This is pretty fking outrageous!
So the judge doesn’t want to let them get away with just dropping the case. Now, the judge cannot try a case the DOJ doesn’t bring to court. So it isn’t about that. It’s not about Judge Sullivan trying to force Barr and the DOJ into submitting for a trial and to present the evidence or lack of it. It’s about something that’s — well, depending how you look at these things, far more sinister.
Judge Sullivan, you should know, refused 25 times to allow amicus briefs written and to be submitted on behalf of Flynn. During the phase of this where it was an actual case, before the DOJ had dropped it, there were 25 separate requests for friends of Flynn to file amicus briefs on his behalf, and this judge refused all 25 times.
Legal experts will tell you that case law generally prohibits trial court judges like this from second-guessing the government’s decision not to prosecute a defendant. But it is really rare for a judge to ask for or, in this case, permit amicus briefs when prosecution has decided to drop the case. So what’s happened here, the DOJ and Barr announced they’re gonna drop the case, and these Watergate guys led by Richard Ben-Veniste — we’re talking about lawyers whose heyday was in the 1970s, folks — are demanding to be heard.
They want to prolong this. They want to be able to give the media something they can go on record to counter this case because the news of the case is there isn’t a case. There wasn’t any collusion. The Russians, if anything, [we have now learned, were helping Hillary. And we have that sourced from none other John Brennan, Obama’s CIA director.
So what these lawyers — pure, partisan, left-wing Democrat hacks — have asked the judge to do is to give them a forum to file these briefs in which they can claim Flynn is guilty, that Flynn did it, that Barr is a reprobate, that this is nothing more than Trump politicizing justice and, oh, how horrible because they know that the media is gonna cover and expose and promote and amplify whatever it is they submit as their amicus briefs.
It’s simply a way, and the judge is complicit, of creating a phony news cycle that will continue the original attempt to suggest that Flynn is guilty. I mean, friend of the court brief, friend of what, friend of who here? Who are they friends of? Who are these Watergate lawyers friends of? Well, they’re the friends of the court in this case. What are they arguing? They’re arguing DOJ should not drop the case.
This is a deep state move because Flynn knows where the bodies are buried. Is it any coincidence that this is happening when declassification is being released to the public? What is baffling to me, is this same judge dropped the case against former Senator of Alaska Ted Stevens under similar circumstances that he was set up. Expect more releases of materials by Grennell to turn the heat up even more on these deep state cksuckers!
Yes, and it was mostly a double standard from the judge.
Something is at play here in terms of motives from the judge. I see a deep state plot at work looking to undermine Flynn’s credibility and to ultimately silence him.
Michael Flynn can’t be charged twice. They are just wasting time…in hope, they can later convince the American public; that he is still guilty. No matter what.
By the action/desperateness from the left…they’re hiding something which we are now seeing.
As for your evidence. I have far more that’s out there then you do on Russia collusion.
After doing a little digging, this came into focus that starts to make sense. Sullivan has got something to hide. Let this sink in for a while!

@Dr_Manhattan, Of course and explains why he is doing this:
The judge handling the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn is asking for opinions about what he should do now that the Justice Department wants to drop its prosecution of Flynn.
Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order on Tuesday soliciting “friend of the court” briefs but did not address the government’s reversal or suggest when he might.
Sullivan’s order did mention that such filings, known within the legal world as amicus briefs, are appropriate in situations when “the amicus has an interest in some other case that may be affected by the decision in the present case.”
That suggests the U.S. District Court judge wants to hear from those who say they would be affected by the precedent that might be set by the Justice Department’s decision not to go forward with its case about Flynn’s lies to the FBI — even following Flynn’s admissions and guilty plea in the matter.
Rand Paul nails it on the head! The FISA court is unconstitutional!
MCCARTHY: There’s a bunch of lawyers who are actually more ancient than I am who call themselves the Watergate prosecutors, and they figure the Rolling Stones still go on tour so why shouldn’t they get the band back together and they’ve been doing that since Trump came to office trying to get him impeached. Judge Sullivan, who has been so unhinged on this case that he originally characterized it as a treason case, decided this was just a peachy idea. So now he’s inviting basically an anti-Trump group therapy session. It will make no difference in the end, but it will just drag the process out.
I actually know Brett Tolman personally. My family has sold his family Horses over the years.
What he is saying is correct! Doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure that out.
No matter what sentence Emmett Kelly hands down to Flynn, he’s gonna get a full pardon.
Emmett Kelly
A shame you don’t follow the entire story jus the cherry picked facts you want to believe.
Don’t bother with this asshat! He is a partisan hack that masquerades as someone who knows what they are talking about by repeating what he hears on MSNBC and CNN. Total waste of time!
While I hate to see the General twist in the wind the longer this stays in front of the American people the better.
If Sullivan signed the order today the entire treasonous episode would be gone by Monday morning.
Let it continue to play out, let’s continue to view more and more unredacted material. It’s in the Oval Office at this point, let it continue to play out.
So no evidence…
Sorry bud…Not going to play your silly games of denial and deflect.
You needn’t play any games. Just present the evidence to support your claim…
