Bent on destroying Michael Flynn, Judge Emmet Sullivan runs roughshod over the Constitution

If you thought the Michael Flynn case could get any more bizarre, you'd be wrong.

Judge Emmet Sullivan has lost his mind. He is the presiding judge in the Michael Flynn entrapment case and he has now descended into the "Stranger Things" world of judicial activism.

Sullivan is doing his best to ignore the mountain of evidence that proves Lt. General Michael Flynn was set up from day one. Flynn is another victim of the wretched Mueller team and Sullivan has only added to that tragedy. Sullivan has totally lost it and his behavior has been nothing short of egregious. He said of Flynn

“arguably you sold your country out.”

He also questioned whether Flynn could be charged with treason. On that day Sullivan should have recused himself in favor of someone sane.

But no. he wasn't done being stupid.

A week ago the Department of Justice decided to drop the case against Flynn in recognition of the entrapment plot:

The Justice Department on Thursday moved to drop its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, in a stunning development that comes after internal memos were released raising serious questions about the nature of the investigation that led to Flynn’s late 2017 guilty plea of lying to the FBI.

The announcement came in a court filing "after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information," as the department put it. DOJ officials said they concluded that Flynn's interview by the FBI was "untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn" and that the interview was "conducted without any legitimate investigative basis."

Thus both the prosecution and defense both want the case dismissed. Sullivan wasn't going to have any of that. He designated a Clinton judge to argue against the dismissal

Attorney General William Barr called for Flynn’s case to be dismissed after new evidence suggested that the retired general had been set up by the FBI — but instead of dismissing the case outright, Sullivan announced that he would open the door to hear outside arguments against doing so.

Sullivan followed that announcement with an order appointing retired Judge John Gleeson, who was appointed to serve in the Eastern District of New York by former President Bill Clinton in 1994. He resigned from the bench in 2016 and returned to private practice.

Sullivan now wants Flynn charged with perjury, i.e. that Flynn lied when he pled guilty to lying to the FBI.

Got that?

A former US attorney takes exception to Sullivan's actions:

Former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman thought he had "seen everything" over the course of his career until a federal judge opened the door Tuesday for legal experts and other outside parties to oppose the Justice Department’s motion to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Appearing on "Fox & Friends," Tolman said he believed Judge Emmet Sullivan's decision was "outrageous" and that the Washington D.C. judge had turned himself into an "activist," willing to set aside rules, ethics, and precedent in favor of partisanship.

Sullivan is on very thin legal ice:

Sullivan is getting all the attention here. The judge he appointed, Gleeson, deserves a little criticism, too. He’s had two days, at least, to walk away from this. This is assuming he didn’t know about it ahead of time.

Bastard needs to be disbarred then horsewhipped!!

Partner, I still would like to see him "Tarred and Feathered" after he is horse whipped.

These big time DemonRat judges need to be disbarred.

[Truthoverpower]

Every single legal scholar ive heard come out of this says this is completely unprecedented and this guy is completely nuts!!

But look we have Sekulow and some other brilliant attorneys and we can easily turn this thing around if it happens
