Emmet Sullivan has now defied a Federal Appeals Court Order to dismiss the case against the innocent General Michael Flynn.
Sullivan, who presides over what the Justice Department now admits was the wrongful prosecution of President Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, refuses to dismiss the case despite an outstanding order from a higher court to do so.
It does not matter if the US Appeals Court is right or wrong anymore, what matters is, they legally ordered Emmet Sullivan to dismiss a case and he has now defied that order. That is CONTEMPT OF A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT.
Once a court is defied, then either Attorney General William Barr, or the Judges of the Appeals Court, any one of them, simply signs a warrant for the arrest of Emmet Sullivan, on contempt charges. This then is handed to the United States Marshals who promptly go out and arrest Comrade Sullivan. There does not need to be an impeachment or any trial.
At this point, a new federal Judge will be appointed to replace Sullivan, and a new federal Judge will be ordered to carry out the orders of dismissing the case against Michael Flynn, there is even a reality that any of the Appeals Judges can sign the dismissal as presiding over this kangaroo court of Sullivan.
Emmet Sullivan, should be handcuffed, hauled away in a van, finger printed, anal searched, dressed in orange jump suit and dumped into the grey bar hotel with the common population. Nothing would be more fitting for what this horrid person has put Michael Flynn through. Let Emmet Sullivan experience what it is like to want to be freed and a Judge will not hear his plea and leave him rot in prison.

I’m gonna self-censor on this one too.
There is no order from the Appeals Court in effect until the Mandate issues. The Mandate has not yet issued because Judge Sullivan has filed a Petition for Rehearing.
Dirty “Judge” Sullivan proves it is time
for judges to be arrested and defunded, and
to begin a military takeover.
Yes, that is what ought to happen. But it is highly unlikely.
If the Appeals Court overrules Judge Sullivan why then do they even need to have him sign off on the matter?
Who is this idiot? An appellate order is not enforceable until the mandate is issued. The mandate has not issued because he filed a timely petition for rehearing. Clown knows nothing about the law.
Lurking Libertarian, you and Coloradotanker are pretty knowledgeable about the workings of the Courts - how long will it take for the Petition for Rehearing to be scheduled, processed, and completed? Will this take a few more years?
I do not understand why this guy is throwing himself under the train to prosecute Flynn? I’d like to know what kind of extortion is going on that would make this judge go to these lengths. An innocent man was coerced to plead guilty by threatening his family. And then ultimately he changed his plea when exculpatory evidence that was withheld by the prosecution was uncovered. To the extent that the prosecution was forced to drop the case! Fathom the contorted logic to try and prosecute him for perjury? AND THEN appeal a judicial order for a rehearing.
If he cannot or will not adhere to the concept of presumed innocence then what is he doing on a judicial bench to begin with! This whole case puzzles me. There’s an undercurrent here that i can’t identify.
Sorry, you’re jumping the gun.
It’s not contempt until he’s found to be in contempt, by the court that issued the order. Which finding they would initiate by an Order to Show Cause. That won’t happen yet because he has asked for an en banc review, which the Court of Appeal is going to decide whether to grant, after receiving argumentative briefs. Even if they agree to hear it, that does not mean they will overturn the decision. He’s playing out the string.
He may be contempible, contemptuous, cantankerous, calamitous, cacaphonous, carboniferous, and cretaceous, but he’s not in contempt. Not yet.
Can’t do that. He has appealed for an en banc hearing
Oh good grief. Move to another country that believes in military takeovers.
Emmitt is an Obama appointee. No one connected to Obama ever gets into any trouble. Haven’t they noticed that?
i can’t recall the details, but sullivan is a deep state pawn who has used his previous deeds to protect some important politicians who in turn fixed the dropping of charges on his son for alleged underage child abuse
Federal courts are directly beholden to the US Supreme Court, no questions asked. This criminal judge needs to be immediately removed and disbarred from ever practicing law again.

Summary: Things are less ususual than they seem.
Actually he was first appointed to the bench by Reagan.
On October 3, 1984, Judge Sullivan was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to serve as an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. As an Associate Judge of the Superior Court, Judge Sullivan was one of only seven judges in the twenty-four year history of that court to have served full-time in every division. He served as the Deputy Presiding Judge and Presiding Judge of the Probate and Tax Divisions, as well as chairperson of the Rules Committee for those divisions. He was also a member of the Court Rules Committee and the Jury Plan Committee. Judge Sullivan has been featured as the Judge in two juror orientation movies – one shown to prospective jurors in Superior Court and another used by the Council for Court Excellence to educate students about their future responsibility as jurors – and in a training film for the Probation and Pretrial Services Divisions of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.
On November 25, 1991, Judge Sullivan was appointed by President George H. W. Bush to serve as an Associate Judge of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. While an Associate Judge of that court, and in addition to his full-time case management responsibilities, Judge Sullivan was Chairperson for the Nineteenth Annual Judicial Conference of the District of Columbia, which was held in 1994. The theme for the conference was “Rejuvenating Juvenile Justice - Responses to the Problems of Juvenile Violence in the District of Columbia.” Judge Sullivan was also appointed by Chief Judge Wagner to chair the “Task Force on Families and Violence for the District of Columbia Courts.”
On June 16, 1994, Judge Sullivan was appointed by President William J. Clinton to serve as United States District Judge for the District of Columbia. Upon his appointment as a United States District Judge, Judge Sullivan became the first person in the District of Columbia to have been appointed by three United States Presidents to three judicial positions.
