    Update:

    Flynn Appeal - The mandamus will be heard by Judges Henderson, Wilkins, Rao. Ordered that Judge Sullivan "file a response addressing [Flynn's] request that this court order the district judge to grant the government's motion to dismiss" Also - "the govt is invited to respond"

    Good Read:

    Flynn prosecutor Brandon Van Grack should be in trouble. How Van Grack's misrepresentations about the Flynn investigation and evidence led Judge Sullivan to issue an inaccurate opinion. Why a show-cause hearing is appropriate.

    DC Circuit Court Orders Rogue Judge Emmet Sullivan to Explain Himself for Not Dropping Flynn Case by June 1

    The Justice Department dropped its case against Good Guy General Mike Flynn last Thursday after bombshell documents were released that proved he was framed by Comey’s Corrupt FBI.

    Crazy Sullivan will have to explain why he should be able to ignore a recent Supreme Court Case (Fokker) that expressly prohibits Judge Crazy Sullivan’s judicial adventurism against @GenFlynn.

    It is unclear to me. Did those three Judges make that order because someone formally moved it or did it act on its own accord, unilaterally, out of the blue?

    Sullivan is a biased fool. What he’s done has no legal basis. The appeal to have him removed will succeed.

    There is no 'appeal to have him removed.' A Writ of Mandamus is extremely rare. Sullivan is not refusing to do what he is duty-bound to do. He is 100% entitled to be fully informed as to why he ought to allow a plea of guilty (made to him in his Court) to be recanted. It will never be ordered if there is another course available to someone like Flynn, and there is in this case.......Sullivan proceeds as he intends to and if Flynn does not like the outcome after Sullivan has done his job, he can appeal. This just indicates to me how much someone, or quite more than merely someone, has to hide and not have investigated. Powerful people do not want Flynn to do his job. It is an attempt to gag Justice, which while happy to be blinded will never be silenced in this sort of tactical way. The Court can never become part of some hatchet job on Justice. It should never allow itself to be duped or hustled.

    A judge is only there to resolve a legal issue when two parties disagree. If both parties want a case withdrawn, it gets withdrawn. The judge doesn’t get to keep the case for political sh-ts and giggles.

    1. This is not civil litigation.
    2. The plea of guilty (to a criminal offence) is the key to why what you have posted is wrong. If the DOJ had moved to drop the charge before that plea, not a problem. The Judge has no say.
    3. There was a plea of guilty, made to the Court. So, if you like, the Court 'owns' that plea.
    4. Flynn now wants to recant it and that has zero to do with the DOJ or its attitude on that recanting.
    5. It is up to the Judge to apply the Law ~ that is, in what circumstances he ought to allow a recant, and he must be vigilant to ensure the Court is not being hustled or duped, and has not been duped with the original plea.

    No matter what the judge does, an appeal will reverse his idiocy. The recent SCOTUS ruling on this issue makes the judge moot in this situation.

    The court doesn't own anything lol. Evidence was withheld to get a plea, that guarantees an wrongful prosecution and acquittal. It was a poor setup by shady prosecutors that they hoped wouldn't be revealed by sentencing. They knew they withheld vital information, it was declassified and bye bye prosecution. Worst setup in history and to a guy that gave so much for this country and got ruined because of TDS. America won't stand for crap like this.

    Which exposes an even bigger issue: Judges will just apply the law as they see fit for reasons based on political stance, race creed and color.

    Sullivan is the perfect example that justice is not blind, but is actively working to punish some while allowing others to get away with just about anything and everything.

    Well, well, well....lookee right here. ^^^^^^^^^ These blokes agree with my comments but are, as they must be, legally verbose about it. Read it and weep Flynn. Not so fast, Buddy......the Court will not be hustled by you in some sort of corrupt deal with the DOJ. Go get 'em, Sullivan.

    Exactly. His plea is now 'owned' by Sullivan and it has zero to do with the DOJ. Flynn can move to recant, but Sullivan is doing his job and is refusing (as he should) to be a rubber stamp of what looks like a very smelly deal between the DOJ and Flynn and everything which has happened since confirms my view that there is corruption at play so that arsseholes who have been very 'naughty' do not get exposed. Stuff them. Flynn entered a plea of guilty. That is what I have been hammering here, but some folks just want to put fingers in ears and go 'lalalalalalalala.'

    Good luck with that.

    The official FBI investigation found no wrongdoing. Then the Deep State reopened the case and threatened to railroad Flynn’s son, forcing Flynn to plead guilty. And who was his first attorney that encouraged him to plead guilty? Eric Holder.

    If this clown/judge sentences Flynn, it will be reversed in a NY minute.

    At what moment in time did the "Deep State" do that, and name names. Who is this mystic 'Deep State?' Is it one of Trump's 'alternative facts,' or an 'Obamagate'....what is it? Who are the people who are the Deep State? Name names.

    Not that it matters as Flynn pleaded guilty. He made a confession before the Judge. Sure, I have read allegations that the plea was coerced, as I am sure Sullivan has. But, I will not drop my pants on that. Neither will Sullivan. Let's get the details of that under sworn testimony before Sullivan. Surely, that is what you would want as well. Let's get to the bottom of that guilty plea.

    The judge lawyered up.
    A judge that won't even argue his own case.

    Clown world.

    The case was closed. No wrongdoing had been found. All of Flynn’s conversations with the Russians were determined to be legitimate by a normal FBI investigation.

    Then Strzok asked Comey for special permission reopen the case and to send agents to meet with Flynn to entrap him. Comey agreed. The agents went to the White House without notifying the White House’s legal team (as is customary). They told Flynn he didn’t need an attorney because he wasn’t under investigation. They asked Flynn a set of questions - when they already knew the answers. When Flynn got an answer wrong (maybe he forgot, or whatever), they had him.

    Then they told Flynn if he didn’t plead guilty, they'd pursue his son and give his son the same treatment.

    This is a classic case of entrapment, and the whole "Get him to lie? Get him fired?" note is the smoking gun.

    "Flynn confessed" is completely irrelevant, because it was a perjury trap(read: entrapment) plain and simple, and that is ILLEGAL. It's prosecutorial misconduct plain and simple.

    A person can commit all sorts of scummy crimes and misdeeds, and they can confess to them all, but if they did so while being entrapped, they walk.
    See? That's how that works.
