Sidney Powell said yesterday she expected Judge Sullivans ruling today
what is the hold up?
Fox hyped a possible ruling today all morning
I assume it shouldn’t take long...so what gives?
Hahaha you have no idea how judges operate. Everything takes 5 times longer than expected. And I wouldn’t be sure what this ridiculous judge will do
Big Radio this morning was assuring us that Judgie still has a couple options to keep the case going against Flynn, and of course cut to commercial, and by then, I’d arrived to the office.
Da judge knows he was wrong but doesn’t want to admit it, so he can remain steadfast, reinforcing his strong convictions.
He also knows DjT will rectify the Flynn travesty, so he’ll let him fix it and take all the heat.
Any bets ?
Sullivan is probably on the phone with Obama and Jarrett right now. Give him time to get his orders!
Probably judge not finished with his opinion. If we’re lucky the judge will report government actions to disciplinary committees. He might also let the DoJ know how pissed he is about blatant Brady violations and the waste of time all the court sessions have been. He might issue sanctions to AUSA attornies.

Thats is what I am afraid of.........if he just signed off on the DOJ decision it should go pretty quick...
does anyone know if court is over for the day?
Technical error on thursday filing. The attorney that signed used court id if prior atty. Wtf
Based on previous experience with Sullivan, those in the know expect Sullivan to require a hearing about a week from now before announcing his decision.
Yep, had to wait for Obama's clan to rally 2000 signatures from former DOJ employees to come out against Barr.
The NYT/Lawfare alliance found that the paperwork in the feds’s motion had Jessie Liu’s unique account number on it. (Honest mistake, or some paralegal swamp thing screwed it up on purpose?). This is possibly causing a delay until it is refiled with her successor’s number. Powell expected the ruling today or early this week, so it’s not time to panic. Sullivan might have had other cases on his schedule, or is researching feverishly to come up with an excuse not to dismiss.
Sullivan lit Flynn up over his Turkey affiliation back in 2018. I’m not holding my breath that he will ease up in the least now.
While It’s possible that Sullivan is contemplating “homework” for the DoJ and possibly some kind of investigation like he did in the Stevens case my money is on him now finding a reason to deny the request to dismiss. I don’t know why he would do such a thing but after 4 years of being promised repercussions for “deep state” actions by various government agencies and individuals I have more or less reconciled myself to the understanding that those repercussions will never come.
I’d like to be wrong in this but, frankly, my optimism tank is on fumes these days.
Probably other things on the docket. Flynn may be “important to us”, but it’s just one more thing for the judges.
You can be sure Mr. Hopey-Changey is behind the scene, pulling every string he can.
Deep State Judge giving us a preview what Durham will be up against.
Probably waiting on the Soro’s wire transfer to hit his offshore account.
Judge is between a hard place and a rock. There has been obvious DOJ misconduct and his original order for the turning over of Brady evidence was shit upon by the DOJ, but he also needs to save face for allowing this clown show to go on for so long. If he doesn’t accept the dismissal request and sentenced Flynn, it will be immediately appealed and he will look like a fool. If he accepts the dismissal request and doesn’t violently savage the DOJ clowns, he will be mocked and publicly ridiculed.
I would not read too much into this folks.... courts have schedules and judges have calendars that are sacrosanct to them.
The court also has the right to ask additional questions to determine if the court needs to take action in response to such a bizarre turn of events.
Flynn is not in jail. He cannot be prosecuted now after this motion to dismiss as there is no longer any prosecutor.
The court likely has A LOT of questions (we all do) and the Judge is within the scope of his authority to ask them. The more questions that are asked and answered the more we find out so I hope he has a list of hundreds of questions for the government, for the prior counsel, and for the special counsel prosecutors. Even better, I hope he has a lot of questions for the FBI agents.
This probably won’t be anything great, but think of the possibilities?
He can put them ALL under oath in his courtroom and ask whatever he wants about the case.....
My prediction. Judge goes completely deep state. Says something to the effect of, “never has a person who pled guilty twice had a prosecution dropped.” He will ignore the prosecutorial misconduct completely. He will force Trump to pardon. My guess is this judge has been threatened.
