Sullivan actually fails to dismiss the case, Flynn can’t ask the next court to intervene.

Most of them seem to believe the case needs to be dismissed, but that Sullivan has the right to hold a hearing about the dismissal before ruling on it.

Sadly, if they had not sued, and won, months ago, this case would probably be over.

Duh. We knew the DC Circuit was going to do this. Keeping this alive until after the election is a major D goal.

“Sullivan is going to give Flynn about 3 years for lying to the court.”

For the D’s, I think the sentence is less important than keeping the gag order in effect through November.
