Put him In Jail where he belongs

The guilty plea was made before exculpatory evidence was provided. Judge should not overlook that and demand the plea deal be upheld. Moreover, the plea deal was the product of standard DOJ coercive methods. He had no practical choice but to accept, even if he was innocent.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.

A judge wants a decision to dismiss a case argued against?

.Does this ruling hinder Flynn from getting his job back?

1/1 Legally the case and the legal action couldn't be dismissed, dropped or declined. The legal judgment, case and procedures are of public jurisdiction and is in the public interest in which the withdrawal is no legally valid since a legal procedures has all

Senate needs to draw up articles of impeachment. This is not a lawful judge.

The United States Department Of Justice is basically attempting to grant themselves pardon powers. Thank you Judge Sullivan for defending our constitution. Nobody is above the law, not even the law. Make it stop, vote 2020

I’m hard pressed to see how this was a massive deep state coup when Obama warned Trump directly, to his face, about Flynn. That’s not super secret spy work.

Obama and his devils must be put into prison! ObamaGate

Is this the right move by the judge?

Bring it to trial & see what happens

This is so many levels of wrong that I’m just speechless. What happened to our judicial system? Judges have gone crazy. Judge Sullivan will go down in history as vindictive, cruel, partisan, unethical and unhinged.

Time to take a flamethrower to this case

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT Don't go softly into the BS of the night Rage against the dying of the light.

Trump to Barr right now:

McConnell has polluted the US judiciary to the extent to that it is now necessary to appoint someone who is no longer an official member of it in order to conduct impartial proceedings.

Let me guess this Judge is one of the former 1,900 DOJ workers that called for Barr's resignation? You can't make this crap up!

What BULLLSSSHHHIIITTT

So is he starting his own Judicial Branch or what?

Judge Sullivan is playing politics and overstepping his authority.

LOL! Trump declares early victory again!

The Dums just can’t let go 😆
