RUSH: There is something else happening out there that has me just as ticked off as now this Durham business does, and that is this joke of a judge, Emmet Sullivan. Have you heard about this? Have you heard the latest? Judge Sullivan went out got a lawyer. He went out and got David Gregory’s wife, Beth Wilkinson, went and got a lawyer. This judge, Emmet Sullivan, has now asked for the entire en banc Court of Appeals to hear his case.
I predicted that he would go en banc, meaning he wants the entire roster of judges, not just the three-judge panel that already ruled against him. This is the judge that will not let the DOJ drop the charges on Mike Flynn. The judge has nothing to say about this. The DOJ refuses to charge him. They say he got a raw deal. They dropped the charges. The judge is trying to find a way to go ahead and sentence Flynn. The judge wants to send this guy to jail.
Folks, there is something they do not want Mike Flynn talking about. There is something he knows, there is some series of things that they do not want him at all discussing. They just cannot let this guy be free. Emmet Sullivan, a judge. The judge has nothing to say. If prosecutors the drop the charge, charges, drop the case, the judge has nothing to do.
So he went out and got a lawyer, David Gregory’s wife, Beth Wilkinson. And she filed a 69-page document with the court, and it reads this way, in part: The panels’s decision, the judges, threatens to turn ordinary judicial process upside down. It is the district court’s job to consider and rule on pending motions, even ones that seem straightforward. This court, if called upon, reviews those decisions, it does not preempt them. This case satisfies requirements of rule 35, and an en banc review should be granted.
Now, en banc, there’s a three-judge panel on any circuit court — any federal court of appeals. You don’t know who the three judges are gonna be, but they decide the case, and then there is an option, the appellant can request every judge hear the case and rule. The reason why in this case this is such a problem, because Barack Obama packed this court with a bunch of wacko leftist judges. So if the entire roster of judges at this court of appeals hears the case, they could very well rule in favor of Flynn.
Now, it’s all moot because Flynn is not gonna go to jail. At the last resort is a Trump pardon. But that’s not the point here. The point is a great injustice is occurring to a great American patriot, Michael Flynn, who was set up as part of this bogus coup in the first place that now John Durham is saying (doing impression), “I may not be able to release the results before the election. I need to speed it up. I don’t know. May not happen.”
This is what ensnared Michael Flynn. In truth, Flynn is as innocent as a newborn baby in this. He didn’t do anything. He was set up to create a process crime — lie — which wasn’t even a lie. The DOJ has thrown out the case. Federal judge Emmet Sullivan will not drop the case despite a court order to do so. The three-judge panel told him to get rid of it and go on with your life, Judge. And he said, screw you, I want all the judges reviewing this.
This is the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Sullivan’s challenging their order, saying that it improperly assessed the case against Flynn. “The DOJ dismissed its case against Flynn in May after documents revealed the FBI was essentially working to entrap,” the guy and did. He was totally set up like everybody was set up in this case. “Sullivan and his attorney,” the wife of David Gregory, Beth Wilkinson, “demanded a review of the decision by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, saying the three judges did not have the authority to grant a motion to dismiss, that it did not yet resolve in reliance on arguments never presented -” this is such bogus BS.
No federal judge has ever done this. This no federal judge has ever sought a rehearing en banc from a mandamus ever, in any circuit — a writ of mandamus. He is not supposed to have an interest to protect. The judge is impartial. The judge, any judge, every judge, right there with the scales of justice, and he is impartial.
The judge doesn’t have a side. The judge is not on the side of the defendant. The judge is not on the side of the prosecution, except in this case it’s obvious. The judge is the prosecution, and this has never happened before. Judges do not prosecute cases. The D.C. Circuit has never granted rehearing on a writ of mandamus. Let’s see what happens here. Let’s see if another precedent falls by the wayside.
But this is part of the Durham investigation. Flynn was ensnared by this bogus coup, was taken into bankruptcy via legal fees, only pleaded guilty because the prosecutors threatened to then ruin his son’s financial life. And that’s when he called it quits and pled guilty, made a deal, to make it all go away. Then William Barr, DOJ, gets a look at all what happened here, and they’re embarrassed about it, and they dropped all charges because not one of them is legit.
And Judge Sullivan won’t let it go. The three-judge panel already slapped him down, and now he’s asking for the whole panel. Could be 21 judges. I don’t know what the total number of judges on the D.C. Circuit court of appeals is, but it’s a lot of them because this is a busy, busy circuit. A lot of cases go through there, and most every case is decided with a three-judge panel, and every appellant has the option to ask for en banc. They’re not always granted, by the way. Very rarely are they. So we shall see what happens here.
