The criminal case against General Michael Flynn has finally and officially been dismissed by Federal Judge Emmitt Sullivan in a 43-page long opinion.
"It is further ordered that this case be dismissed as moot," Sullivan wrote.
The dismissal comes two weeks after President Trump pardoned Flynn.
"The President has pardoned General Flynn because he should never have been prosecuted. An independent review of General Flynn’s case by the Department of Justice—conducted by respected career professionals—supports this conclusion. In fact, the Department of Justice has firmly concluded that the charges against General Flynn should be dropped. This Full Pardon achieves that objective, finally bringing to an end the relentless, partisan pursuit of an innocent man," the White House released a statement. "General Flynn should not require a pardon. He is an innocent man. Even the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn did not think he was lying. Multiple investigations have produced evidence establishing that General Flynn was the victim of partisan government officials engaged in a coordinated attempt to subvert the election of 2016. These individuals sought to prevent Donald Trump from being elected to the Presidency, to block him from assuming that office upon his election, to remove him from office after his inauguration, and to undermine his Administration at every turn."
Earlier this year the Department of Justice dropped their criminal case against Flynn, arguing the FBI never had the authority to bring one in the first place. Judge Sullivan refused to dismiss the case, despite the federal government no longer pursuing a defendent.
The guy’s a disgusting disgrace who doesn’t belong in any court room except as a defendant. Sullivan should be forced to resign ASAP.
Not good enough. Should be punished severely for delay of action. The stuff these people have been doing can NOT lead to peace.
but he be who he be and he be affirmACTION poster boy
SMUG BASTARD SHOULD BE DISBARRED!!
SMUG BASTARD SHOULD BE DISBARRED!!
...........of course no one is held accountable for anything anymore particularly if they have the right color of skin or gender or political party but there was, once upon a time, a quaint notion that people like Sullivan could be held accountable...............it was called “Official Oppression”.....................

One of the most corrupt and partisan judges in the country, and that is saying a lot. He should be impeached immediately, but never will be because the Dems like corrupt judges who are on their side of the political spectrum.
Last night Sullivan was still going after Flynn “despite” the pardon. So what happened?????????
He can still go to hell.
Is there any reason the judge was delaying dropping the case, other than he had a desire to play around with a man’s life? He should be disbarred if there is no good reason for this.
Impeach that F bastard.
He takes an oath to uphold the Constitution and he’s nothing more than an affirmative action Jackson political slut
Looks like a deep fried Colonel Sanders.
This (too late) admission by him that the case is moot is finger licking good.
Big frigggin’ deal. He’s already been pardoned.
Disbarment would be too nice. He deserves a far worse fate.
And sued to financial ruin!
Dismissed after Trump’s pardon because he knows that kills Flynn’s civil suits.
Good luck with that. If Biden ascends, he will put him on the Supreme Court...
He should be questioned by (in a sane world) the FBI or whoever investigates judges and asked who was paying him off.
