Rep. Doug Collins suggests Flynn judge may have 'conflict of interest' after hiring personal attorney

Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., told "Fox & Friends" on Sunday it was an "unprecedented" step for U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to hire a personal attorney as an appeals court reviews his decision not to immediately grant the Justice Department's request to dismiss its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

"He's wanting to play every position, he wants to play the defense attorney, the prosecutor... the judge, he wants to bring in his own hearings here. This is something that's very concerning," Collins told co-host Griff Jenkins. "It's no shock to me that he finally had to go get his outside counsel because he's operating in areas right here that frankly, he needs to explain."

Sullivan hired high-profile attorney Beth Wilkinson, after Flynn's attorney last week filed an emergency writ of mandamus to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking that the prosecution against Flynn be dismissed as the Justice Department has requested, and for Sullivan to be taken off the case.

The order issued Thursday directed Sullivan to file a response by June 1, and invited the government to respond "in its discretion within the same 10-day period."

"I think the court of appeals is saying, 'This is something wrong, we need to look at [it],'" Collins said. "DOJ acted properly. It happens all the time in cases. Why is he not doing this? I think he's trying to play politics."

Sullivan put himself on trial? What a dumba$$.

[Pete Dovgan]

I don’t think he is stupid.

Operation Hammer. Obama did domestic and world spying for political purposes. Used Federal money for illegal payoffs, illegal databases, illegal spying and leverage. The Democrats jumped in with both feet because the ends justify the means. They play for keeps, ask Seth Rich.

Flynn knows about Obama and his minions. He probably knows about the money. Obama and the Democrats have information on Sullivan.

Sullivan isn’t stupid, he is trapped.

Rep Collins asked: "DOJ acted properly. It happens all the time in cases. Why is he not doing this?"

ANSWER: If Flynn can be totally and completely exonerated, the entire "Trump And His Associates Are Traitors And Russian Spies" narrative that was used as justification by Obama and the Deep State for their criminal activity falls apart.

I also believe that Obama's "leaked" phone call where he weirdly went on some soliloquy about the 'Rule of Law and how guilty General Flynn really is' was, in fact, a set of set of orders to Judge Sullivan. Obama couldn't just pick up his iPhone and call Sullivan to tell him what to do. So it was "leaked" to the media, and Sullivan got his instructions.

There just isn’t another example like this where a prosecution team admitted it had a faulty case, and then the judge hired up a ‘fake’ prosecution team to continue case. It’s what you’d expect in Bolivia or Paraguay.

[Ann Archy]

If this is such a Cut and Dried UNCONTITUTIONAL MOVE, then why did such a “respected....cough” lawyer like Beth Mrs. David Gregory Wilkinson” take it on???

[Sacajaweau]

Not the first time Sullivan has pulled this sh**. Go to wiki (sorry) and look at his 2009 case.

[Lockbox]

Doug, one word...... Impeachment.

[Diogenesis]

America WILL be defined by whether it
impeaches and imprisons the ultracorrupt
Emmet-the-liar-Sullivan, hater of the US Constitution.

Sullivan got his instructions via Obama's conniving scheme: Obama "leaked" a call where he weirdly went on some soliloquy
about the 'Rule of Law and how guilty General Flynn really is'. This was, in fact, Obama's orders to Judge Sullivan telling him what he wanted done.
Obama's a crafty SOB. He couldn't just pick up his iPhone and tell Sullivan what to do. So it was "leaked" to the media.

N-i-c-e catch.

That leaky little scheme is something Democrats brag about.

Here's Pelosi's affirmation of that putrid Democrap scam:
Nancy Pelosi actually described the "smear technique" in a press conference.
Apparently destroying people is no big deal to a Democrat, as long as it gets them back in power.

=================================================

In 2017, at a press conference, Pelosi blithely revealed the tried-and-true Democrat demonization tactic called the “wrap-up smear.”

PELOSI: “We Democrats call it the ‘wrap-up smear.’ You smear somebody, with falsehoods and all the rest,
and then you merchandise it to the media,” Pelosi said matter-of factly, as if she were giving out a recipe for apple pie.

SOUND FAMILIAR? This patented Democrat criminal MO was used against Justice Kavanaugh.

=============================

Hillary is extremely good at this——in 2016 she’d “leak” what she said was damaging info on Trump to the media.

Then when the smear was published-—she’d wave around the clipping to show how she was the superior candidate.

[Diogenesis]

There is so much impropriety with Judge Sullivan
that if he is not removed from the BENCH he OWNS,
future generations will have as much respect for
Article III courts as the FBI. NONE.

[Steven Tyler]

Just guessing.
The DOJ has responded early
Contents were leaked to Sullivan
Sullivan gets a white collar crime Lawyer

[ncalburt]

exactly

[Fido969]

Sullivan is pretty exposed here for bribery, more than Amy Berman who is a true beleiver, and so probably didn’t need to be bribed.

Following Sullivan, the blackmail on Roberts might be exposed.

[Manic_Episode]

Sullivan is cheating like his life depends on it....

[Dutch Boy]

Is he working for Hillary?

[SkyPilot]

Thanks Liz. Hope you’re well.

[butlerweave]

conflict of interest , never ,D’oh

[gcparent]

Rats in House will never impeach Sullivan.

[9YearLurker]

And when that got him into trouble, he turned to Obama’s attorney to try to bail him out.

[McGavin999]

Because a lot of lawyers are parasites and they latch onto any host that will feed them. She happens to be one of them.
