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

LOL Check you Constitution. A Judge is not subordinate to the Executive they are EQUAL. It is impossible for a Judge to be "insubordinate" to the DOJ. They can only give suggestions to a Judge not orders.

A judge violating ethical rules and committing ethical violations can be impeached.
check your constitution.

are you saying that the judges on the DC appeals court got their law degrees from a corn flake box?
what evidence do you have to support that with?

U.S. Court of Appeals - D.C. Circuit - Sri Srinivasan

This is the judge that issued the ruling.
Doesn't sound like he received a degree from a box of corn flakes to me.
so once again we can just say you concede the point as usual.

typical leftist can't accept facts that proven him wrong.

Facts are Sullivan has the authority - cry havoc of a Judge gone rogue, when he is in FACT adhering to the laws

If the hiring was illegal the higher court could have stepped in

But it ain't and those are just the facts

That is not insubordination and go right ahead just try and impeach him. He does not need to pardon Flynn because the DOJ told him to. They cannot order him around.
 
ludin said:
Flynn has changed his plea to not guilty a constitutionally protected act.
The DOJ has dropped any charges rendering any plea agreement moot.
it also renders any guilty plea as moot.

facts do not care about your feelings.

Again a Judge does not need to accept a change of plea, especially after a 2nd guilty plea and after so much time as gone by. If the plea agreement is not in effect he is also libel for several other crimes that were part of it. But it remains in effect until the judge accepts his plea change...if he ever does. What the DOJ says or does has no effect on a guilty plea sworn before a judge either. The DOJ did not accept the plea, the judge did. You obviously have no clue about separation of powers.

Sullivan is not attempting to continue the prosecution.

Judge Sullivan is not contesting the DoJ Motion to Dismiss.

Sullivan wants to ask DoJ questions about it.

I'd bet this ends further on down a winding road with Sullivan granting the motion to dismiss while sending Flynn to the slammer.

Translation: he wants to continue the prosecution.

He was talking about the FBI documents relating to the Flynn investigation not the tape of the call. Grenell will never release that. Then we would hear Flynn telling Kislyak not to respond to Obama's new sanctions because Trump will remove them as soon as he can. How do I know that? Because that is also exactly what Trump tried to do the week he took office.

Nope; he was referring directly to the Flynn/Kislyak phone conversations.

All that is true yet it does not apply in this case at either level, ie, district court or the appeals court.

Sullivan has suspicions and the three appellate judges want to hear what his suspicions are and why.

Neither is Sullivan trying to make DoJ continue to prosecute the case, nor is Sullivan trying to prosecute the case himself. Sullivan has suspicions. Now that the idiot Powell has brought the case to the court of appeals, the three judge panel needs to hear Judge Sullivan's suspicions. This is what is occurring at the present time.

Either that or they are trying not to embarrass him...

And it seems that's what the judge has hired to lawyer for - the appellate reply.

Sad when he has to hire a lawyer to explain why he is doing what he is doing.

The DOJ is the head of federal judicial enforcement, so, yes, the DOJ is the boss of a federal judge.

And no judge (be them federal or not) is an island unto themselves EDIT: when it comes to being impeached or not.

There are three branches of government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.
The DOJ is in the Executive Dept
The district courts and circuit courts and so on are in the judicial.
The Executive, and thus the DOJ, are not the supervisors of the judiciary.
Thus the DOJ is not the supervisor of the judges and the courts.
Nobody is being impeached over this stuff-- and that has nothing to do with because Pelosi is speaker.

The Attorney General does not have the power to dismiss a case. He would have, otherwise.

So, they had to go through Sullivan, and theyre leaning heavily on him. Its the ways gangsters conduct business.

??? How is the DOJ "leaning" on Judge Sullivan?

Trump & Barrs destruction of the legal system
1 of 3 Branches is upholding the law & the independence of the Judiciary
Click to expand...

You have it backwards. It was the various bad actors in the FBI and other agencies that have destroyed the legal system with it's bull****. It's funny that this judge is apparently too much of a idiot and ***** to make his own argument? Aren't judges supposed to be legal experts?
 
swing_voter said:
Justice Department ran by Barr dismissed the case. Trump owns Bar and Trump wanted the case dismissed so Bar did it.

But that's not justice.

Flynn plead guilty twice.

The judge wants to see if he can still try Flynn.

In this case, I think the judge should try Flynn since Trump getting Flynn off seems corrupt.

That's not the job of the "judicial branch". They don't have standing to play the prosecution.

One of these days, I'll try to reciprocate that earlier "Like"
Unfortunately, I can't do it with this note.
 
Chomsky said:
From all I've followed in the people he's hired, it looks like Sullivan is not going to be bullied by the Executive Branch, and is going to do his best to provide unencumbered justice. Too bad for Trump, Barr & Flynn. Couldn't happen to a better bunch!
Click to expand...

How far you've fallen. You don't even have the basic facts right anymore. It's sad. This now has nothing to do with "being bullied by the Executive Branch". It was the appeals court that told this judge "WTF? Explain yourself, you have a deadline to do so." Further, the justice department dropping charges against someone in no way bullies a judge. tf happen to you?

Wait...how is a 2nd party going to explain someone's decision better than the person himself? Yeah, that totally makes sense :roll:
