Flynn attorney files emergency appeal to shut down Judge Sullivan's orders, boot him from case
Fox News ^ | 5/19/2020 | Greg Re

Michael Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell on Tuesday filed an emergency writ of mandamus to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking the immediate removal of Judge Emmet Sulivan from the case -- and saying that under appellate precedent set by the "Fokker Services" case, Sullivan or his replacement must dismiss the prosecution, as the Justice Department has requested.

Writs of mandamus are extraordinary remedies, which are appropriate when there has been a "usurpation of judicial power" that is "clear and indisputable" -- and, Powell argued, Sullivan's behavior fits the bill. Powell also demanded the appellate court vacate Sullivan's order appointing an "amicus curiae" in the case to argue in favor of preserving Flynn's guilty plea on one count of making false statements to the FBI.

Sullivan is engaged in a delay tactic. So long as the case remains open, Gen Flynn has a gag order to not say anything about what he knows.

She's the best there is.

To take on that case, at the state it was in, and then drive it to victory. She may very well be the best ever.

That is the problem - so many people would agree with your statement - like a procession of “watergate prosecutors,” which must be about the most intellectually morally and physically debilitated club in the world at this point. Hillary was a young’un when “titans” like Jaworski strode the earth.

What are the chances they replace Sullivan with Amy Berman Jackson?

Sullivan’s hypocrisy during his 26 years on the bench will be his own undoing. If he wants to fall on his sword by acting on behalf of the swamp, I say let him, and may he suffer a long, and agonizing death.

All democrat judges are evil lunatic bastards that let their ‘personalities’ rule moral thinking. It’s a requirement.

Well if she was fighting for a liberal cause she would now be the next Clarence Darrow or fictional Atticus Finch. In media the next Katherine Graham. Hope she is not looking for accolades. May just be someone that does their job very well without other expectations. That is hard to find these days.

“I think she deferred to Barr hoping DOJ would do it.”

She told Dobbs she expects to be joined by DOJ. If I were her, I wouldn’t hold my breath. At this point, Barr seems to be working for the other team.

Things happen and documents are lost," Sullivan stated. "I mean, it just happens.”

This is in reference to the orginal 302s which are the basis of the charges against Flynn but THEY ARE NOT!. The basis of the charges were modified 302s. They were modified by Page and Stozh and were the 302s of a different agent. Those orginal 302s are now most conveniently lost, missing, burned etc.

Sidney Powell isn’t part of a large law firm. Her firm is just her and a single associate, and something like this takes time to research and to put together.

You got it the second time. BIASED!!!! They took an oath to defend the constitution. Well they lied and knew they lied when they lied. It’s not cowardice. They are considered heroes of the left. They should be considered filthy criminals and hunted down and made to pay.

But we play the nice nice game. Sickening.
