Sullivan is trying to try the case now the prosecutors have admitted it's a made up hoax. That's not the role of the judge. He's there to interpret the law and make rulings on matters of law. What he is doing will be overturned 100%. Flynn's lawyers should immediately appeal.
Right now, he'll probably seek a writ of mandamus, i.e. ask a higher court to tell Sullivan to cut this nonsense out and direct Sullivan to dismiss. The main problem is that there was a good reason to keep this open--to address the prosecutorial misconduct that happened right under this judge's nose.
Alas, appointing an "amicus" to try Flynn for perjury when that guy has just the other day penned an op-ed prejuding Flynn is... not even remotely reasonable.
If Sullivan does get away with some nonsense before a higher court puts a stop to it, expect to wait for months of appeals until it finally gets thrown out.
It's the very core of the "Resistance" movement. They know that they cannot win without running out the clock. The clock being the 2020 presidential election.
Essentially Flynn could request the trial be moved to a different district e.g. change of venue because of obvious prejudice. There's no appeal until there's a verdict because without the verdict there's no "injury" to appeal

I think even the left sees that an absolute can of worms this could open if judges are allowed to bring up charges and issues sua sponte. Most importantly, their judicial activism could be more easily undone if this was allowed to stand.
No judges are lord of their own domain, until they say they are done. Then the higher court can weigh in. And the liberal judges of the higher court can make a sudden complete reversal on amicus briefs.
If someone they force they trial to go forward and Flynn is convicted he can appeal and the Supreme court ruled strongly against judges inviting specific people/groups to submit amicus briefs and then basing their decision on those briefs.
In California the court invited a bunch of groups to submit amicus briefs because the activist clearly lost her case. These were all groups the judges were specifically inviting and had ties to. Then most of the case time was devoted to these briefs.
Sound similar?
Personally, I don't think it will get that far. How can you force prosecution to prosecute? Plus even the prior prosecution didn't want to face Flynn in court, hence why they threatened his family. They knew their case was flimsy as fuck.
This is a good case to cite in the upcoming petition for a writ of mandamus, i.e. when they ask a higher court to tell the judge in this court to stop this nonsense.
Seems like the left has gone all in. In just the past couple days in seems like the culture war has come to a head - judicial, legislative and executive misconduct at all levels of government across the country.
Keep fighting pedes, we must crush leftism and socialism, leave them beaten and demoralized. We're approaching the final battle for the soul of the country.
Reminds me of playing against a crooked dealer at cards. Maybe we can win this way or that way, we think. But the crooked dealer remains. That's our legal system.
I heard a discussion about something. It is an appeal to a superior court when there is judicial monkey business going on and allows a quick hearing at the appellate level.
Apparently, Sullivan is also playing games with scheduling in order to avoid having to rule against his own previous opinions in a motion filed by badass Sidney Powell.
I looked up Sullivan on Wiki. He was born in '47. There's another Clinton judge in that same district court that was born in '43. If Trump wins a second term, he might be able to bring some balance to that district. But it's loaded with Obama judges.
Yea, what OrangeElvis said... you need buy in from both sides. Sounds like it would be the same as impeaching the president. The House brings the charges (plays the part of the prosecution) and the Senate makes the ruling (plays the part of the jury).
Fuck that bug-eyed wanna-be famous "judge" Sullivan. People should protest in front of his home twerking up a storm in daisy dukes like they did Ivanka Trump's home.

What is the appeal process when there’s been no original verdict of the case?

Very possible... they've spent years doing just that, so it would not be a surprise to see more of that.
It's the very core of the "Resistance" movement. They know that they cannot win without running out the clock. The clock being the 2020 presidential election.
And it's up to us to make sure that they have to deal with an 8 year clock, not a 4 year one.
yep, they are scared of Flynn becoming the next FBI Director
Not just the prosecutorial misconduct, but judicial misconduct as well.
Essentially Flynn could request the trial be moved to a different district e.g. change of venue because of obvious prejudice. There's no appeal until there's a verdict because without the verdict there's no "injury" to appeal
which districts could he request to be moved to?

If the prosecution drops the case, the judge has nothing to decide, what he's doing makes no sense at all.
Good lord that bitch is always uglier than I remembered
Evil trolls are usually pretty hideous
They do not age gracefully.
I bet she pulls off a fucking mean witch on Halloween!
Thats pretty typical of a walking corpse
haha

Doesn't really make sense if the plaintiff drops the case.
If someone they force they trial to go forward and Flynn is convicted he can appeal and the Supreme court ruled strongly against judges inviting specific people/groups to submit amicus briefs and then basing their decision on those briefs.

Are they going to have to take this to the Supreme Court just to resolve this? Holy shit.
Breaking: Hawaii Judge to co-rule with Judge Sullivan!
I heard a discussion about something. It is an appeal to a superior court when there is judicial monkey business going on and allows a quick hearing at the appellate level.
Heard Sullivan was good buddies with gun-runner Eric Holder.

Federal judges can be impeached, can't they?
Can someone figure out how to start the ball rolling on that?
You think Pelosi will impeach him?
Win big in November.

Adding to the archiving of OBAMAGATE
Fuck that bug-eyed wanna-be famous "judge" Sullivan. People should protest in front of his home twerking up a storm in daisy dukes like they did Ivanka Trump's home.
When you are so far off the reservation that RBG and Kagen aren't backing you up, you know you messed up.
Give him more rope. Let's see who else he takes to the gallows with him.
SO MUCH WINNING
Sullivan is toast.
Judge Sullivan doesn't get around much.
All this judicial nonsense/corruption along with Obama's phone call "leak" demonstrates their fear of whats coming !!!
Mueller strategy redux..... Keep tiring up individuals so they can't speak to provide missing pieces/evidence in the soft coup !!
LtG Flynn "knows where the bodies are buried !!"
