“Sullivan in fact does seem to indicate he wants amicus briefs.”
Doesn’t he have to accept both pro and con briefs? Can’t those who wanted to submit briefs before, but were rejected, now able to do so?
They’re setting the stage to get ready to talk about forming a Blue Ribbon Non Partisan Committee to look into forming a framework to develop options that could be considered as recommendations in a possible range of responses to serious concerns that have been raised.
It’ll be ready sometime in 2037.
Maybe.

Every day I wonder if there’s even ONE person in DOJ, FBI, etc., who loves America.
Sullivan wants to sentence Flynn and force Trump to pardon him. It is all about the November election and what these dem operatives including Sullivan can do to tip the political balance in their favor.
I’ve become so cynical. I hope I’m wrong, but I think they are setting the stage for their new book...……... for us to buy.
“So when is Obummer going to jail? I’m not holding my breath.”
We all know that charges will never be brought against Obama no matter how much proof we have of his crimes.
President Trump should make a big show of pardoning Obama. It says to the world Obama is guilty of criminal offenses and would send Obama and all of the media into a glorious hissy fit.
Do you think the Covington group represented Flynn better than Sidney Powell has?
Or...the Judge could be retaining jurisdiction over the case and looking at action against the Prosecutors as he tried to do in the Stevens case.
I was actually wondering if people were jumping the gun as far as him dismissing now.
He’s got a lot of detailed information on how the previous judge, and now he, have been lied to and defied. It’s plausible he might be of a mind to do something about it - especially since he has firm evidence that the Mueller team defied his Brady instructions.
WEIRD point of view.
I would hope that you are right. If I were the judge, I would be personally very upset with the prosecution over their lies and unethical behavior.
I guess my concern is that the judge might be personally very upset that his pals on the prosecution side failed to get the job done and now he has to step in and screw Flynn all by himself.
We shall see which way the judge leans.
I heard it aptly put this way: If someone pleaded guilty after being waterboarded or tortured, would that be acceptable? It’s a clear way to make Flynn’s plea understandable. It cost him all his money to defend himself, and then the FBI threatened his son.
Is the judge even aware of this?
A Word of Caution: Don't get your hopes too high.
How many times previously have we been led to believe that justice was going to be meted out, only to have our hopes dashed. Case in point: Madam Hillary Benghazi continues to walk free.
What we demand is the Truth--Truth for its own sake.
Anyone who does not demand this is neither honest nor benevolent.
That may the best justice we can expect in these times....sigh...
Maybe a couple of years too late—if to happen at all.
“Do you think the Covington group represented Flynn better than Sidney Powell has?”
Absolutely yes, but that is not saying much. There must be a thousand lawyers in DC who would have done a better job than both at a much smaller price.
Why the brilliant, well connected, super-smart, savvy, omniscient Flynn chose Deep State Covington is a complete puzzle, but Flynn did the choosing.
Based on the pathetic weakness of the charges against him, it is amazing he did not go to trial and fight all the way. But he decided not to fight.
One of the things Powell is scared of is the issue of whether the government promised not to prosecute Flynn’s son. Apparently, the government says no. Flynn says yes, now. But Flynn said there was no such promise when he pleaded guilty, under oath, twice. (Thus subjecting Flynn to actual perjury charges, now).
There are many reasons why someone pleads guilty. What they are in Flynn’s case we do not know because we were not privy to the plea negotiations. But Covington will surely be in a position to explain in detail, something Powell most likely wants to avoid.
Once Flynn pleaded guilty, with 6 months as the most he could get, the case was over, and the pardon could have been given. We are told endlessly that money was a big deal, but what about the legal fees and expenses happening now? What makes them worth incurring now? They could have been over, especially if Flynn had chosen a cheaper option in the beginning.
We do not know how this will all end, and neither does Powell. She never knew. How could she then advise Flynn to throw it all away?
Barr chose VERY narrow grounds for asking to drop the case - - materiality, not government misconduct. Barr thus obviated all the garbage Powell created, and let her off the hook.
Sullivan doesn’t have to do anything. That is the secret people do not get.
But put yourself in Sullivan’s position as a human being. Just look at this site, where he is constantly subjected to insults and trashing, truly vile stuff. And look at how he is characterized outside this site. Same thing, all courtesy of how Powell has publicly handled the case.
And think of how Flynn, by his own admission and “confession” has lied to Sullivan’s face, just as Flynn lied to Pence’s face, Spicer’s face and Trump’s face. (I wish I could find the video of Trump talking about Flynn’s firing, where Trump said, in effect, Flynn insulted me by lying to my face, treating me like some idiot.)
If ever there a judge with a desire to set the record straight, it is Sullivan.
And BTW: did Flynn accept money from a foreign government to represent their interests? I would love to know the truth. And was the slimey McChrystal actually Flynn’s partner? Would love to know that, too.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
