Maybe this judge was given an offer he can’t refuse. Pick Deep State vs Justice. Maybe being over ruled is safer.

[old curmudgeon]

Note that in this story there is not one single word favorable to President Trump, Powell or Flynn.

Only snide comments.

Mueller’s thuggish Lieutenants, Weissmann, Rhee and Van Grack in particular, need to be before a US Senate committee under oath and publicly answering for their conduct. Line them up in a row at one table and pound away at their prosecutorial misconduct. That will never happen, of course.

Sullivan is doing all he can to protect Obama. How loud will he scream “Racism!” before he falls on his Swamp Soldier’s sword? Actually that gives him too much honor and nobility. He will scream “Racism,racism, racism”, never resign or admit anything he did was wrong. He will probably be allowed to remain on the bench. The Swamp protects its own.

I’ve read the case referenced in the appellate court’s order. Sullivan is dead in the water. Mark my words: he vacates the amicus order and dismisses the case before June 1 rather than respond. Otherwise he’s going to get a smack. They cite the case in the order plus criminal rule 48 to signal him to back off or the writ is going to be granted

[pepsi_junkie]

A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered the judge handling the criminal case of President Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, to respond to a request by Flynn’s lawyers to dismiss the case.

Wait for it.... wait for it ... "MOTION DENIED".

Deep state Black Robed Bozo Judge Emmet Sullivan. He has been a decent judge but now wants to end his career as a buffoon. Republicans appointed him.

WIKI
He was appointed to the bench of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals as an Associate Judge in 1992 by President George H. W. Bush and to the federal bench in 1994 by President Bill Clinton.[3]

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Not a word from CNBC that the DC Circuit Court referenced the Fokker case in their order as well as nary a word from CNBC that the DC Circuit Court invited the DOJ to weigh in re the Writ of Mandamus.

Typical for NEM to ignore the relevant issues.

[lurk]

This judge is willing to kamikaze his reputation at the end of his career. He knows he will lose.

He must somehow think it is worth it.

[Salvavida]

Check Mate, Sullivan.

You can't answer the defendant's question via the Writ of Mandamus because there is no plaintiff nor is there a charge; therefore, there is NO CASE.

Now go get your shine box.

[Huskrrrr]

Sullivan is waiting for the check to clear, before ruling.

[eyeamok]

She should have Demanded Sanctions for the Judge also.

[sauropod]

Well, Kevin Breuninger and Dan Mangan. You are being too cute by half.

The Justice Department’s request this month to dismiss the charge against Flynn was signed by Timothy Shea, the interim U.S. attorney for D.C. at the time, and not by any of the prosecutors who had handled Flynn’s case up to that point.

The dismissal request has been highly controversial. Former prosecutors say it smacked of favoritism toward an ally of Trump, and some have specifically accused Attorney General William Barr of manipulating the justice system to help the president. Trump has frequently criticized the case against Flynn.

Do you really expect us to believe this codswallop?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

The Circuit Court also gave the Justice Department the same time frame to comment on the Defense Request.

[catnipman]

this is really YUGE: writs of mandamus are rare and i suspect them being granted is even more rare ... in this case, the appeals court ORDERED Sullivan to respond to Flynn’s request to dismiss the case within 10 days, which means:

1. Sullivan MUST explain why he’s refusing to dismiss the case.

2. Sullivan doesn’t have time to screw around with his illegal and unconstitutional 3rd party amicus curiae “briefs” before making the appeals-court-ordered ruling regarding dismissal

3. Once Sullivan has committed his “reasoning” for refusing to dismiss the case, then that becomes substance for appeal to the higher court, that is, it gives the higher court something substantive to adjudicate

As far as i can see, the higher court has checked Sullivan, even if they didn’t checkmate him ...

[romanesq]

Game. Set. Match!

Winners: General Flynn, American Patriots

God bless General Flynn & his family!

One of the better comments at the source:

"tommylotto says: May 21, 2020 at 5:45 pm Interesting situation. On most writs, the real party in interest is one of the parties to the case. So, the judge does not have to respond. He can allow the real party in interest take the laboring oar in opposing the writ. Not this time, defense and prosecution agree. Sullivan is going to have to put pen to paper and give an accounting. He cannot farm it out to amicus, because that is part of the conduct that is being challenged."
