Outrageous is correct. I cannot wait to see Sydney Powell's response to this. She's already pulled up miles of swamp drain clog, and now this cuck is challenging her with this? She's gonna unleash fire and fury.
I am impressed with the bravery of this woman. I am surprised she hasn't committed suicide yet and zipped herself up in a duffle bag.
She may want to think about hiring security seriously.
She is probably safe as long as this is the most high profile case in the country. Couldn't imagine if the defense attorney was murdered during the trial how that would help their case. Afterwards maybe be another story.
Safe like Jeffrey Epstein?...
A terrible tragedy. Flynn’s lawyer died of coronavirus after two gunshots to the back of the head.
You’re right.
This has the type that should be winning bravery rewards, not Bruce little dick Jenner and greta
This is insane. I can't find any sort of precedent or statute he's basing this power on, and no one's been able to point to one yet. Even legal forums seem to be stumped at the moment as to if this is even...legal.
This judge needs to be immediately removed from the bench and placed in solitary confinement in prison, with no lawyer, no visitors and maybe an occasional bat and pail of water for food.
Some references are timeless.
murder never gets old.
An oldie but a goodie, DearCow.
Age doesn’t matter when it comes to MAGA!
But size does, and our President has BIG HANDS!
There’s no problem there. Believe me.
Definite BDE.
I've been dating myself for awhile, now...At least since my last divorce.
But seriously, which reference did you mean? The duffle bag?
LMAO! Remember reading about that story 20 years ago.
What do you call it when you have an impartial judge who goes so far as to hire someone specifically to incriminate a person being tried in his court? The judge has just shown his extreme bias, and that in light of the fact that the plaintiff already dropped the case completely because the defendant was framed!
What is this "judge" doing? If there is any oversight whatsoever to our court system they should be all over this guy by tomorrow morning.
"Pelosi's house"
For now.
There is one other body I can think of
though it isn't one of the three branches.
WE. THE. PEOPLE.
One day it's going to come. Are you ready for it when it does?
Abraham Lincoln disagreed with the idea that the people aren't included in the three branches when he called us a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
what about US Marshalls? I thought they could do it.
Texas Rangers!
Or wetworks at the vineyard
There is one more 'body'.
The citizens of the united states
So now he's trying to source a private prosecution if the DOJ wont procecute.
Is this guy actually a judge or just an actor?
He can't deliver for his Deep State overlords. So he's spiking the ball to not get blamed for failing.
Putting his finger on the scale. Gee, I really can't understand why the DoJ higher ups would want to pull the plug on an investigation after discovering that it was never warranted, or that the confession was improperly coerced with an illegal side deal using conflicted counsel.
This is the same guy that called Flynn a "traitor" in open court. Expect him to get bitchslapped on appeal, though if we get another leftist, it might take more than one appeal.
The funny thing about "checks and balances" is that they don't actually exist when it comes to the courts.
Well the POTUS can pardon someone, whether innocent as fuck like Flynn or guilty as fuck like Side 'O Beef. I'm not sure if he can be pardoned until the process is over though.
Sullivan is protectin his homie Hussein
Did you see Victoria Toensing's comment, 2nd comment quoted in Conser. Treehouse? She is a fantastic attorney in her own right, but also the law partner and wife of Joe DiGenova. Here is what she had to say about it:
"Does Judge Sullivan read SupCt decisions? Last week SupCt held using amici was “drastic departure” and “abuse of discretion.” Why amici for @GenFlynn now when Judge refused Flynn friends amici 24 times. Judge shld be removed from case…then from Bench." #obamagate #maga
I did. I believe they're talking about this case:
https://www.scotusblog.com/2020/05/opinion-analysis-lawyers-should-lawyer-judges-should-judge-the-court-remands-sineneng-smith/
IDK navigating my way around that site is not easy! But I do not see anything where it says, right on that page anyway, that the amici was “drastic departure” and “abuse of discretion," that Toensing cites.
They linked to a PDF with the ruling:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19-67_n6io.pdf
It discusses a court's improper use of amicus briefing in more detail.
Thank you, I wanted to see what the reasoning was!
If this so called "judge" is hiring a retired judge to actually try the case, this is prima facie evidence that Sullivan has deemed himself unqualified to preside over the case in the first place.
He's gotta go home and tend to his wife's bull, prima faciel
So, the judge says this reeks of political interference... Yeah, they caught a corrupt prosecutor who made an illegal side deal and kicked him out and then dropped the case because it's clearly a mistrial at this point.
