On her twitter Sidney retweeted a couple of tweets from other stating the controlling law and pointing out that Zukker was on Mandamus, signalling that she knows her options here.

I have read legal commentary that says otherwise.

We shall see...

declare a MISTRIAL.

No. His option is to dismiss on the DOJ motion to dismiss.

Hey, why don’t we just invite Comey, Page, Strzok, Priestap, Yates, the Mueller Team, and Bobby Mueller, who had no idea what was going on in his investigation, Rosenstein, Lynch, and the rest of the fraudsters, to join in on the fun. Mueller has to bring the popcorn.

There are a couple versions:

“If that f**king bastard wins we will all hang from nooses” Hillary Clinton Email To Donna Brazile October 17, 2016

“This paraphrases something Hillary allegedly said while raging against Matt Lauer: ‘If I lose, we all go down and that Fascist F**k will have us swinging from nooses! What the f**k is wrong with you idiots?’”

From a Reddit thread, so I don’t know how accurate it is:

Maybe this clown of a judge could ask the "no haircuts for you" judge in Texas to come in and give him a hand with this case.   (After all, he is a legal genius, and law-bagging luminary, isn't he?)

"A mistrial does not exonerate Flynn."

The DOJ has already dropped the charges. There won't be another trial, even if Sullivan wants one.

Hon. Judge Sullivan needs to think about the old adage.

When you are in the hole, stop digging.

Foul mouthed Hillary....

Funny those quotes aren’t in the inspirational gift books Sayings of Hillary Clinton or Quotations of....

Ran out of quality paper pages I suppose. ((There are similar Michelle O books between the several gushy bios and the big coffee table puff praise illustrated volumes.))

This may be a face-saving move by Sullivan who can now blame Covington & Burling as well as Van Grack for committing fraud on the court justifying his outlandish behavior during the late stages of this affair. Sullivan knows he has no other way out here.

Both the evidence and legal precedent have put him in a corner from which he has no escape. If he continues on the path of ignoring stare decisis and allowing so-called friends of the court to file an amicus brief, he will be blown out of the water by the the DC Court of Appeals. To jam General Flynn by attempting to charge him with contempt or perjury in the absence of executive branch participation in such would also put him at odds with stare decisis and create a whole new precedent which no judge or criminal attorney in their right mind would support. Just imagine the howling from other members of the bar were he to criminalize the withdrawal of a plea made under duress due to prosecutorial misconduct.

I think what you will see is judge Sullivan reversing his decision in regards to allowing outside input and he will shift his ire toward those that put him in this position. He can either do that or be summarily overturned and end up in an ethics investigation due to the partisan nature of his outbursts and decisions.

Sullivan really has no other choice if he wants to stay on the bench.

I don’t think he can do that.

Good hearing from you again mass55th.

It appears after the obozo publicly leaked phone call telling the judge what to do, the amicus briefs may not be enough ... he needs more help to find Flynn guilty on his plea. Flynn’s attorneys are bound by attorney-client privilege. Let’s see how close they will get to breaching it in order to help the poor, prejudiced judge.

Sidney is a pit bull on the dirty tricks of the FBI and DOJ. Her book, Licensed to Lie, will give the background. At one time, you couldn’t find it on Amazon.

I think Sullivan is trying to box Flynn in if Flynn says his answers to the Rule 11 colloquy when the court accepted his guilty plea were based on the advice of his counsel.

IANAL, but this looks like a trap for Trump. They will tee-up Impeachment 3.0 for politicizing the judiciary or something along those lines.

I think Powell will handle this well. Lawyers here have pointed out that 1) there are judicial processes available to handle this stuff; 2) the SCOTUS just ruled on the amicus brief trick and it was 9-0 against the practice w/RBG writing the opinion; 3) Sydney Powell will file for a Writ of Mandamus.

POTUS doesn’t need to get involved at this point. He’s
well-advised, so he’ll handle it.

“This “judge” has a real hard-on for Flynn.”

Seems that way. Make one wonder what it is. A judge has to put his personal animosity towards any party aside. Evidently obozo hates Flynn’s guts. Does the judge have some Flynn info or gossip or obozo lies unrelated to the case that obozo passed to Sullivan when his path crossed obozo - like at a DC lawyers event? Obsessed with Flynn - both obozo and Sullivan.

How can a law firm be an “interested party” in a criminal case where they are neither party, witness or purported victim? Any discussions they had with Flynn are still privileged.

IMHO, this looks favorable to Flynn.

They are being called to prove that Flynn perjured himself before his court. He can sentence him to jail for that alone so don't get you hopes up. This Judge had tons of reasons to dismiss this case long ago, he has now become prosecutor.

This judge surely has been around long enough to know that innocent people plead guilty b/c they wish to avoid the risk of some alternative of being found guilty is a worse option for them. It is surprising that he can’t see that the FBI has no evidence that Flynn lied. Maybe it’s he doesn’t want to see. Forget that justice is blind. This is a case where the judge is blind, intentionally or otherwise.
