On Aug 11, Sullivan will appear before DC Circuit Court
2020-08-09
news with opinion
[NationalReview] D.C. Circuit judges seem disturbed by the degree to which Judge Emmet Sullivan has exhibited bias in Flynn’s case.

... whatever one may have thought about the gravity of Sullivan's irregular behavior back in May, he has now clearly crossed the Rubicon. It is incumbent on him to recuse himself. If he can't bring himself to do that ‐ a failure that would further demonstrate a lack of judicial detachment ‐ the D.C. Circuit should disqualify him. Either way, the case should be reassigned to a new judge, who should promptly grant the Justice Department's motion to dismiss.

#5  The court will "split the baby" in the nastiest way possible. Flynn wile be declared "guilty but unadjuticable" (yes, I know, WTF does that mean?) Sullivan will be declared "judicially unassailable" (yes, I know, WTF does that mean?)

Business will go on as usual.

#4  How much of this long drawn out farce is Deep State™ Machinations and how much is the Black Robed Mafia™ closing ranks to protect their authority?

#3  Next Tuesday, we may (or may not) know the disposition of this miscarriage of justice.

Sullivan ought to be ashamed of himself for taking his direction from Obummer (and the Swamp). His legacy will be that of a sycophant and not a judge interested in justice. He could have played it straight but didn't.

#2  Every aspect of this has dragged out the persecution of Flynn and the horrific legal casts that have destroyed him (for now I trust!}. It is a cautionary tale to anyone who is a key player in helping Trump, and continues to troll Trump to pardon him, a political gift to the democrats for the next 90 days if he does so. The real tragedy may be that Sullivan is removed or recuses himself at last, and a new judge is assigned and takes time to drag the case out more. This is about intimidation and perpetuating the gag order against Flynn, who in the end hopefully becomes a very rich man and starts talking at last about what he knows....with devastating effect I suspect. Obama's telling Trump that the two greatest threats he faced were Russia and Flynn speaks volumes about what they feared he would say and do.

#1  That this circus has gone on as long as it has is a disgrace and a black eye to the US "Justice" system.

And then you have the Sessions's and Barr's of the world that don't help matters.