The fact that he's asking to show cause only for trying Flynn for perjury, especially this long after the fact, is telling as to how biased this is.
Also, the guy he just appointed so happened to have just penned an Op Ed against Flynn. I hope that Syndey Powell will move to recuse him on this basis as he's not really "independent."
This is Sullivan scrambling to put his fingers on the scale, but I don't think it will last more than a headline's worth. This will get overturned for abuse of discretion, I should think, if not on appeal than on the appeal after that.
Ok so in 2 years? Mission accomplished for the swamp.
This just confirms Trump and Grenell are directly over the target.
Alex Jones there.. hahahahhaha that would be the greatest show on earth.
I still think Alex Jones should be the White House press secretary.
No thanks. Kayleigh is way more intelligent and quick on her feet. She is incredibly MAGA.
In his tank, wearing Patton's helmet
He would shit his pants!
No, call CNN and force them to report on it.
Can't wait for the perp walks.
Their deadman switches on the other hand.. are likely to be extreme.
Airborne Ebola, 2nd wave, we warned you!
And the American economy will commit suicide by shooting itself twice in the back of the head. Sorry, we had to do it, because orange man is bad.
The US economy didn't crash itself.

if you're taking flak you know you're over the target
Kangaroo courts and judges must be destroyed. The future of America depends on it.
Yep! This judge should spend the rest of his miserable life in prison. If there is any justice left, he will be removed from the court, investigated, and thrown in jail after this pathetic display.
At this point he's 100% incompetent at least and should be immediately relieved.
They have to be desperate to pull this. Changing your plea is not perjury.
You can only apply perjury to objective facts when under oath.
Who’s job is it to get him removed? We need to take some action.
Congress can impeach him, but I don't know if there is any other way to remove him.
there's always another way.
God can always step in.
He does work in mysterious ways.
That would be lovely.
Fun fact my Democratic congressman was impeached and convicted by the Senate for taking bribes from the mob as a federal judge before running for office.
If the system won't it's up to us. I don't relish the thought but it's our responsibility, ultimately.
Stock up.
On helicopters.
Get foreigners out of the judiciary, and that includes ones that happen to have dual citizenships.
Motion to recuse inbound... the judge already proved his bias by calling Flynn a traitor in open court.
The problem is, judges get to decide if they recuse. Seems like changes need to be made to the system where recusals can be brought to another court and taken out of the presiding judges hands entirely.
writ of mandamus from a higher court could force him to recuse, no?
The Court exercises its inherent Trump hating bias authority...
Which is allowed, because he's #resisting fashizum. Meanwhile, if Roger Stone forgets what brand of breakfast cereal he ate on a specific date three years ago, it's the big house for him.
^ This.
In DC, there are no coincidences.
Yes.... this is how it works... like the news artical trying to warn iran of the incoming strikes that took out their leader, they communicate like this..... like comey the other day saying stay the course and dont leave... it is all code
Obama is terrified of Flynn for some reason. Watch and see
He would still have to be hired by the admin in an official capacity and they can't do that while he's technically "on trial" for the "felony" of "lying" (being entrapped) by the FBI.
Fuck the FBI, fuck "muh rank and file," destroy the whole organization, physically if needed.
He's got to be exonerated first.
If he's exonerated/ "case dropped with prejudice" ... then the original prosecutors - everyone involved - was acting basically outside of the mandate of their position.
That is: He can sue them personally. (Not just the State, them personally ) and ... Discovery is a bitch. Or something. I read the word 'legal' once.
Flynn already knows a lot of things about Obama. But. If he's exonerated ... he probably immediately gets his security clearance back and everything... So ... proving it easier.
Adding to pile of whacky OBAMAGATE news for the day (week).
Nailed it
So who is the prosecution at this point? Its Michael Flynn vs the judge?
lol. seems to be that way....as much sense as that makes.
Gosh, what a stroke of luck! The newly-appointed amicus judge could just submit his WaPo op-ed that he recently co-authored! 🙄 H/T Techno Fog: https://twitter.com/techno_fog/status/1260713315426340864?s=21
One of the replies suggests pointing Sullivan to this decision:
https://www.scotusblog.com/2020/05/opinion-analysis-lawyers-should-lawyer-judges-should-judge-the-court-remands-sineneng-smith/
Yep. It’s not like a judge is required to follow precedent or anything. What a shitshow.
wtf is this
It's stall and delay. Which is only going to piss off Trump even more. And Flynn, (who obviously knows exactly where all the bodies are buried). Dumb, dumb, dumb move on Sullivan's part.
This perjury idea was signaled from Obama.
