Well, if that is the question the answer is an emphatic "yes!"
The Justice Departments conduct in abruptly deciding to end the case...
—
Abruptly?? Flynn has been in sentencing limbo for almost 2 years.
If allowed to proceed Judge Sullivan will make US judicial history...he’ll be the first Federal judge to serve both as judge and prosecutor.
Ain't that the truth.
This partisan fool needs to be removed from the bench.
Sullivan is INSANE!! STOP THIS MADNESS!!!
Sullivan is INSANE!! STOP THIS MADNESS!!!
Maybe we should just ask the Democrat Party to decide every case and get rid of all the judges and lawyers.
Short-circuit is the wrong term. With a short circuit, electrical current is present, but is being required in such a way that a fuse or break is tripped, or a piece of the device is damaged.
No we need you to unplug the thing so there is no current to short circuit.
For those wanting to attack Trump any way they can. Thanks, NYT, for providing us all with the liberal view...
If you actually cared about facts and legal issues, you'd be scouring the recently released DOJ and FBI documents that were withheld by prosecutors, and you'd realize that you were taken for a ride, that you knew you were being taken for a ride and allowed it, and that whatever judicial career and reputation you thought you had, you totally dismantled yourself with your political bias in the case. And you didn't even try to hide it.
Not entirely. Rule 48(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure says that, "The government may, with leave of court, dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint."
So Sullivan's permission is required to drop the charges. His grounds for refusing permission, if he does, may be reviewed on appeal, but the rule certainly gives him some kind of role.
I hope the court holds Judge Sullivan in contempt of the court order he is under. Maybe some jail time would allow him to devote time to responding to their order on explaining what is going on.
If General Flynn is completely exonerated, the entire Russia hoax falls apart. The left knows this. The media knows this. When Obamas phone call regarding the justice department dropping the case against General Flynn was leaked to the media, I believe it was actually instructions from Obama to Judge Sullivan on what to do.
Short Circuit is not a response based on law..
Where are the laws and statutes the hack Judge
uses to support his response? There are none.
He uses his opinions. Opinions are not law.
He should be removed from the bench for this
circus he has created.
Contrary to Beth Wilkinson’s argument, this situation is the exact reason for the granting the petition for a writ of mandamus. There is no lawful reason to deny it.
When a judge ignores a ministerial duty and refuses to perform it, the Appellate has no option but to grant it. A ministerial duty is one in which the law requires a certain action for which there is zero room for discretion.
Time to send in Durham to ask the good judge if he has been in contact with anyone outside of his hierarchy regarding the Flynn case. Perhaps to the judge will think twice before lying to a federal prosecutor.
Judge Sullivan asked for nothing. His attorneys spewed forth some garbage.
“was so unusual that it raised a plausible question about the legitimacy of the move”
in other words,
Sullivan views the current Justice Department as illegitimate.
For him the Obama Justice Department remains the legitimate Justice Department.
