Sullivan was nominated by President Bill Clinton on March 22, 1994, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia vacated by Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 15, 1994, and received his commission on June 16, 1994.
Let us not forget that Sullivan called Flynn a traitor at the start of the trail. He walked it back some, but the traitor comment travel around the world on every news outlet. Next, if Flynn was truly setup, why is Barr allowing this travesty to continue. Barr surely has read the IG report and knows more outside the confines of it.
I never had faith in Barr to do the right thing, even though some of his statements have provided some hope, doubt lingers. Not one current working FBI agent in the IG report has faced discipline, much less arrest. Every co-conspirator still the FBI is untouched and free to run an operation against the President again.
Judge Sullivan was appointed by Ronald Reagan to the D.C. Superior Court in 1984. Bill Clinton elevated him to the D.C. federal court in 1994.