Lefties never give up. Even if the appeal court rules against him, expect him to appeal that to the Supreme Court.
I understand that.
But he plead guilty in the court. In front of the judge.
It is not the court’s fault that he had lousy counsel.
My point is that you don’t plead guilty to something you did not do, nor something they had no proof of you doing.
He might have lost, but he would have overturned this on appeal by now.
That part seems to be left out.
It's left out because it's legally irrelevant. The case had no reason to be brought, because the "lie" turned out not to be a lie. That's why the prosecutor, who has the right to withdraw charges, has withdrawn them--because the case has no basis, and was wrongly pursued.
For this to go any further is like something out of an Ionesco play. Judge Sullivan has no legal standing to appeal anything one way or the other--he's not a litigant.
Its called principle.
But I guess being a Federal felon and giving up most of your rights is fine for some people.
In the end, he would have ended up right where he is.
Flynn was the National Security Advisor. Would you be making these same excuses for him if he — just for example — compromised our national security under the same pressure that was brought on him in this case?
What don’t I understand.
Did the guy lie to the FBI? Yes or No.
If he had stuck to his guns he might have been convicted. But this would have come out in an appeal by now. And he would clearly overturn that.
Who is ‘they’? What was the crime? Gotta source?
The powers that be want Flynn in stasis and that is where he will remain until they figure out how to deal with him (or dispose of him if you will).
Once there were Men and Americans. Now, if there are any Men left, they’re not in government or authority.
According to rumors on Twitter, Sullivan’s sun rape someone underaged and after calling dad, called the fire dept. directly so it wouldn’t be on 911 logs. Then when EMT complained Sullivan kept it out of court.
Sullivan is not “unreal”. He is simply a bottom feeder Nazi apparatchik who is unfit to shine Gen. Flynn’s shoes.
Why the hell did Flynn hire them in the first place?
I’ll tell you why: Because HE was part of “the swamp,” too.
I never would have talked to them.
I cannot believe he did so without an attorney. I understand they told him he did not need one. If he truly believed that, then we should reconsider how smart he is.
You NEVER talk to the police about anything without a lawyer present. Especially the FBI, who for the most part, are looked at with disdain by just about all other law enforcement because of their dirty dealings.
I know that, and I am some schmo from Massachusetts. You would think a swamp rat like Flynn would have known that.
The higher court should advise Judge Sullivan that if he sentences Flynn, that higher court will regard this as an act of contempt of court, and that Judge Sullivan will be be held in jail until Mr. Flynn is released and the contempt is over.
The system will make an effort to hold him in a facility that doesn’t have anyone he’s sentenced, but...
2. Why wasn’t he prosecuted after Flynn reneged on his plea deal?
“”because Barack Obama packed this court with a bunch of wacko leftist judges. So if the entire roster of judges at this court of appeals hears the case, they could very well rule in favor of Flynn.””
This doesn’t make sense. Did Rush misspeak? Not likely a packed court of obozo judges would rule in Flynn’s favor. Rush said he didn’t know how many are on the court - I think when we got that last decision, we were told it was 13 for the whole court!
Sullivan’s son may or may not be a rapist, but we know that the Nazi hack judge is.
You seem to be extremely clueless.
Crystal Mangum lied about the Duke Lacrosse boys. She said they raped her. The Attorney General of North Carolina refused to charge her after she came close to ruining the lives of all those boys. I am not impressed at all with our judges and our judicial system.
DISBAR this crook
And throw his sorry ass in jail
Forced?
First, he should not have talked to them without a lawyer present. Basic education 101. They show up in a pair with notebooks—your call your lawyer.
Second, if you are not guilty, you don’t plead guilty. If your kids are threatened, then your kids are threatened. If they did something wrong, they are going to get screwed anyway—or are you supposed to believe them when they are “forcing” you to take the plea? The FBI lies ALL THE TIME. You cannot believe anything they say. Ever. See rule 1.
Third, nice move to name calling.
I am sure you believe that all Federal Law Enforcement is there to protect you. When the FBI or IRS show up at your door (and they have) you must assume they are there to sodomize you. Agreeing to do anything with then without a lawyer is just agreeing to be sodomized.
These rules apply if you are a small business person or the President of the United States—and everyone in between.
Your trust in our government is admirable. It is misplaced.
