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.
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.
