Report: Judge Sullivan Cancels Hearing in Gen. Flynn's Case
[PowerlineBlog] Judge Emmet Sullivan reportedly has cancelled a November hearing he had scheduled in the case of Gen. Michael Flynn. Judge Sullivan said he is cancelling the hearing "in view of the parties’ comprehensive briefing concerning Defendant’s Motion to Compel Production of Brady Material." In other words, he has all the argumentation he needs to rule on this motion.

In this post, John discussed and embedded Flynn’s reply brief in support of that motion, filed by Sidney Powell. He described the evidence presented by Powell on Flynn’s behalf as "bombshells." I think that’s a fair characterization.

The cancellation of oral argument tells us that Judge Sullivan is ready to rule, but not what his ruling will be. I understand, though, that Gen. Flynn’s legal team considers today’s order by Sullivan good news. Its comprehensive discussion of prosecutorial abuse in this matter stands unrebutted.

Let’s hope Judge Sullivan sees it this way. Michael Flynn has endured unconscionable treatment from the country he served with great distinction.

As John wrote in his post about Sidney Powell’s brief on Gen. Flynn’s behalf:

The Flynn prosecution has lifted the lid on corruption at the Department of Justice and the FBI that few could have imagined. The anti-Trump FBI conducted itself in a way we might associate with a totalitarian state, not the United States of America.

For the most part, the people involved have been fired in disgrace. I am no expert in criminal law, but it seems that some of what happened here‐for example, the falsification of the Form 302‐must be a crime. If crimes were committed, they should be prosecuted. The prosecution of General Flynn should be dismissed, and those involved in it should be, if not prosecuted, censured.

#1 So the question is "does deep state has something on the judge?".

#2 If Judge Sullivan rules in favor of General Flynn that exculpatory information was withheld; that would seem to indicate prosecutorial misconduct. Will the DOJ go after that? Some on the Mueller team have a history of prosecutorial misconduct in the past.
