By all appearances my guess is Sullivan is going to unload on Powell, Flynn, and the DoJ. If justice is to be served Flynn will get the maximum amount of time allowable, Powell will get a reprimand from the ABA for willful misconduct, and Barr will be excoriated (clearly he should be impeached or fired) for disgracing the DoJ.
Thank you for your comment about Sullivan and his actions.
So far, IMO, Sullivan's actions appear to be an attempt to ignore them and focus on Flynn....unless he is forced to address the FBI's and Mueller's lawyers' misconduct.
Barr was perfectly in his right to do what he did. You seem to want to continue to blame Barr when Barry did not do this - he appointed an independent federal US AG to review the case and make legal decisions based on what he found.
The anti-Trump ex-Judge Sullivan reached out to wrote an opinion years ago arguing the DOJ has almost unquestionable authority to drop cases like this and that Judges have almost no alternative but to agree. If he suddenly changes his mind and argues the complete opposite it will be a sure sign that it is due to his own personal political bias.
Of course, the Appellate Court has already ordered Judge Sullivan to address the DOJ dropping the case HIMSELF BEFORE the date Sullivan set to hear arguments, something Sullivan adamantly declared he would not do 24 times during the case. It appears Sullivan is preparing to defy that order, which is why he lawyered up. If he does so, Sullivan himself potentially risks being punished, possibly even disbarred.
