Draggingtree Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The Federalist Appeals Court Order In Michael Flynn Case Bodes Well For Him, Poorly For Judge Sullivan The Department of Justice should weigh in and soon because this case is no longer just about Flynn. It is about separation of powers, the executive branch — and now, unfortunately, about Judge Sullivan. By Margot Cleveland MAY 22, 2020 Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and his legal team, led by attorney Sidney Powell, received promising news Thursday from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. In a rare move, a three-judge panel ordered Judge Emmet Sullivan, the presiding judge in the long-running criminal case against Flynn, to respond to Powell’s petition for a writ of mandamus. In that petition, Powell asked the appellate court to order Sullivan to grant the government’s motion to dismiss the criminal charge against Flynn. While Thursday’s order does not guarantee Flynn a win, the signs are hopeful. To understand why requires some lawsplaining, so let’s start with the background and then move to the procedural niceties in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
