will perjury be for pleading guilty under oath to a non-existent crime?
Nuts I tell you. Either dat or he wants to make a mockery of the whole system. I think they have enough rope already, need some more.
So, are you saying this is to give it final legitimacy?
makes you wonder whose advising this Judge. certainly he’s not equipped to figure this out himself......
This is what a banana republic coup looks like. This judge is just making up his own “laws” as he goes.
If Trump loses, why not pardon Flynn the day after he loses?
1) Flynn will have to plead guilty for a Pardon...(again if they even let him)
2) Flynn will continue the appeal process but risks that it will go into Bidens term and no Pardon
so its NOV and Biden has won, case not closed....What would Flynn do then?
If he didn’t do what he’s told, his life would be over. Career or life, he can’t have both.
This is getting absurd.
It would be if it wasn’t so dangerous. These a-holes almost got away with their corruption.
That poor man — Gen Flynn. Every time I see his pic on TV I almost cry. His persecution is so unfair. He’s lost everything, and yet they keep bullying him relentlessly.
Retired Judge now at firm of Debevoise and Plimpton, said to make $3 million annually.
His client is the Deep State and the Coup Plotters.
In particular Ginisberg made clear that as the neutral party the judge cannot take an interest in or prosecuted case that the DOJ will not prosecute.
On May 7 2020 AJ Ginsburg writing for the court in a 9-0 decision in UNITED STATES v. SINENENG-SMITH reversing the 9th circus stated
Instead of adjudicating the case presented by the parties, however, the court named three amici and invited them to brief and argue issues framed by the panel, including a question never raised by Sineneng-Smith: Whether the statute is overbroad under the First Amendment. ....
The Nation’s adversarial adjudication system follows the principle of party presentation. Greenlaw v. United States, 554 U. S. 237, 243. “In both civil and criminal cases, . . . we rely on the parties to frame the issues for decision and assign to courts the role of neutral arbiter of matters the parties present.” Id., at 243
Even more damning in this case is what Ginsburg wrote in the cited Greenlaw case where she said:
“[o]ur adversary system is designed around the premise that the parties know what is best for them, and are responsible for advancing the facts and arguments entitling them to relief.” (Scalia, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment). As cogently explained:
“[Courts] do not, or should not, sally forth each day looking for wrongs to right. We wait for cases to come to us, and when they do we normally decide only questions presented by the parties.Counsel almost always know a great deal more about their cases than we do, and this must be particularly true of counsel for the United States, the richest, most powerful, and best represented litigant to appear before us.
And Ginsburg continues in Greenlaw: This Court has recognized that “the Executive Branch has exclusive authority and absolute discretion to decide whether to prosecute a case.” United States v. Nixon, 418 U. S. 683, 693 (1974)
So holdeth Ginsburg and her colleagues.
In this case, the United States has withdrawn from prosecution and sought to dismiss.
Judge Sullivan cannot continue a prosecution in place of the DOJ.

Former Judge John Gleeson - the amicus appointed by Judge Sullivan - has already judged the case.
“The [Flynn] record reeks of improper political influence.”
Seems to say a lot about Judge Sullivan’s motives.
Even his amicus is biased.

Getting?
Dems are playing for time while they figure out what tact to take. Barr needs to start a fire in Sullivan’s basket. Every day until he cries uncle.
I hope Flynn sues them all into penury.
Yes, and if you call him on it you’re racist, ya know.
Barr can’t do anything about federal judges.
They are appointed for life.
No doubt this is being run by the deepstate. Drunken obama called it just a little early in the phone call.
“The case is ended...over....dead in the water...”
Some lawyer said that Sullivan can still have Flynn imprisoned. Don’t know if it’s true.
As is Sullivan. One lies, and the other will swear to it.
“Does he have the authority to do that?”
“In a word, NO!”
Who has authority to step in and make this stop?
