I have a question that I haven’t seen addressed: If Sullivan is such a high powered judge, why does he have to bring in outside lawyers to argue the case for him? If I were on the appeals court panel, I would demand that he present his own arguments. If he can’t explain his case himself, I would rule against him without deliberation.
“another damned misleading, lying headline ”
Yes. Nothing surprising about Gleeson’s opinion as it was expected. As far as I am concerned it is a total set up and stinks worse than rotten fish!
According to the following:
“There is also no merit to Mr. Flynn’s implication (Pet. 29-30) that the district court’s appointment of retired Judge Gleeson suggests he will rule against Mr. Flynn.”https://www.lawfareblog.com/judge-sullivan-submits-brief-dc-circuit-flynn-case
“Judge Sullivan appoints retired Judge John Gleeson as amicus “to present arguments in opposition to the govt’s motion to dismiss”
