I’ll take a shot at this one: the judge wants to be able to examine Covington’s lawyers under oath to try to refute General Flynn’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel which were made by Sidney Powell in her motion to repudiate the guilty plea. That’s why he’s made them a party. A clever way to get around General Flynn’s right to client-attorney confidentiality.
He wants to build a record that Covington was not ineffective so that he has a fig leaf to cover his denial of Ms. Powell’s motion.
Isn't that the job of a prosecutor? Sullivan wants to be prosecutor, Judge and jury in this case. He can only be one.

Horrifying. And it’s too cute by half. I have no doubt at this time the judge is taking his marching orders from the coupists.
