Latest on Judge Sullivan's latest Michael Flynn Persecution
[Federalist] In a 2—1 decision authored by Trump appointee Neomi Rao, the court ordered Judge Emmett Sullivan to grant the government’s motion to dismiss. Judge Wilkins filed a dissent. Rather than dismiss the charge, though, Sullivan filed a petition for rehearing en banc, asking the entire D.C. Circuit to reconsider the case. The appellate court then directed Powell to answer the petition for rehearing and invited the federal government to do so, if it wished. Yesterday, both briefs were filed.
May 7 DOJ files Motion to Dismiss
May 19, Flynn files Motion to Compell Judge to Dismiss, etc.
May 21, DC Circuit Ct orders Sullivan to Respond to Flynn motion
June 1, Sullivan Responds (as does DOJ and Flynn)
June 24, DC Circuit 3 judge panel orders Sullivan to dismiss case
July 9, Sullivan asks full DC Circuit to review case.
July 21, Flynn and DOJ comment on Sullivan's latest

While there is no set time limit for a vote, we should know the answer within about 10 days
[that is business days or about by 5 August].
And if we haven’t heard by then, it most likely means the votes are not there to go en banc, but one or more judges intend to file a dissent to the denial of the petition for rehearing en banc to pontificate about Flynn, or U.S. Attorney General William Barr, or Trump.

#4 I’m guessing his honor hopes to be shortlisted by the Biden campaign for those new Supreme Court seats.

#5 Flynn knows a lot about DS inner workings. IMO and from out here, it looks like Sullivan, has been tasked with harassing, delaying and blocking Flynn to keep him quiet for as long as possible (until after the election would be most desirable for the Dems).
