The government found that its previous prosecutors withheld exculpatory evidence that they were legally bound to reveal, and then noticed that all their witnesses were not credible because all had been dismissed for lying to federal courts. So they decided to drop the case.
The judge who hates them and Trump thereupon appointed an ex judge partisan friend of his as "surrogate prosecutor extraordinaire" to "advise him" and advocate for not dismissing the case.
Flynn's attornies appealed over his head to the full appeals court and won. That full appeals court kicked it back down to Sullivan with a direct order to dismiss the case.
He refused to do so and scheduled this circus instead. In which he started alleging that Flynn's lawyers were "obstructing justice" by appealing his cockimamie decisions. So they demanded that he recuse himself for bias. He told them to go file a motion asking him to do so, so he can have more process delay.
