A federal judge asked whether President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn could be held in contempt of court for perjury. He also appointed a retired judge to look into Flynn's case and argue against the DOJ's request to dismiss it.

Sullivan also appointed a retired judge to look into Flynn's case and argue against the Department of Justice's request to dismiss it.Sullivan's latest move is an enormous flex of judicial muscle six days after the Justice Department said it wanted to drop the Flynn case, unleashing a backlash across Washington of lawyers concerned with the politicization of the Justice Department.

The Bronx-born lawyer served as a judge for 22 years and is now a partner in New York with the elite defense law firm Debevoise & Plimpton. He co-authored an op-ed in the Washington Post on Monday, in which he outlined options Sullivan still had to learn more about the case, resolve questions regarding it and how he could, after some legal inquiry, sentence Flynn. The op-ed even made the suggestion Sullivan could appoint a third-party lawyer like Gleeson.

AUSA: “We are withdrawing our Motion to Dismiss.... Ladies & Gentleman of the Jury the Def. was set up. The only reason we are here is the Judge Ordered the Govt. to move forward. Basically he hates Trump and wants to get this guy. The evidence will show the FBI & WH set him up.”
