So much for “maverick” Judge Sullivan. He’s toeing the Deep State party line in full on Flynn.
We don’t have the branches of government. We have four. Murky, Bayou, Bog, and quicksand.
No surprise that Sullivan toes the Deep State line. He sees the former Mueller/Weismann prosocutorial team still in place at the DOJ, still wielding power, arguing before him in court, still trying to railroad Gen. Flynn.
If the US Dept of Justice confiscated without cause all of the cell phones and computers belonging to Flynn's son who merely worked for his dad, and when that same Dept. gets a secret Court's search warrant to spy on that son, and when the same DOJ still can't make the General fold before the press corps publishes the Strozk/Page text messages, and thus DOJ finally threatened, literally warned Flynn that he and his beloved wife will get “the Manafort Treatment”, what makes any sentient being think that the same US Dept of Justice wouldn't threaten the Judge in this case?
All along, I believed Judge Sullivan understood what had happened; Powell's Motions built a case that was crystal clear and offered evidence the DOJ was handing her piecemeal, evidence that told the Judge the real story behind Flynn's insistence on pleading guilty which confounded the Judge. Now Sullivan knows this is Ted Steven's redux. But the DOJ destroyed Stevens to get Obamacare passed. Imagine a decade later, how much more out of control the corruption and violence had grown? Judge did what Lt. General Flynn did and saved his life and maybe innocent others’.
