First Step Toward bringing to heel Lunatic Judge in Flynn Case.

And is in violation of Circuit precedent, as well as a recent and unanimous Suprem Court decision.

Nope.

Flynn Redux: What Those FBI Documents Really Show

There are not many reporters, if any, better at this than emptywheel (Marci Wheeler). She cuts through all the bullshit and backs up everything with Provable facts and documentation.

"A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered the judge handling the criminal case of President Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, to respond to a request by Flynn’s lawyers to dismiss the case."

Appeals court orders Michael Flynn judge to respond to demand for dismissal of case against ex-Trump advisor

The Department of Justice two weeks earlier made the surprise move to abandon its own prosecution of Flynn.

This article is by one of the Democratic Media---so the spin will always be there. More honest reports likely soon.

Yes, to respond. Hopefully he responds by telling them to go fuck themselves.

____

Yea, I hope he does that, too.

And, he has so far shown himself to be Bat-Shit Crazy enough to do it.

Do you know that in a hearing in this Loon's Court, with Flynn sentencing pending---this Loon accused Flynn of Treason.

He was accused of lying to the FBI, and this Judge, either because he is a dumb-ass or corrupt, or both---with Flynn's fate in his hands---accused of lying, this Fucking Democrat Loon Judge adds a charge that the Prosecution never even brought---that carries the death penalty!

He apologised later, but the damage is done---his bias has been exposed.

He will eventually be kicked of this case for that comment alone. And probably reprimanded.

"Bringing to heel"?? Like a dog???

We'll see how that goes.

 

[Billiejeens]

Any....day....now.....
But hey, you read what you want into this. The appeals court is just setting a timeline. Not a ruling.

___________

I read---that they did not have to require the Judge to, in effect, explain his behavior. Writ of Mandamus is an extreme remedy. The Court could have dismissed it without comment.

If you are a Democrat/Socialist/Bolshevik-in-Waiting----hoping a 33 year Combat General continues to get Railroaded by Gestapo-like tactics---you can't like the "timeline".

_______

Yeah...and if that "33 year Combat General" had just remained faithful to his oath..instead of to his god (LOCK HER...errr HIM UP!!), he wouldn't be in the hot water he's in...errr.....OK, lukewarm water...Thanks Billy Barr!!

Never happened

 

[Billiejeens]

The way the system works is one side prosecutes, one side defends and the Judges referees.

In this case the judge has moved into the prosecutor position, this way doesn't work.

Actually Judge Sullivan appointed a retired judge to act in that role. As you pointed out, american courts are an "adversarial" system. Which means you NEED to have both sides of a controversy represented.

Both sides were.

"A federal appeals court Thursday has agreed to hear a request from Michael Flynn's legal team to remove the district judge overseeing his case, and has also ordered the judge to explain his controversial and unorthodox conduct in handling it."

I think Sullivan plans to hold Barr accountable for his controversial, corrupt, unprecedented, unorthodox conduct in handling it.

Idiotic, even for you troll

He absolutely should have already ruled on the justice department motion and the Flynn defense motion, eve if the ruling was no. Would not be surprised if he is taking time considering whether to site Flynn with contempt for standing in front of him, raising his right hand and verbally affirming/admitting to the crimes already admitted in the plea agreement that kept other charges out, and making verbal contrition.

The word is "cite".

If the judge does decide to punish him, who is going to see that any punishment is carried out? The DOJ wants to drop charges because it makes them susceptible to charges of malicious prosecution.

If the judge does not accept the motion and sentences. Justice, defense etc will most likely appeal, unless you think they will just say "OK Mike, we tried, see ya in 4 months,"

Let's say he finds him guilty. Who is going to carry out the sentence, whatever it would be?

