Sullivan went after the prosecution hard on the Ted Stevens case, so he was thought to be a good judge for Flynn. Then, suddenly, out of the blue, he did a 180 and called Flynn a traitor, and every other name. I thought “where did that come from”?
My guess is that just about that time they got to him somehow, either a Cayman Island bank account, a fat contract with a family member, or some heavy-duty blackmail.
Either way, if they could expose how they got to Sullivan - and Roberts for that matter - that would go a long way to cleaning up the Just Us system.

Yeah, see my post above regarding the Ted Stevens case. As far as I am concerned, Sullivan let them get away with murder until the election was over, then he dismissed the charges.
Boy, does he burn my ass.
Really? How many of the prosecutors were disbarred?
After the Senate seat was secure for Sullivan's party...
Sullivan presided over the 2008 trial of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, who was convicted of seven felony ethics violations in October 2008.
During the trial, the judge refused requests by the defense for a mistrial to be declared, after information was revealed that the prosecution had withheld exculpatory Brady material.
Eight days after the guilty verdict, Stevens narrowly lost his reelection bid.
As more evidence of prosecutorial misconduct became known in early 2009, Judge Sullivan held four prosecutors in civil contempt of court.
On April 1, 2009, following a Justice Department probe that found additional evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, the Department of Justice recommended that Stevens' conviction be dismissed.
On April 7, 2009, Sullivan set aside the conviction and appointed a lawyer to investigate the prosecution team for criminal contempt.
Subsequently, one of the four prosecutors held in contempt committed suicide.
Ultimately, Sullivan dismissed the civil contempt charges, and no additional charges were brought against the prosecutors.

I guess the prosecutor that committed suicide didn't get the secret "downlow" text from Sullivan signalling the "All Clear"...
Pretty sure we all know what they have on John Roberts.....not sure about Sullivan.
