Sullivan has had all the information he needed to dismiss this case for many months--if not much longer.

There is such a thing as dragging a case out too long. Then the process becomes the punishment, the innocent suffer as if they were guilty, and the judge should be called out for misconduct.

Observe how it works. The DOJ wanted to keep the McCabe investigation open without ever coming to a decision. A federal judge delivered the smack down.

A federal judge has given the Department of Justice an ultimatum regarding former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe: file charges or drop their probe of whether McCabe lied to investigators

[The deadline was November 15]

Sessions released a memo instructing attorneys to pursue the most serious, readily provable offenses. McCabe was temporarily let off for lying. His celebration will prove premature. This has nothing to do with Durham's work. Barr's man Timothy Shea is now interim attorney for the United States District of Columbia. He replaced Jessie Liu:

"As a US attorney, Liu had overseen some ancillary cases referred by the Mueller investigation including the prosecution of longtime Trump associate Roger Stone, as well as a politically-charged case involving former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of Trump's ire. In January 2020 she determined there was insufficient evidence to indict McCabe. She was then transferred to the Treasury Department to await her confirmation, as Barr replaced her with his close advisor Timothy Shea.[16][17] On February 11, 2020, Trump withdrew her nomination, two days before her confirmation hearing was scheduled to begin.[18] CNN reported that Liu's nomination was withdrawn because she was perceived to be insufficiently involved in the Stone and McCabe cases.[19] Liu resigned from the government on February 12, 2020.[20] Days later it was reported that before Liu's nomination was withdrawn, Trump was presented with a lengthy memo describing a variety of ways Liu was perceived to be disloyal, primarily by not prosecuting individuals Trump disliked.[21]"

Which evidence did Sullivan have?

Exactly and now comes the evidence to support those motions provided by Mr. Barr's appointee out of USA EDMO

Ms. Sidney Powell’s outlook on this case appears to be gaining momentum.

Lt. General Michael Flynn’s plea was based on: (1) a framing by the FBI; and (2) a threat against Michael Flynn Jr. if his father didn’t sign the plea.

If the reports are accurate it is very likely Judge Sullivan will allow the plea to be removed. If the documents are as strong as outlined the entire case could be dismissed.

None of these super secret double sting type theories ever pans out. Trump has repeatedly deplored the injustice to which Flynn has been subjected.

That's all it is: injustice.

If the plan was to ruin Flynn and drag it out far beyond a reasonable timeframe, it succeeded.
