However, I just saw Dan Bongino’s interview of Sydney Powell (Flynn’s lawyer) and she says that Sullivan has dealt with co-erced defendants who have withdrawn guilty pleas before. She doesn’t know what’s driving him here

Bongino’s the best.
I’m sure Powell does know what is driving Sullivan here imo.
Doesnt matter now as Kanavanugh was truly worth the fight as he has sided with Trump on immigration SCOTUS cases as an example, at the very least. He’s more vocal than Gorsuch.
More than a few judicial pronouncements are written by judge’s law clerks who freely consult with their like minded law professors. Does anyone really think that Ginsberg actually formulates and writes her own opinions?
Iroic that Obama probably hired him because he was a dem.
How cool that Flynn went against BHO with an important issue and then he fired him
“When a judge has to hire a trial lawyer to defend himself, that judge is in deep do-do.”
Why does he need a trial lawyer when this is now all appeal court level stuff. Nothing against your post, this does not make sense.
And accused him of treason IIRC
“Federal rules do not allow prosecutors to unilaterally dismiss any criminal case. They need “leave of court” before a charge can be withdrawn.”
They need leave of court only so the Judge can insure that the dismissal is not being filed in order to prejudice the rights of the Defendant in some way. No other reason and no other investigation by the court is necessary or permitted.
Or is he in a bit of a bind because he has given Flynn an opening to sue him for violating his civil rights, which would normally be extreme, but Sullivan’s express contempt for Flynn is extreme. Sullivan is obviously in on the deepstate cabal

Yep, good facts.
+1
Flynn should give this 2 more weeks. Announce that he expects dismissal by then. If it does not come he should call a press conference and speak his mind with the knowledge that Trump would pardon him.
Does Sullivan have the legal authority to continue it on his own under U.S. law and the rules of the court?
Can he sentence Flynn anyway, when as far as the DOJ is concerned, the case aganist him was fraudulent?
If h sentences Flynn, when he no longer has the legal authority, then what?
Is his conduct grounds for pursuing sanctions aganist him for misconduct from the bench?
It’s more than that. He’s lawyering up.
“Doesnt matter now as Kanavanugh was truly worth the fight as he has sided with Trump on immigration SCOTUS cases as an example, at the very least. He’s more vocal than Gorsuch.”
Not doing so good on 2nd Amendment cases, though, and to my mind that is more important than immigration.
Hi.
It is good to see federal judges lawyering up.
I wonder if FISA court judge Contrares will be lawyering up soon?
5.56mm
Note that it is Sullivan who has hired the attorney, not the federal court that he represents. He knows that the law is on to him.
In that case, hang him from the ceiling of his own courtroom.
FOIA the judge and get his information. Calls, emails, and bills.
If it were a republican, it would have already happened.
Only taxpaying little people pay for defending against the corruption of “public servants”. The misnomer is the claim they are public servants when the reality is they suck on the teats of the public while never being held personally accountable.
I cannot find it right now, but one of the sources in the Sheryl Attkisson lawsuit against the DOJ for spying on her went on a twitter spree against this Judge. It was pretty wild.
The source said Judge Sullivan had committed many illegal acts getting his sons out of criminal charges and that the Judge was involved in skimming grant money from Howard University and buying art, which hangs in his chambers (”no FBI agent will get a search warrant for a federal judge’s chambers...”)
I do not know how to find this thread, but if someone does find it, it may provide the clues as to why Judge Sullivan is lawyer-ing up.
A federal judge hiring a trial lawyer at taxpayer expense.
We truly live in Bizarro World.
Another one we can thank POTUS for. He sure smokes them out. Federal judges hiring lawyers, Romney joining the 47%, etc.
