DC Circuit orders Judge Sullivan to grant the DOJ Motion to Dismiss.

They also "vacate the district court's order appointing an amicus as moot."

That should be that but with this judge who knows.

Someone will goose him to appeal to SCOTUS. Anything to drag this out.

So we’re on to the next level...there’s no way that the Swamp Creatures will go away quietly on this.After all,the campaign is now in high gear!

[jazusamo]

Outstanding!

[1Old Pro]

Good, this will be headline news tonight on all the news casts /s

One must ask, “Why was Flynn put under a gag order after filing a guilty plea?”
What happens, upon dismissal when that gag order is lifted?
Can Sullivan dismiss and then “seal” the case, further extending the gag-order?
Finally, what is it that Flynn COULD say that has so many itching to keep him quiet.

[janetjanet998]

Ruling was 2-1, Henderson and Rao ruling for Flynn. Wilkins dissented.

[janetjanet998]

The ruling is only “partially” for
@GenFlynn
, as the appeals court ordered:

—Sullivan to dismiss the case

—Gleeson’s appointment as “amicus” immediately “vacated”. Bye Felicia!

—However they declined to grant the request to kick Judge Sullivan off the case immediately

“Someone will goose him to appeal to SCOTUS. Anything to drag this out.”

who would file the appeal? The Judge is not a party, he has no standing.

[volunbeer]

Yes, but this is such a strange case that I would not be surprised if somehow he could request an En Banc hearing with the entire panel. Why not? Everything else in this case is unprecedented it seems.

I hope its over.

The 1 Dem judge on the 3 judge panel voted not to dismiss. It figures.

[Sir Napsalot]

Judge Sullivan has a lot to answer for. Don’t let him off until there are some answers.

[gogeo]

I don’t believe he has standing to appeal.

[CaptainK]

Sullivan’s uncontrollable hubris results in the unintended consequence of making him look the fool.

If Sullivan had just done the DOJs bidding the Dems would be able to howl that Barr was compromised and Trump’s lackey. By having 3 Judges,one a Dem appointment, come to the conclusion that Sullivan overstepped his judicial bounds, all eyes are now focused on his lack of judicial temperament.

[gogeo]

They are very smart. And I believe this is done.

[Deo volente]

Someone will goose him to appeal to SCOTUS. Anything to drag this out.

I'm sure John Roberts will come up with a 'creative' solution to keep the case going.

[gogeo]

With a directed verdict, removing Sullivan was moot.
