Federal judge hires high-powered D.C. attorney to defend his actions in Flynn case Judge Emmet G. S

Not claiming it was. Kavanaugh had the real possibility of possible criminal investigation. I was just tossing that little tid-bit out as a point of interest.

Well this gets interesting, then. Isn't the response Sullivan is crafting for the appellate court? Where Flynn appealed for relief? Wouldn't this document be an appellate matter?

I doubted that about Kavanaugh-the law at the time when Two Door made her claim was such that it would have been a form of Juvenile Delinquency with a SOL that had expired long before Kavanaugh got anywhere near law school.

later guy.

K'man, thanks a lot for your insight. Have a good night, and remember,

"may you live in interesting times"

Oh come-on Vesper, Sullivan is most likely hiring her for her D.C. appellate expertise. This is an appellate case.

As to your amicus concerns, I've seen amici often in criminal appellate matters, haven't you? Turtle's surely a better guy than me for this, but I'm sure I'm on high ground concerning the appellate courts.

Last I read Sullivan denied close to 2 dozen amicus briefs throughout this entire trial filed in favor of Flynn yet he is now looking for some that will argue against Flynn take the place of the government who want the charges dropped?

There is nothing normal about any of this. Sullivan has a couple more days to explain himself to the D.C. circuit.
 
In a perfect world, Sullivan would be indicted for violating Flynn's civil rights, and his lawyer would advise her client to take a plea deal.

I think your general claim here is acceptable. But as I discussed with Turtle above, I'm thinking amicus might be allowed here with Wilkinson involved in the response to the appellate court due the current specific matter (10 day response) being appellate. But what confuses me, is wouldn't leave of the court then have to come from the appellate judge?

Well anyway, it is an interesting case without a doubt.

And in a perfect world Trump wouldn't have gotten Barr involved.

Once the IG report came out, the DOJ had no choice but to drop charges. They had no business prosecuting Flynn in the first place.

They went after Flynn as a pawn they hoped to flip and testify against Trump on Russian collusion. Great plan. Except there was no Russian collusion and Comey, Rice, Obama, et al knew it.

A judge having to hire a lawyer to respond to a higher court's order?

What does Sullivan have to hide?

btw, the appeal court's order was to Sullivan. There is no reason for them to accept anyone as Sullivan's lawyer.

This might just piss off the appeals court. We'll have to wait and see.

So you are of the line that hiring a lawyer means you have something to hide huh? Guess you think your false god Trump has a lot to hide then huh?

Mycroft, you post some of the the biggest hypocritical comments on this board. Your comments are DISMISSED! SEE YOUR SIG LINE

A judge lawyers up against an appeals court? He's thinking his ass is grass.

The only thing the appeals court wanted was an explanation of why Sullivan didn't want to drop the case. There's no need to lawyer up to do that.

And the thing is, its kind of his job to draw up a defense of his judgement.

I think there's a lot more corruption that's yet to come to the surface and Sullivan's in on it.

It looks to me like Sullivan has hired a defense lawyer. I'm just wondering what he thinks he might need to defend himself against.

She does way more than defense. She does high profile cases mostly. Brett Kavanaugh, Hillary Clinton aides in the email scandal, etc.

Does this perfect world have different laws than ours?
 
Chomsky said:
I think you're jumping to conclusions, and Sullivan just wants to get it right. Who better to navigate the appellate court, than a prominent defense lawyer experienced in appeals?
But let me ask you this:

"Do you believe Brett Kavanaugh was guilty of something during his confirmation hearings?"

Because Kavanaugh hired her (Wilkenson) then, if you're not aware?
I see what Fox & the Trump media machine are doing with this story as we speak. I would hope you're not watching or reading them, and getting crazy conspiracies.

No; but then again Kavanaugh wasn't a judge presiding over a case that had been manipulated by the FBI.

Keep in mind that the previous judge in Flynn's case had already been forced to recuse himself because he was mentioned favourably in one of the Strozk/Page digital conversations ... a.k.a.: "That judge is in our pocket."

I think its just Judge Sullivan has joined the "Resistance" and he has concluded that membership in that is better than a good reputation.
 
Flynn has lied to high level Republicans and Democrats. Why is anyone defending him?

Same laws, but those laws are applied equally.

Interesting. Can you cite the law(s) that the judge is violating in our world's code?
