Judge In Flynn Case Invites Briefs Without Ruling On Feds' Dropped Charges

That suggests the U.S. District Court judge wants to hear from those who say they would be affected by the precedent that might be set by the Justice Department's decision not to go forward with its case about Flynn's lies to the FBI — even following Flynn's admissions and guilty plea in the matter.

Now that the government is abandoning Flynn's case, what significance does that have for the other prosecutions? Attorneys could make presentations to Sullivan about that in their amicus briefs. Trump, Barr and many Republicans have called the Flynn prosecution invalid based on subsequent revelations about the conduct of officials and investigators in the matter.

A Justice Department filing that announced the abandonment of charges argued that Flynn's guilty plea was void because the lies he told the FBI weren't material to what the brief called a"bona fide investigation." Flynn already had sought to withdraw his guilty plea in a filing to Sullivan after his relations soured with the government. Flynn and his attorneys had fought to obtain notes from FBI officials involved with his interview that, once revealed, helped shift the political environment for his case.

The Media, FBI and Justices ran cover for Obama for years. It’s all coming home to roost. Trump will easily beat Biden once all this gets traction.

Any verdict from Judge Sullivan will be contested for political bias due to his actions of soliciting amicus filings in a criminal case. He must now recuse himself from the case! Shameful!

Another crazy Leftist trying trying to circumvent the rule of law. The charade will be over soon.

This Judge seems like a 🤡. I’m guess he’s in over his head in his career and probably was appointed to right some sort of tort that was perceived by the left.

Integrity and courage are not dead. Lock him up!

And this supposedly represents a fair and impartial justice system? No. Activist judges like this man are the problem.

Good

Maybe because Flynn actually committed a crime? There will be dozens of briefs opposing lapdog Barr’s proposed dismissal of charges.

Yes!!!

Crooked Judge.

Judge Sullivan said he was disgusted by Flynn's actions... good for him!!!

So who’s gonna prosecute if not DOJ?

This hack is out of control
