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.

Now, Trump give him his position back - although I could understand if Flynn never wanted to see DC again.

Yes. I want Flynn back in the administration.

He has lots of incentive to clean things up.

I expect Sullivan now to keep Flynn from talking by appealing to the full appeals court. Sullivan isn’t going to surrender that easily!

When Judge Sullivan dismisses Flynn’s case his gag order on Flynn goes away.

Where is this "gag order"? I have not been able to find any.

I am pretty sure there isn't any "gag order" on Michael Flynn.

If you know of one, please show it.

It was 2 to 1.

The Obama appointed judge thought Sullivan(also Obama appointed) should be allowed to continue.

Elections matter.

To be appealed, no doubt.

No, it's over. Judge Sullivan must follow the decision of the Appeals Court and dismiss the case. He doesn't have any discretion.

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

There can be little doubt Flynn has information that will fuel and accelerate an investigation, and his involvement alone may even otherwise spur the investigators.

Gen. Flynn is not naïve. Even if he were to suffer some misfortune and no longer be a player, there are properly drafted. fully annotated, sworn to, witnessed by credible experts, notarized, etc., etc., and otherwise admissible under federal law, written documents with such information.

At a minimum, his papers (presently distributed) would include a detailed roadmap, if not intended to be admitted at a federal trial.

An appeal can only be brought by a party to the case. Here, both parties agree that it should be dismissed. There is no party that will appeal

Hussein Obama said in his "leaked" phone call that Flynn should be charged with perjury.

The "judge" kept perjury going by saying Flynn lied when he said he was guilty IIRC!

Hussein Obama and his band of criminals are petrified of what Flynn knows and where the evidence is to prove it. The criminal DNC types will do anything including burn the country down to hide their criminality. Expect the "judge" to pull another rabbit out of his hat. The law, the Constitution and directions from a superior court mean nothing to Sullivan and Obama.

And I am sure right now there is a conference call going with Holder, Obama, Rice, Sullivan, etc to see what else they can do to keep Flynn under wraps. I just hope they cannot and let this finally be a turning point for us so that we can kick their asses in jail!

Sullivan first came on the scene in Reagan years.

Judge Sullivan might decide to appeal this prosecution all the way to the supreme court.

/sarc mode on

There in a stunning 5-4 decision, chief justice Roberts will declare Sullivan's prosecution of Flynn a tax, and therefore lawful.

I’m shocked to see that Wilkins has so much in common with Sullivan.

Sullivan wasn't even smart enough to affirmative action his way into a decent law school. He had to settle for Howard. Wilkins was at least smart enough to affirmative action himself into Harvard. Birds of a feather do stick together, though.
