In an unusual order posted Friday, the federal judge in the case of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn told the Justice Department to file a declaration -- under penalty of perjury -- by Monday that evidence in the case is “true and correct.”

The whole point was that the evidence against Flynn was NOT true and correct and the DOJ had an obligation by law to drop the charges. If they certify that it is true (i.e. Flynn did lie) then it makes them appear they are dropping a case for political reasons.
I don’t believe the DOJ has any obligation of this sort once they have dropped charges against someone. The evidence is moot and should be ignored by the trial judge at that point. A judge determines the truth of the evidence when presented by not when the prosecutor believes it does not show guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. What law school did Sullivan go to?
My bad. My first post so I didn’t quite understand if that meant poster or what. Thanks for pointing that out
I saw a story about this said that the dates typed onto on a couple of the documents were incorrect.
Sydney Powell has filed a motion to disqualify dirtbag Sullivan and force him to recuse. He knows he is about to be embarrassed by being recused and now he is trying to preempt
the Appellate court from recusing him and saving face by finally dismissing it. Attorney Sydney Powell lit a fire under his biased ass and the incredible star chamber he set up was going to be exposed. I still think Powell should lodge ethics charges against him with both the DC bar and the Federal Courts administrative body after this is over
Okay, but I think Sullivan is asking Barr and others relevant to the evidence to do this for the evidence they have presented. I could be wrong though, happens all the time. 8>)
This is a BS move. Sullivan knows the position of the DOJ like the back of his corrupt hand. I think its a clear telegraph that no dismissal will see the light of day before the election. The gag order is all that matters. Daring Flynn to say a peep and Sullivan would chuck his noogats in a deep hole.
The man has orders to freeze Flynn, we all knew that. Im rather livid.
I read somewhere a slightly different version, but basically the same thing. I read that the DOJ xeroxed some docs with post-it notes accidently still still attached to them which had incorrect dates on them This was explained by the DOJ to the judge a couple of weeks ago. It seems that the judge is just doing this just to be a jerk and/or delay things.
Is this evidence Robert Mueller & his team presented or evidence Barr et al. have presented? Because I think Judge Sullivan is requesting this from Barr et al.
“What law school did Sullivan go to?”
Howard University Affirmative Action School of Law
I think if Flynn had been cleared (as he should have been) he would have been a tremendous asset to Trump. He could have showed how corrupt the current powers that be are. He would have proven that Trump is right about clearing out the swamp.
The Judge is asking them to certify that all of the material submitted in the motion to dismiss is correct. It is already known there were some errors, and there is no way the DOJ can get this done over the weekend to meet Sullivan's deadline. So the DOJ is going to have to request an extension, pushing the whole case past the election. Or maybe Sullivan tosses out the motion to dismiss due to the DOJ's failure to certify the evidence.
He still lied to Pence.
That’s why he was fired.
If Flynn had entered a not guilty plea and all this sh!t came out IN A TRIAL, President Trump might be running unopposed right now.
You wrote: “judge is just doing this just to be a jerk and/or delay things.”
I think he is both.
No, its just another delay tactic.
Sullivan jumped the shark when he suggested to Sydney Powell, Flynn’s attorney, that it might make sense to wait until after the election to determine if Barr acted appropriately when a new AG was appointed if Biden won. That is when Powell filed the pending motion to disqualify as he tried to backtrack realizing his politization of the case was out of the bag and no way was he going to be able to explain that rationale to the appellate court
It is a quagmire .
It would be curious to know what comes within the definition of “evidence in this case.” Since there was no trial, does that mean whatever material the FBI confronted Flynn with to induce him to plead guilty? It has never been entered into evidence in a court that I know of, unless by Sydney Powell after she pried it out of the Flynn’s first attorneys. Sullivan denied the Defense request for a wide array of Brady material. There were a few documents unearthed by a US Attorney that made it into evidence during the late sentencing phase. Perhaps the DoJ should say they certify anything from that source, and can’t certify anything prior, since Brian Van Gracken seemed to have lacked candor. Please hold him in contempt and refer him for disbarment.
If a judge believes that the DOJ filed fraudulent documents with the court, the judge needs to throw out the case. Guess that would be too logical!
The Deep State judge continues to stall this case issuing non-sensical orders. Begone Rat Sullivan!
