The full bench of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington DC has agreed to consider whether judge Sullivan should be forced to dismiss a felony charge against Michael Flynn. The insanity continues.
Everything about this case has been bizarre including Judge Sullivans refusal to accept the unopposed motion to dismiss the case. Now the full DC Circuit panel will hear arguments about why Sullivan should be allowed to continue the case without DOJ prosecution.
It appears the court has pinned their en banc acceptance on the notion that Judge Sullivan had yet to issue a final ruling prior to the writ of mandamus (asking the appeals court to intervene). The panel is asking the DOJ and Flynn defense to explain why no other adequate means to attain the relief is possible, if Sullivan has yet to rule.
Oral arguments are scheduled for August 11, 2020.

I will make a new speculation.
There will be a Marxist sneak attack on key battleground state elections offices.
By Marxist is meant wholesale lying, corruption, and physical maneuvers to steal elections.
Remember this:
Once the ballots are counted, they cannot be reversed. Like an adiabatic process, it goes only one way.
Even if fraud is proven in myriad ways, there is no traceability to the actual votes so there is no way to back out of a fraudulent election.
The fight must come before the counting takes place.
An observation:
We know the BLM/Antifa are on record they are trained Marxists. Antifa is on record they view themselves as militants.
The riots of today are but a warmup for November.
Only a handful of battleground states and a few counties within those states will suffer attacks and maneuvers to flip those state's electoral votes.
It’s not impossible to arrest all involved terrorists.
I am sure that has been and continues to be an item of consideration by the Administration.
The riots of today appear as a trial run for November to see how to respond to the Trump Administration.
Thank you, different source.
To coin a old phrase: These judges are getting too big for their own britches.
FUES
There is no law anymore. Only political hacks.
Profound message, hostage.
Thanx for posting
if the dirty judge deems himself a party,
then when the seditionists are hung, is he not
entitled to a ticket?
Who be dis Emir Suileman?
Who be dis Emir Suileman?
On the court the Dem Judges outnumber the Repubs 7-4. No doubt who will lose.
The parties are the prosecution and the defense
Both seek relief by dismissal
Unless the court is gonna rewrite law again and make the butthurt judge a party to the case?
The law relating to writ of mandamus is unequivocal WRT the requirement that mandamus is the ONLY avenue of relief from the alleged error.
Sundance is wrong about what the court is “pinning” this case upon. It does not depend on whether Sullivan decided the motion or not, although that could be a subsidiary part of it.
It depends on whether Flynn has the right to appeal if and when he is sentenced. And Flynn does have the right to appeal.
This is standard, boring, mundane, non-corrupt law of mandamus, which the two judge majority evaded.
Powell has been grossly incompetent in her representation of Flynn, for a variety of reasons. She decided to make a political argument in a court of law.
Not even the most rabid Flynn supporter can deny that Flynn lied under oath to Sullivan’s face. There were multiple lies, actually. Yes, there were reasons for lying under oath, but they were still lies under oath.
There is no “I had a good reason to lie” defense to perjury. More specifically, there is no defense to perjury based on “I was trying to help my son escape legal jeopardy.”
Powell, through her gross incompetence, put Flynn in the position of committing perjury. Her shameful representation is covered under a tsunami of praise for the political argument she has made, but there is no one, not a single person (except for me) who has analyzed her representation and seen it for the shoddy and probably unethical behavior it is.
Consistent with her inept legal abilities, she sought a writ of mandamus despite the fact that she was not legally entitled to one. And this gets us to the essence of why she sought a writ, despite not having valid grounds to get one. And this is the REAL significance of timing in this case:
Powell is desperately trying to avoid the hearings where Flynn and the Covington lawyers testify. If they testify, Powell will at the very least be made to look foolish and reckless, and might very well be put in a position where she is brought up on ethical issues raised by the testimony.
Powell’s interests and Flynn’s are NOT the same at this point, and IMO never were the same.
Barr saw the peril and took Powell off the hook the first time. Now Trump will have to take her off the hook for her gross incompetence a second time.
And if Trump does not do that, Powell is in a lot of trouble.
I wonder if McFadden will be on it. He is a recent Trump appointment.
I think minds are already made up with regard to August 11th and beyond.
