This is beyond bullshit. Amicus Briefs are briefs. Period. They don't get witnesses, they don't get oral arguments, they get to submit written briefs. They are "friends of the court", not and I repeat ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT participants in the case.
And that is assuming that any of this was legitimate in the first place. I challenge anyone to find an example of someone being held in contempt of court for choosing to alter their plea after discovering EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE. This has never happened, for very good reason.
This judge doesn't need to be impeached, he doesn't need to be censured, or disbarred. He needs to be imprisoned for life. Barring that, he needs to be forcibly removed by patriots in DC.
This is nearly as bad as the coup. The coup plotters were trying to overthrow an elected president. This guy is trying to overturn the entirety of Article III.
I'm not a lawyer but, I assume Sidney Powell will need to take this to a higher judge or court. I know this is a federal judge but, if the Supreme Court already ruled on this then, there must be SOMETHING or all hope is lost.
Technically (almost) everyone who makes a plea deal is guilty of perjury. Part of the allocution of the guilty plea in many jurisdictions requires that the defendant state (or answer) that they are making the plea absent any deals or promises made.
It's just one of the fucked up part of our legal system.
Sydney is way ahead of that. You need to read her submission from January of this year. It is document number 160 in the docket
Don't let the 200+ page count scare you. The argument itself is only 40 or 50 pages - the rest is supporting documentation, which you can skip.
The problem that Sullivan is trying to solve is that the court record does not include enough facts for a guilty plea, and neither the prosecution nor the defense are willing to attempt to establish them. So, the extra judge is coming in, which is very irregular, and he wants to assert new facts from the bench, which is far beyond irregular and deep into "Bro, do you even judge?" territory.
Judge Sullivan used to be an outstanding, "by the book", law-abiding, well-respected Judge. IDK what happened. I was so glad he was thecJudge who replaced Contreras in the Flynn case back in 2017. He was actually the "hero" of Sidney Powell's book, "Licensed to Lie", about Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens set-up, destruction, and finally vindication. I didn't watch that closely, but around alll of a sudden, around December of 2019, Judge Sullivan flipped. He verbally attacked Sidney Powell and accused her of plagiarism, I believe, and asked the prosecutors in open Court if they had considered charging Flynn with Treason, although he retracted it afterward, but . . . anyway, something happened to this guy so his stellar prior ethical, upstanding reputation as Judge has been shattered (for many at least. I am sure some in a certain party allegedly think it is all going perfectly tho).
I just commented elsewhere here abt this, and IDK for sure, but around December, 2019, the Judge seemed to flip from upstanding Judge w/ excellent reputation, to making accusations to Flynn and his attorney for unbelievable reasons (her plagiarism, him Treason), in open court! Just a seemingly psycho turn on both of them. So he must have gotten "the word" around that time? And I doubt he was given much of a choice, so I am guessing perhaps a life and death/family member type choice, which is allegedly what happened to Chaffetz years ago. (Someone who was close to the campaign of the opponent of a Senator in Utah told me about that, & I don't think she had any reason to say it, if it wasn't true).
Because that will cause an even worse outrage. This is bait for Trump to intervene then the left will scream separation of powers, co-equal branch of government, blah blah blah blah. In this situation the isn't much that can be done in the moment. IT has to be done after the fact on appeal then action could be taken without it causing a literal shit storm of leftists throwing fecal matter.
That's probably right. It also prevents flynn from speaking publicly, and maybe from reassuming any office. I wonder if there are other benefits we are missing.
This judge is corrupt, there is no question about it. He thinks he is in the executive branch as well. Next he will say he can pass laws too. Totally mad with his own power
We need an injunction against this judge from a higher court to shut this farce down. I also hope that Flynn's attorneys SUE this judge for every last dollar he has and leave him destitute and broken.
If there is prosecutorial misconduct, they can absolutely end cases. That being said, a criminal probe is a must against the Mueller special counsel team at this point.
I said this also however I guarantee Trump saw this coming if not for certain then at least a very high probability..I'm sure there is a plan, not sure what but I assume there is.... Maby this is to help weed out the corrupt judges for the upcoming trials ?
next he will convene a jury of his choice of course..comey, rice, obama and the others will be on his jury
This "amicus" has already judged the case in an op-ed, too. Not to mention the judge randomly calling Flynn a "traitor."
Writ of mandamus when??

They were also deemed unconstitutional by a 9-0 SCOTUS 2 weeks ago.
How many men have been mistreated like Flynn that we do not know about.
Almost every court seems to operate like divorce court.
I'm not a lawyer but, I assume Sidney Powell will need to take this to a higher judge or court. I know this is a federal judge but, if the Supreme Court already ruled on this then, there must be SOMETHING or all hope is lost.
Slow drip of documents until election day.... Flynn unmasking is just the beginning.

Deep State get to him?
I agree, this is all kinds of nonsense. How long ago did they set this up?
I understand that some of the people involved were close to Mueller's team...
We really need to research the heck out of that, I'm sure there's been a backup plan here for a long time after seeing this.

To the commies .. he was a traitor to their cause ... he was going to expose the crimes committed by obama in the middle east
While they're dumping all over the system why not skip the jury and go straight to a guilty verdict?
You are under the mistaken impression that the law matters when it comes to persecuting Trump supporters.
that's the aspiration of power when just a Democrat...
It's become a circus. This judge has got to be breaking some serious rules.
And why is no one stopping him? This is crazy.
Because that will cause an even worse outrage. This is bait for Trump to intervene then the left will scream separation of powers, co-equal branch of government, blah blah blah blah.

What was that communist quote, "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime."?
Do you not see the strategy here?
Do you think they have a hope of putting Flynn behind bars?
They are drawing this out. The question is why are they drawing this out? What does resolving this later get them?
That's probably right. It also prevents flynn from speaking publicly, and maybe from reassuming any office. I wonder if there are other benefits we are missing.

The judge is a crook. The guy he appointed is too. Flynn's testimony was coerced and they have hard evidence of that fact.
Oh yeah, and SCOTUS just ruled unanimously against the use of amicus briefs about two weeks ago: https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2020/05/13/supreme-court-ruled-unanimously-last-week-against-improper-use-of-amicus-briefs-flynn/
We need an injunction against this judge from a higher court to shut this farce down. I also hope that Flynn's attorneys SUE this judge for every last dollar he has and leave him destitute and broken.
Trump will pardon Flynn.
He wont need to🙄. They're stalling. That's all this really is.
Can Flynn sue the government for infringing on his right to an expedient trial?
That could be the hope of the opposition. Then they can rag on Trump and impeach him for pardoning a traitor.
If there is prosecutorial misconduct, they can absolutely end cases. That being said, a criminal probe is a must against the Mueller special counsel team at this point.
This is it here, they will pull any delay-bullshit possible trying to run out the clock.
