D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Against General Flynn

[Rush] Breaking news that was inevitable, meaning it was gonna happen no matter what. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has denied Michael Flynn’s effort to force a judge to immediately dismiss charges against him. This is the case, Emmet Sullivan, the judge, refuses to follow through on the Department of Justice attempt to drop the charges, drop the case against Flynn. The judge says screw that. I want this guy going to jail. He pled guilty before me and I want this guy going to jail.

The DOJ says we’re not gonna pursue it, and the judge said, well, I’m gonna make you pursue it. So he appealed and lost to a three-judge panel at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Then Sullivan asked for an en banc hearing, meaning all of the judges. And this is what was inevitable. All the judges have ruled that Flynn cannot have the charges dismissed. In other words, they found for the judge, they found for Emmet Sullivan in a 61-page opinion.

Now, the reason I say this is inevitable, because there’s no way 25 or 30 judges or 21, whatever it is, were going to find against a fellow judge. It’s a fraternity. What about the rule of law? Rule of law, folks, we know there’s at least a two-tier system of justice in Washington for people in the system, for people in the establishment and people who are not. This has been established.

#1 Of course they did. They exist for power. They've always sought more purview and power. What Judge Sullivan did had no precedent. Who needs precedent? You can not have a republic with one third of the government beyond accountability of the people. You have a caste of self promoting, self selection, aristocrats.

In 1800, anyone who could be a representative, senator or President could be a federal judge. Today you have to have the right credentials, from the right schools, be known to the right people to get a life time job with little or no accountability.

#2 So much for justice for Flynn. The only good that could come out of this is to expose the corruption of the Federal judicial system.

#3 Systems and Institutions I thought were mostly dependable are showing deep rot, far beyond what I imagined. In each case, once trust is gone, how long before that ends American life as we knew it and ushers in something far more tribal and fractious? I hold Obama as the root cause of this, his salting of the bureaucracy and race industry rhetoric reversed 40 years of progress. George Wallace must be laughing his ass off somewhere, god God’s sake, backs are demanding segregation now!

#5 I think what you have is a lot of leftist judges who want Sullivan to drop the case against Flynn himself so they won't have to take Sullivan off the case.

At the end of the opinion they wrote that they expected quick action by the District Court on this case.

#6 Sullivan's timetable for a decision uncertain.

What a corrupted, petty, picayunish judge.
