Good luck getting a writ from the D.C. circuit.

Sullivan has made himself the judge jury and prosecution. Nothing he rules will stand on appeal.
President Trump needs to end this joke now.

Wasn’t it the judge who asked Flynn if he wanted to changes his plea months ago before Flynn brought in Sidney Powell?

The unmasking requesters names released yesterday... a huge story with the names of Biden and other biggies shown to be liars and treasonus. Turned on the TODAY show this morning to see how they spun it.... they didn’t...IT WAS NOT MENTIONED.

Judge Sullivan needs to be removed. One way or the other. Permanently.

The unmasking was legit and unremarkable. It happens thousands of times each year.

The leaking to the press was the crime.

What did the Constitution and law have to do with anything the left wants to do?

Not so sure that the two situations - 1) a pro-forma waiver of speedy trial, and 2) dismissing charges to which the defendant already has pled guilty, are sufficiently similar for the former to be controlling precedent on the latter.

I'm sure Flynn will make that argument...but I'm not sure I buy it.

That being said, the case against Flynn is a travesty and should be dismissed at the government's request.

Bronc0 likely called Sullivan and said:

“I mispoke about that Perjury charge and now look stupid. Clean that up, will ya!”

The Constitution doesn’t seem to cover Plea “Bargains” which at their core are lies papered over to make them legal fiction.

With the emphasis on the fiction part.

Imagine Judge Sullivan’s reaction if agents from the Justice Department’s Office of Judicial Integrity showed up in his chambers based on a “tip”. First asking him if he had been contacted directly by outsiders who were not a party to the case. He would of course decline to answer. But then warrants were issued for phone records, sworn statements of clerks, secretaries, court officers and finally a thorough investigation of his family’s financial transactions. All it takes is a “dossier”.

They should take it straight to the Supreme Court.

I never read articles like this because there is no effective application of the constitution and there hasn’t been for years. Sullivan’s courtroom should be surrounded by thousands of righteous patriots in protest 24.x.365, but it won’t be. We’re a nation of leaderless cowards.

The unmasking was done for political purposes, which is illegal, and with an intention of additional illegal leaking, I believe.

A judge is a judge not a prosecuting attorney.

What’s Chris Steele doing these days? He might be available.

FWIW, Flynn was not “unmasked”. He was the target of the wiretap. The unmasking order was a ruse.
