They keep nudging as Hussein would say.
Judge Sullivan deserves impeachment IMO.
Sidney Powell should file a motion for this judge to kiss their ass and walk out and never appear before him again. The judge will then need to issue a bench warrant but Barr should notify the judge that the DOJ will not carry out any demands issued by the judge to arrest Flynn for contempt by ignoring this judge’s orders.
What the frack? Is that legal?
The deep state ain’t going down easy, folks.
That is the same thing the 9th Circuit did in that immigration lawyer case isn’t it?
Thtd US Supreme Court just overturned that subsequent verdict by 9 -0 just last week.
Sullivan is laying the ground work to find Flynn in contempt of HIS court. Un-flippin-believable. Where the heck is AG Barr????? He needs to drop the kitchen sink on Sullivan. NOW.
History repeats itself. First as tragedy then as farce. I think we have reached farce here.
The case against Flynn was a freaking FRAUD!! WTH is this BS still going on?!?!
And Lindsey Graham needs to resign!! What a useless turd he is!!
In every criminal case there is a defense counsel representing the defense, a prosecutor representing the people and a supposedly impartial arbiter called a judge. Sullivan has all the players in his courtroom. Why does he need a 10th player on the baseball field. The defendant has pled guilty. He can either sentence him or he can dismiss it pursuant to the motions of both the defense and the prosecution.Has Sullivan ever heard of a law library or is he too lazy to visit it? Isn’t that why this cowardly Dem jurist looking for friend of the court political cover to support his decision to sentence him gets paid the big bucks.
makes you wonder whose advising this Judge. certainly he’s not equipped to figure this out himself......
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.
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.
No doubt this is being run by the deepstate. Drunken obama called it just a little early in the phone call.
I do not think I ever seen or heard of case where this happened.
this is completely unprecedented.
Wait a minute. I have seen those shows on TV. When the district attorney drops the charges, the judge always slams the gavel down and says case dismissed.
When the charges are dropped, the judge has nothing left to judge.
The Judge has already made up his mind and wants to pull a person that will rule in his favor?
What kind of monkey business is this?
Time to remove the Judge. This clown has lost it.
Isnt this a form of double jeopardy?
Yeah this is getting more weird. Very hard for me to understand the role of a person brought in by the court to argue a certain point of view against everyone else in the case.
I think the conviction or sentencing of Flynn cannot withstand an appeal after this
The absurdity is the judge can make his own decision to deny the government motion. He has no need to create new “parties” to come in and prosecute Flynn. Much less a biased party.
