Whenever they delay and obfuscate, it’s for a reason. Like when Pelosi held onto the articles of impeachment. So what’s their angle with the Sullivan maneuver?
My best guess is they’re trying to force Trump to intervene, maybe even say enough is enough, I’m pardoning Flynn. Then they could make political hay out of that.
Is Flynn under a gag order? That could be one.
To keep Flynn off the table for as long as they can?
To prevent him from flapping his yap and destroying them?
