Appeals court orders judge to dismiss Flynn charges
The Hill ^ | 6/24/20 | Harper Neidig

Posted on 06/24/2020 7:48:48 AM PDT by Dana1960

A federal appeals court on Wednesday ordered a judge to grant the Department of Justice's (DOJ) unusual move to drop charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals approved Flynn's petition to intervene in the case after a district court judge had tapped an outside counsel to argue against the DOJ's move.

Who cares if he’s an attorney. If obama can be pres and Sullivan can be judge jury investigator prosecuting attorney and executioner I think General Flynn would make a fine US AG wouldn’t you agree?

“The judge doesn’t have standing to appeal the order”

Interesting point. I would like to hear more on this.

The one judge that dissented can ask for a full court...AND the DEM appointees are easily in the majority.

You’re referring to an en banc decision by all DC Circuit Judges. One judge cannot trigger that. It would have to come from a party (i.e. Flynn or the US DOJ.)

I think that’s already happening. As I was leaving the house I caught a few words on Fox that made me believe it.

Maybe Flynn has information that can assist Durham in putting these bastards in jail!

I am going to go out on a limb here and predict that absolutely no one will go to jail under over this. People keep saying have patience and don't seem to realize that Trump has 6 months remaining with no guarantee of a second term, not because he doesn't deserve one but be ouse thee is serious plans for stealing this election and this country, next the New World Order. ..

How many times have you been wrong standing by what you said? There will be an en banc hearing and it will reverse the circuit court. SCOTUS will then decline to intervene, leaving Flynn back it Sullivan’s court. It’s scripted, by the 2-1 decision. Wilkins teed it up for more delay with his dissent.

BS...

Wrong? I doubt Sullivan will let this go further. It will only wind up as a further embarrassment.

Why would SCOTUS decline?

Good take. Sullivan's removal of the July hearing is of no meaningful consequence; at the last minute, he will ask the full court to take the issue or otherwise has been told it will. The full court will continue to run out the clock with its view of what the words, "with leave of the court" plainly means in this particular factual setting.

IMO, however, the law is so strong the USSC will almost certainly intervene; and, under Roberts, we may see a subtle attempt to further delay resolution beyond the presidential election.
