The case law that's cited here is Burdick vs. United States (1915) where SCOTUS basically said the same thing Sullivan is saying. It should be noted that this was just a comment in the majority opinion and not directly related to the decision.
Presidents have pardoned people who they believe to be innocent, such as Trump's pardon of Jack Johnson. In these cases, the person is not considered to be guilty. Flynn accepting Trump's pardon doesn't imply his guilt, as Trump has extolled his innocence.
The judge is an idiot and everyone knows it.

Nobody, even the Deep State think Flynn was guilty of anything. Sullivan will keep squawking until he day he dies. His son is the real issue.
Projecting much?
Unexonerated until proven innocent by an amicus brief!
-it’s the law
