Sullivan said he was seeking Gleeson's recommendation on whether Flynn should face a criminal contempt charge for perjury because he testified under oath that he was guilty of lying to the FBI but then reversed course and said he had never lied.

The fact that Sullivan can not determine whether contempt occurred in his presence in his own Court would lead anyone to believe the contempt charge was not contempt.
Sullivan has access to a law library or is he too lazy to do the research to make a decision? How did Sullivan come to choose Gleeson, a former federal judge appointed by Clinton to the bench the same year Sullivan was appointed by Clinton, as the private attorney, not for general legal input, but specifically to submit an opposition brief to a criminal defendant’s case before his court? Obviously he had an ex parte conversation about the criminal case before him in encouraging Gleeson to submit an opposition brief to the criminal defendant’s case. Chances are he never told the defense counsel of his ex parte conversation and shopping around for someone to argue against the defense counsel’s client’s interests or the nature of his conversation with an outsider about the case before him. At this point, he is compromised and no longer a neutral arbiter. He should recuse himself, but he will not because he has decided to use kabuki legal theatre for cover to dramatize from the bench the Democrat narrative that Barr is not independent. Unfortunately there is too much unethical politicized trash like this guy sitting on Federal district court benches today.
Clinton fired all of the US Attorneys. The president has no authority over judges. Federal judges can only be impeached.
Clinton did not and could not fire federal judges. Those were US Attorneys and it was perfectly legal and no one made a fuss at the time.
That was until Bush fired only a handful of them and the dems went mad with rage and demanded investigations.
Sounds like how dems act
Impeachment’s need to start asap a lot of crooked judges on the lose.
I say lets have a trial and use it to further expose the fraud, the perjury trap that was set for Flynn.
Keep this in mind next time you’re given a jury summons. The American judicial system is circling the toilet.
Judges, or attorneys?
Both their game is money or power but not all are in that arena.
Sounds like a reasonable action.
Flynn has the goods on the Deep State, which is why Sullivan and the Deep State are trying to silence him and prevent his freedom. I wonder if he will be jailed for a fraudulently-applied perjury charge and Epstein’d before the election? Very sad.
the Deep State is fouling out in the last minutes of the fourth quarter
Great article in Forbes points out the SCOTUS ruling last week against the 9th Circus prohibited this action, along with an appellate decision even closer to the point in his same district that issues a writ of Mandamus against the trial judge for doing exactly what Sullivan is doing.
