All I have to say:
I bet you never thought the charges against Flynn would get dropped, either.
All I have to say:
Sullivan has no authority over Barr.

Oh, so now the Attorney General is also above the law. Are you of the opinion that all cabinet members are also immune from prosecution?
I personally would like Sullivan to subpoena Barr and all the DOJ attorneys who prosecuted Flynn and let them have at each other. Let the fur fly!

Sullivan is in charge, not Barr.
No exculpatory evidence was withheld; Flynn lied, which he offense he admitted under oath twice.
Judges are not going to overthrow the rule of law for Trump and Barr.
Judge Sullivan is going to fare well exceedingly.

They are not dropped. Only a motion to do so has been made, and the Judge does not at all inclined to grant the motion.
And I own all the bridges.

Ludin unfactually believes otherwise.

The judge can't force the DOJ to prosecute the case.
What law gives a judge authority over the AG? Post it.
The judge can't force the DOJ to prosecute the case.
What is left for the prosecution to do? They convinced Flynn to plead guilty, to allocute his crimes under oath and in front of the judge, and the judge accepted the plea deal. As far as I can tell, the only thing left is the sentencing. Who is responsible for the sentencing of the defendant?
The lawyer for Sullivan will present the legal need for amicus briefs. This is not a disciplinary matter.
The appelate judges will determine whether Sullivan used the law correctly. If not, Flynn case dismissed.
If yes, amicus briefs.
Appelate courts are not inplace to censor or punish judges.

per the dc courts own ruling he has no choice but to accept.
With specific regard to Rule 48(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which requires “leave of court” to dismiss criminal charges against a defendant, J. Srinivasan said, “[D]ecisions to dismiss pending criminal charges … lie squarely within the ken of prosecutorial discretion.” And the leave of court language “gives no power to a district court to deny a prosecutor’s Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss charges based on a disagreement with the prosecution’s exercise of charging authority. For instance, a court cannot deny leave of court because of a view that the defendant should stand trial notwithstanding the prosecution’s desire to dismiss the charges[.]”
sorry but as we all know buying bridges is a scam and you fell for it. you own nothing.
ps this was the dc court of appeals. you know the same court that is asking sullivan to justify himself.
this is why you need to look up facts.
Not true.
Keep in mind that this same DC court system is the one who told the first judge in this Flynn case to recuse himself back on December 7, 2017.
This appellate court certainly has the power to do that to Sullivan now.
Nope.
To kick Judge Sullivans ass, would set an interesting precedent. The three appelate judges, if they just kick ass, would then begin a new justice system.
The two angry Republican judges plus one, single handedly, would set a precedent allowing a politically appointed Attorney General to re-write an investigation and trial. An investigation and trial started under a different AG.
AG Bill Barr in coordination with Powell the defendants attorney, eliminated career prosecutors in the case, judges decisions were polluted inorder to torpedo the case that had been tried and conviction.
I am not convinced that Judges are inclined to undermine their own authority and judicial independence.
So, for another hypothetical ass kicking and with Judge Sullivan hiring a high powered attorney, may we soon see Trump defense attorney Barr under oath.
Barr under oath explaining why he discounted Judge Sullivans rulings, undermined his own career prosecutors, ignored the Horowitcz report, had private discussions with Flynn's attorney Powell and then hired a cronie to make the ends justify his means.
And then under oath Barr explaining how he defends: Barr argued that the lie that Flynn was prosecuted for telling investigators wasn't actually "material" or influential to an investigation. They did not have a basis for a counterintelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage," Barr said, referring to the FBI
Barr can also explain what this has to do with justice: "Well, history is written by the winner," Barr replied. "So it largely depends on who's writing the history.
Under oath: Jeff Jensen -- the US attorney Barr named to review the handling of the Flynn case who said Thursday that he recommended that the case be dismissed

Under oath: Barr “twisted my words” to justify dropping Flynn case, former top Justice Department official says
There was no disagreement on whether Flynn's false statements were a "counterintelligence threat," Mary McCord says

Shea under oath: Note that just Acting US Attorney Timothy Shea signed this filing, SHEA CLAIMS THERE’S NEW MATERIAL BUT POINTS TO NONE
As noted, Shea repeatedly justifies this move by claiming there is “newly discovered” material. offered none.