Once again, Obama and the Swamp fucking with our Republic again.
Like everything else, government can't even run its deep state coup competently
I LOVE this comment. I hope the fact that millions of people can't get their unemployment during this shutdown (can't get through to the unemployment bureaus and if you do it still takes forever to pay you) will redpill them to the fact that the government can't DO anything competently. SO WHY WOULD YOU EVER VOTE FOR MORE GOVERNMENT?
they can't help their hubris
They're not going to just sit by and allow law and justice to be reestablished.
Since they don't care about justice then they will sadly find themselves on the receiving end of street justice, which is a lot more grisly and unpleasant
I thought I had seen just about everything.
These fuckers will not give up. They must be destroyed wholely and completely by the justice Durham is readying for delivery.
They always want to tarnish Flynn (Obama has had it out for this guy forever).
If Flynn walks, it's possible that he could be brought into the Trump Administration in his 2nd term. Obama can't have that; Flynn knows it all and will find it all.
Shit, a pardon for THIS with Biden going down in flames dragging his former boss's entire administration along with him isn't going to hurt. Hell, Pelosi and Schumer should start calling out against a pardon now. It will ultimately hurt them as they fuss about how we have a 'crisis' already at hand.
I believe there can not be a pardon until there is a verdict and the party in question Flynn admits to his guilt to get the pardon.
Pretty sure the president can pardon before a verdict. It just looks better to wait.
So instead of judges being a impartial arbiter of the law. They are now deciding to write and enforce the law itself.
Its time for massive judicial reform. That means knocking the whole system down and restarting it...with additional checks.
This is the biggest pile of steaming DC swamp manure I've seen over the last 4 years.
You know the House is going to be biased and the integrity of our DOJ/FBI institutions have rotted away but the full extent of how swampy judges are is outrageous.
Pushed me over the edge to finally make an account and stop lurking here.
I know how I'm voting this November!
Guys! I think we need a coat over here please!
brick brick brick
After rejecting this 24 times, now suddenly he wants this outside involvement.
To the Supreme Court and hurry up about it!
He asked another judge to help him prove a negative...
This is totally the most outlandish thing I have ever seen a federal judge pull
Since this judge now wants to act as a prosecutor and Flynn has the right to question his accusers his defense should put the judge on the witness stand and demand answers as to who is directing him to do this.
This is fucking ridiculous. I've never seen such a blatant attempt at railroading someone. He's already lost his house, job and reputation because he happened to be associated with the Trump campaign. Obama and Biden used that association to spy on the Trump campaign. That is treasonous
Emmit Sullivan asked if Flynn should be charged for treason for lying. This cocksucker has been bought and paid for a long time ago. How the fuck would he take a logan act violation and turn it around to treason. Somebody needs to check if this judge ever took a trip on the Lolita express
they can retry the case in public though
BINGO! You nailed it pede. They know full well that legally this is all for nought. It's sound and fury signifying nothing. However, their media allies can take this nonsense - this empty show - and gin it up into: "Look! Orange Man & Barr corrupting the DOJ to carry out a personal vendetta against the patriotic heroes who tried to carry out justice against Orange Man and his gang!"
In the coming weeks and months, will most Americans hear and believe the above horseshit spin - or will most of them hear and believe the truth?
RULE OF LAW
PUBLIC NARRATIVE
If IF IF IF Okie DOKE
Bingo. I just wrote that above.
Same way they got the Special Counsel, the Kavanaugh 'trial' and the Ukraine Call impeachment.
Now all their pawns in the media will be put into play to drum up the hysteria.
Pile of shit. Can't this just be ignored?
Haha can't finish what he started 😂 😂. He should bend over and take what he deserves.
Big Mike steps in
Perjury for entering a false plea? So can the judge then explain why we can’t file charges against the Mueller team for suborning perjury.
Can’t wait for the pardon letter. It should be a hoot.
It's not about charging Flynn with perjury, but with Contempt of Court for "lying" to the court about lying to the FBI.
I honestly don't know how this whole thing shakes out. I mean, it almost seems as though judges have an uncontested and near limitless power in pursuing such charges (contempt charges that is).
My point is that it was the DOJ that coerced that plea from him. They are more responsible than he could ever be. No accountability for them?
Give Flynn a battalion and let him loose.
If Rand Paul is worth anything more than a hot bag of wind principles, he needs to start impeachment proceedings on this federal judge.
How does he have the power to do that?
The big arrests of these traitors can not come too soon.
IS THIS THING ON?
This is so outrageously unjust that I can barely stand to think about it.