I've never been found guilty of anything. I assume it would be the federal bureau of prisons. How is is done if the whole planet agrees agrees somebody is guilty as charged, admitted, basically guilty as sin? So far other trump people have gone to prison for a little while at least. I have no idea how they got there. I have heard of some reporting as if they were free men being dropped off at camp. One thing I am pretty sure of. If found guilty, there will be a quick, expeditious hearing to ask to wait before serving any of his 3 or 4 months until after the appeal(s). As much is up in the air, I suspect they would get it. There is no way this thing is over until Sullivan gets over himself or the fact he has been jacked around, does his job and rules on the motions before him. To my way of thinking, he should have sentenced, no longer than the month after appearing before him to verbally affirm his pleas. Then this could be in the hands of an appeals court judge.

Cite? Contempt?



All these fucking "legal scholars."

.

Excuse me? You think the judge should not rule on the motions? You think judges are fine with people who come to court, hold up their hand, swear on a bible, face them and lie to them straight in the face? I'm no legal scholar, but you sure ain't one either.

Nobody swears on a Bible. You watch too much old TV!

I have never been charged, but I have had to testify many years ago and the bailiff definitely held out a bible, somebody instructed that I should place my hand on it and swear the the testimony I was giving would be true so help me God, and that was just a traffic accident involving Colonel's daughter. You mean they don't do that anymore?

Perhaps somebody of your intellect or experience in Federal Courts can tell me which part of which court procedure you think I am missing. Or is it just that you believe Flynn innocent and believe the matter should be dropped without ruling, just tabled, so to speak, even if it left Flynn open to being retried at a more politically opportune time? I am all ears and eyeballs waiting for your enlightenment.

 

[meaner gene]

An unanswered question is if judge Sullivan dismisses the charge against Flynn, will it be with or without prejudice, and what becomes of Flynns plea deal? Is it completely null, or does it protect him from prosecution?

No. Billy Barr wants to drop the case so tRump will wag his tail at him.

I kinda think Flynn is going to sue the FBI/DOJ anyway, as he should IMHO. I don't know if criminal charges can be brought against anybody involved, the burden of proof is harder than it is in civil cases. But I would love to see them effers going to jail for what they did.

Flynn needs to round 'em all up and sue them for willfully violating his civil rights. He and his estate should end up owning these criminal fucks as pets for as long as they live. I'd like to see them prosecuted under RICO statutes. It was is a criminal syndicate and should be treated as such.

 

[MACAULAY]

Above cite is an excellent explanation as to how this corrupt loon Democrat Judge Sullivan just got kicked in the balls by the Appeals Court.

I love a good solid explanation like this.

The Liberals on this board will mostly run from it---except for half-wits like Penolope and DragonLady who won't be able to understand it. Look for something from the really bad fools like---FAKE NEWS!

But worth a read for anybody not educated on the public schools of rotting Northern cities run by Democrats for over half a century.

It protects him from prosecution now, but not forever. Taking into account any Statute of Limitations. Another
AG could prosecute him again. If Flynn were to sue, beforehand he would have to prove that his confession
was coerced and that would be a H said/she said deal, that would be hard to get a verdict out of.

This judge cannot do anything to prolong this thing past June. It's a done deal. But even so, I expect Flynn
to receive a pardon the day after the election. That would protect him from any future priosecution

Here's a Liberal Turd & Dumb-Ass pontificating on the foolishness of General Flynn's Emergency Motion for Writ of Mandamus---from 5/20/2020---just two days ago.

"Here in the real world, a court does not have to rule on the merits of such a petition — especially one as patently silly as this one. The most common result of such petitions is a denial with a single sentence: “The Emergency Petition for a Writ of Mandamus is DENIED.”

Flynn Lawyer Melodramatically Asks Court of Appeal to Shut Judge Sullivan Down

Sidney Powell, the lawyer for disgraced convicted liar Michael Flynn, has filed a Very Dramatic Document with the D.C. Court of Appeals, titled Emergency Petition for a Writ of Mandamus.

That didn't age well---over only 2 days did it?

But, then the only thing Liberals are more dedicated to than Licentious Hypocrisy, is Arrogant Stupidity,
