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

[SmokingJoe]

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

[Sans-Culotte]

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

[DOC44]

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.

[Uncle Sham]

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

[maddog55]

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

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

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.

[Paladin2]

Bronc0 likely called Sullivan and said:

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

[allendale]

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”.

[JonPreston]

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.

[Don Corleone]

A judge is a judge not a prosecuting attorney.

[Thank You Rush]

“”The government’s motion to dismiss highlighted new evidence uncovered by an outside U.S. attorney, Jeff Jensen””

What on earth is an OUTSIDE U. S. Attorney?

[Thank You Rush]

Absolutely incredible!! An op-ed written by the judge who is asked to serve in the case? What is happening? They don’t know enough to even keep their mouths shut about cases they will be hearing? Some people here are old enough to remember the furor caused by President Nixon when he remarked on the Charles Manson trial and here we have a judge showing clearly his bias...

Improper political influence?? He’s kidding, right? They are in WASHINGTON, DC where the only thing that matters is POLITICAL INFLUENCE!

“”The same day Judge Sullivan named Judge Gleeson to serve in the amicus curiae role, the Washington Post ran an op-ed co-authored by Gleeson, entitled, “The Flynn case isn’t over until the judge says it’s over.” “The Justice Department’s move to dismiss the prosecution of former national security adviser Michael Flynn does not need to be the end of the case—and it shouldn’t be,” he opened. Then, after misrepresenting the Rule 48(b)’s “leave of court” requirement, Gleeson suggests dismissal of the Flynn case would be inappropriate because “the record reeks of improper political influence.””

I think the Fokker case clearly addresses this issue, and provides an immediate remedy.

. Good lead... thanks

On April 5, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the D.C. Circuit) overturned the decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the District Court) in United States v. Fokker Services B.V., finding that the requirement of court approval to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act does not grant judges the authority “to second-guess the Executive’s exercise of discretion over the initiation and dismissal of criminal charges.”1 The District Court opinion had provoked considerable interest from both prosecutors and the defense bar, raising questions over the interplay between prosecutorial discretion and judicial review of criminal settlements. In finding the District Court had overstepped its authority, the D.C. Circuit confirmed that charging decisions (as opposed to sentencing) are firmly within the purview of the executive branch, and that deferred prosecution agreements concern the core prosecutorial decisions about what charges to bring and, if brought, whether to dismiss them.

United States v. Fokker Servs. BV, No. 15-3016

Fokkering Judge Sullivan.

[thirst4truth]

Judge Sullivan is going senile. There is clearly something wrong with him. Its frightening the partisan evil going after Flynn, the left is really beginning to scare me.

[eyeamok]

The Fokker decision was a 2016 decision from the D.C. Circuit Court and, as such, establishes “mandatory precedent,” i.e., precedent that must be followed, by all D.C. district court judges—including Judge Sullivan.

If we truly had an impartial Justice System, when Flynn Appeals this decision, the Appeals Court would hold Judge Sullivan in Contempt of Court and JAIL HIM for 30 days.

[mom.mom]

Was Sullivan forced to commit this legal atrocity? I really doubt he came up with this himself.
