Flynn, with the assistance of Barr will take his case to the SCOTUS.
Judges shouldn’t grandstand for political reasons. We are living in strange times.
When I allow myself to be optimistic, I see the above as a great possibility.
Normally, if Trump convened military tribunals, I think people would worry that we would be going down a very dark path (dictatorship). But under the circumstances, it seems like the only way we can see anything like justice. The courts have been fouled.
Why can’t Emmett Sullivan be removed from his post for his obvious display of prejudice? Fear of removal is what prevents most judges from being opinionated arseholes ...
The two-step solution to this is now equally obvious: Pardon General Flynn and convene the military tribunals. The federal courts, like every other aspect of the federal government, have been hopelessly corrupted by the only existential threat our country has faced since the end of WWII: The Democrat Party.
Really, Don? Is this supposed to be a serious suggestion?
The "military tribunals" suggestion is zany enough, but issuing a pardon to Flynn right now would be an unnecessary and stupid move, politically.
I see no chance of any Obama crew being convicted or even indicted in the DC Federal Court Swamp...won’t happen in the current political climate.
Moving the proceedings to a red-state district would work, but will not be seen as fair!
A military tribunal to prosecute the Coup masters may be the only solution for real justice!
Did Flynn lie to Sullivan’s face or not? In his declaration, Flynn apparently confesses to multiple perjuries committed to Sullivan’s face. The FBI did not do that, Flynn did that, after Powell blundered herself into doing something she said repeatedly she did NOT want to do: move to withdraw the plea.
I have yet to see the legal argument that Flynn did not lie to Sullivan’s face, in court, under oath, after Sullivan warned Flynn that Flynn could get in trouble for doing so.
What is that argument? Please, someone, anyone, Powell especially, tell us how Flynn did not lie to Sullivan’s face! And if Flynn lied to Sullivan’s face, how is it corrupt for Sullivan to hold Flynn in contempt?
A person who has been framed and set up is not entitled to a free pass to commit crimes as a result.
People can insist that Powell is a brilliant lawyer all they want, but her representation of Flynn has been grossly incompetent. Instead of leaving well enough alone, she embarked on a reckless legal strategy which she NEVER justified with coherent legal arguments. And now she has put her client in a perilous position legally, totally unnecessarily, and in defiance of good judgment.
People can scream corruption all they want, but one bad deed does not justify another bad deed.
If DB is so confident that Sullivan is corrupt, it ought to be very easy for him to refute the actual substance of what Sullivan is getting at, that Flynn lied to Sullivan’s face.
People on our side need to be more realistic about this case, about Powell’s incompetence, and about Flynn’s behavior, but I know that will not happen, and I understand why, although this (IMO) is the worst possible case to choose in attacking deep state treachery.
I think Judge Sullivan has just been following orders in this case.
He has been ordered to threaten General Flynn and keep the true evidence out of the case.
The people controlling him almost succeeded.
After the plea was withdrawn the judge took five days before issuing the unprecedented and probably illegal order.
The Obama administration has been trying to destroy General Flynn for years.
This shows that Flynn is a good and patriotic man who is a threat to the corrupt Obama people.
Flynn must be totally exonerated not pardoned.
The racist POS judge has shown his bias against Gen. Flynn both by his words and deeds. Shouldn’t this be enough to get him off the case?
United States v. Fokker. Sullivan is in error, nuff said.
Wonder what the process is to impeach a judge.
Either a racist judge or sadist, or both.
A white man being abused by his own government, and the black judge wants it to continue for his pleasure. All this as Obama demands it continue.
These people are literally destroying the United States. War is on the horizon.
Military courts? The courts that let AWOL Berghdahl off and smeared POTUS with undue command influence? They won’t be any better than judge Sullivan. Guaranteed.
No the step now is go to the circuit court, obtain a writ of mandamus and then dismiss the charges and reassign the case to another judge. That is the standard remedy for this Situation.
That’s no Judge he’s a pawn.
The Attorney General should convene a federal grand jury to indict this out of control judge.
