They did. Judge Sullivan here, who has shown in the past he's not a complete moron, has decided in a completely unprecedented move to ask for amicus briefs to be filled and has appointed a partisan retired judge to essentially continue the prosecution.
It's odd because Sullivan is one of the central figures in Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell's book liscence to lie, which is about previous malfiesence in the DOJ by none other than Mueller report author Andrew Weissman and others.
Maybe he has a deep state boot on his neck. That's what I think anytime I see "record conservative judges." It's very, very hard to get Congress to legislate, but it's very, very easy to bribe and/or extort a singular human judge.
It's an interesting thought that maybe Sullivan decided to commit such an egregious move in order to make sure it would be instantly overturned, while sending a message to the legal community that he's under a gun. "See? I did what you told me to, I kept things going, but dagnabbit, that appeals court stepped in!"

No more 4D chess bullshit. This judge is acting like a tyrant.
If Jackie Chiles were elevated to the judiciary