Wow wtf... so that's what Obama meant with his reference to perjury in his leaked phone call. He was covertly implying what should be done next to buy himself more time?
To be fair, it was obvious to everyone, including yours truly, that perjury was the last thing they had left they could go after. I strongly disagree with it, of course, but I at least see how they came up with it.
What they're doing now is completely out of left field. Expect Flynn's lawyer to seek something called a Writ of Mandamus asking a higher court to say, in essence, "WTF, stop that you idiot" to Sullivan.
Attorney here (former US circuit court of appeals judicial law clerk). Judge Sullivan has jumped the shark. This cries out for a petition for a writ of mandamus to Judge Sullivan's supervising court, that is, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. A writ of mandamus is an instruction from the supervisory court that the judge must do his job. In this circumstance, there is binding case law of the DC Circuit stating that when the prosecution and defense agree that the case should be closed, the district judge must close the case. So Judge Sullivan is violating binding law on his court in his refusal to dismiss the Flynn case.
A writ of mandamus, followed by an investigation for judicial misconduct based on Judge Sullivan's apparent improper ex parte contact with the retired judge, would be a fitting end to this travesty of justice.
Do you have a cite for the binding case law? I'd love to read up on it.
EDIT: I assume you're referring to US v. Fokker?

Get involved in politics, or politics will get involved in you. If this doesn't wake you up to get involved in politics at any level, then you're just food for predators.
Need some oppo research on this judge STAT. The fact that Gillum was having meth filled gay orgies without us knowing shows how weak our side is on digging dirt.
What is this? Moot court?
We are dealing with somebody's freedom here. His rights have been violated. The act accused pled to cannot be proved by existing evidence on record. Prosecutorial misconduct has been established. Prosecution refuses to prosecute. This judge is violating the accused's right to a speedy trial.
It's too late for the swamp. They are finished now....after the next couple weeks it's all over for them!
This judge belongs in jail.
Even worse the other Judge recruited by the Flynn judge had written a op-ed saying he would find Flynn guilty.
On top of that judges in the USA do not have the power to prosecute a case. This judge is claiming a power that is not available to him. If it is not struck down on an appeal then I would be surprised.
I am incredibly surprised by the Deep State taking it this far. They must have some truly terrible secrets to hide.
Exactly. They should file a motion to recuse him and a motion for a writ of mandamus to have a higher court order an end to this nonsense.
So the prosecution drops out and the judge decides to appoint a different prosecutor? Is that how this works?
No, this is running off the rails and is absurd. The judge is abusing his discretion at this point.
Sounds like obstruction of justice to me. This reflects very poorly on Justice Roberts and the judicial branch. If judges don't want to end up like the FBI, they need to reign in this rouge judge.
I hope that Syndney gets a Writ of Mandamus judicially bitchslapping Sullivan for this nonsense.
He has good reason to clean house after this mess, but he should be looking at the former prosecutor's lies and the coerced confession, not trying to finish the setup against Flynn.
Then again... I sort of think he was part of it. I don't think Sullivan "accidentally" tapped an amicus who just penned an op ed judging Flynn. I just wonder how far back it goes.
I call on all autists to look for any and every possibly improper ex parte contact that Sullivan has had recently with these "Watergate Prosecutors", this unfriendly amicus, and anyone that's recently been fired from the DoJ that can show bias or collusion.
Scour their social media, online photos, etc.!
rogue judge, too!
I identity as a correct speller.
Except.. You can't be charged with perjury for accepting a plea bargain even tho you're innocent.
Sullivan basically questioned Flynn in court about the plea he was accepting. The problem is that the whole thing happened under duress. Flynn was facing overwhelming evidence because it was his word against the FBI's and the FBI had only a summary of their talk, written months later (and marked "draft"...) by the same agents who it was later proven conspired to violate his rights.
He should have entered his plea as one of pleading guilty due to overwhelming evidence, but he was advised by conflicted counsel (who could also have been subject to the FARA violations Strzok & co. were working on).
So he's been set up and didn't know he had any way to prove his innocence until later. I have a hard time faulting him for that, especially when the court is giving a free pass to Van de Cuck as I now call the corrupt prosecutor and everyone else who conspired to violate Flynn's rights in court.
Did these people not realize we can see them now?!
Holy shit guys I only have like 5 bags of popcorn left
We need to turn this to our advantage.
Continue digging and releasing findings facts damaging to the former Flynn prosecution team, the politicians who unmasked him and illegally leaked, the people who framed him, and the Russia narrative in general.
The longer they keep it an active issue the more it should be dug up to the roots.
