As anticipated Judge Sullivan’s court appointed amicus, John Gleeson, a special directive prosecutor appointed by the court, files his brief today [pdf here] arguing the DOJ is attempting to corrupt the court by filing an unopposed motion to dismiss.
The amicus filing itself is based on the severe anti-Flynn sentiment carried by the Lawfare community and their allies in the DC network. Accordingly, Gleeson having presented himself as a member of this resistance effort, pontificates shallow conspiracy theories about the DOJ bending to political pressure in their decision to drop the case.
As defense attorney Sidney Powell previously shared: …”The defense and the government have agreed we will file no further briefs at all after amicus files whatever diatribe he plans to file. The only document that matters is the government’s motion to dismiss, which stands on its own and must be granted under ALL precedent. Everything amicus files is improper and should even be stricken–were the law being followed.”
It is unknown what Judge Sullivan plans to do with this amicus brief; however, the scheduled hearing for oral argument before the court is September 29th.
Here’s the full briefing:

.
Worth noting this little aspect as noted by Techno Fog:
Gleeson was assisted in this Brief by David O'Neil (same firm)
O'Neil is the lawyer for Sally Yates.
Yates is a material witness to FBI/DOJ misconduct as to Flynn (and the Carter Page FISAs).
These briefs thus serve the interests of the firm's client.

The appearance of prejudice is apparent
Which begs the question: If the amicus brief is full of innuendo and falsehoods, does that NOT make the DOJ case STRONGER for Dismissal instead of NOT dismissing…IF Sullivan DOES NOT DISMISS and ASKS FOR A 2ND TRIAL that puts Gen Flynn under Double Jeopardy which itself is illegal. Can’t try prosecute for the same crime if NO crime has been committed…AND who is going to present the prosecution in the trial? WOWZA…BEEN reading all ya’ll fine people here on the Treehouse!!! Rock On!!!!!
Jeopardy doesn’t attach until a jury has been sworn in.
Sullivan can reject government motion to dismiss and Flynn motion to withdraw guilty plea. I’m not saying that is correct as a matter of law, just that as judge, those are the sorts of rulings he makes, and he can deliberately make them incorrectly if he wants to. The check for that is “take an appeal.”
DC Circuit is out of control too, so result on appeal is by far not certain. I can point to cases where Circuit Court was contra clear SCOTUS precedent. SCOTUS had opportunity to correct, and didn;t. (right to keep and bear arms cases)
So, what you are SAYING EXACTLY…THAT THIS HAS TO GOTO APPELLATE COURT TO GIVE A RENDERED JUDGEMENT…CORRECT?
Sullivan rules guilty plea stands and case not withdrawn -> goes to Circuit Court
Sullivan rules guilty plea and case withdrawn -> it’s over. Nobody left to appeal.
I can see Sullivan doing something stupid like: rules guilty plea stands and then rules case withdrawn. Basically lets the left call Flynn “guilty” in perpetuity because a judge said so.
I can’t see Sully, or those controlling him, going to all this trouble, just to drop it, now.
I think the goal was a “manufactured October Surprise” which is one of the reasons Van Grack was endlessly postponing a case where the Defendant had already pled guilty, and Sullivan went along with it.
They want to declare Flynn guilty, with headlines, just before the election.
Don’t CARE if he is exhonerated on appeal. Its Ted Stevens case, 2.0.
This is the only logical explanation, for Sullivans behavior, IMHO.
After all, this case has ALWAYS been about POLITICS, NOT the Law.
Except that at that time the DOJ drops exonerating evidence that the deep state does not want revealed. That will be interesting.
And then, the Easter bunny will hop thru the courtroom, a basket of brightly colored eggs on one arm.
He’ll stop, take an egg (which as it turns out is raw) out of the basket, and throw it hitting Sullivan square in the face.
As likely to happen, as your scenario, IMHO.
Dutch,
Just what exactly is Lt. Gen. Flynn supposed to be declared guilty of ? There are NO charges The Court cannot charge someone with a crime. The Court has become the criminal entity in this instance.
I would not want to be in Judge Sullivan’s robe. He’s blatantly defying truth[God]. I think ‘parapipto’ is the Greek word for this behavior. That’s a one way ticket on the wrong road.
I THINK he will find Gen Flynn guilty, of the charge he pled guilty to, originally. Lieing to the FBI.
THEN, he will sentence him in October. The sentence really doesn’t matter, its that “PDJT’s Natl Security Director was found guilty, for lieing to the FBI about his contacts with Russians.” (“SEE, we,were RIGHT ALL ALONG, the Trump people WERE colluding with Russia, to steal the 2016 election, and they are DOING IT, AGAIN!)
THATS the narrative. A manufactured October Surprise.
Dutch, I don’t know what part of ‘no’ charges you do not comprehend. The Court cannot bring, add or amend charges. There is no original charge to plead to, it has been withdrawn. What came first, the charge or the plea?
Your actually attempting to predict whats going to occur in this case, based on LAW and FACTS, while Sully is busy pounding his fists on the bench?
This case has NEVER been about LAW or FACTS, and thats NOT going to change, now.
As we have seen, time and again, once the Dems have a PLAN, they STICK to it, even when its falling apart.
I THINK the plan, all long was to find Flynn guilty, and sentence him in Oct. 2020, and thats still the plan.
Sullivan will say he believes the Prosecution are withdrawing the charge due to improper political pressure, (Trump bad) and so he is finding Flynn guilty of the charge he pled to.
Media will spin it as “There goes Trump, Obstructing Justice,..AGAIN!”
Lets wait and see who’s guess is closer to the reality, in this totally unreal, twilite zone case.
There IS no case to predict the outcome of. The case has been withdrawn by the only party who can levy charges. There is no process remaining for the Court to be part of. You can argue a false premise all you want. The case has been dismissed[removed from the courts consideration]
Wow, you REALLY got a bug up, about this! I am NOT saying you are WRONG, I am talking about WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT.
Based on the point you keep repeating, we wouldn’t be commenting on this, because Sullivan, acknowledging your point, would have ended this charade, when the Prosecution filed their motion to dismiss.
But, we ARE “talking about this”, cause Sullivan didn’t, and has shown he doesn’t CARE.
HE, or his handlers, have kept this case going, for,FOUR years, JUST so they could,sentence Flynn just before the 2020 election.
And they are not going to allow,a few technicalities, like,FOLLOWING LAW AND PRECEDENT, to spoil their plan.
If simply sentencing Flynn were the goal, they could have done that, before he hired Sidney.
He had PLED guilty; he was NOT used to make the case against his business partner (which was the EXCUSE they gave, for continuations and postponements).
Again WATCH what happens,..Sept 29th.
I would bet money Sullivan will either postpone into Oct., or find guilty with Sentence in October.
You all are off. What is likely to happen is that Sullivan denies the DOJ motion to dismiss the case, he enters an order denying Flynn’s motion to withdraw his plea, Sullivan enters a judgment of guilty based on the plea and he remands Flynn right then and there. Then, per the en banc opinion, the matter is properly situated for an appeal and the circuit court sets a briefing schedule that drags out until 2021. They will deny any appeal and Flynn will have to appeal to the SCOTUS. It is 50/50 at best as to whether cert will be granted. If Trump is out of office by next January, Roberts may vote with the conservatives to overturn what would be a blatantly erroneous appellate ruling. Sullivan himself did the same kind of thing with Sen. Stevens’ improper conviction. He was ousted from office so the ruse was no longer necessary. As long as Trump is out of office, Flynn has a shot with SCOTUS to get justice because he will no longer be a threat to the Washington establishment. We are already months into a civil war. People need to wake up. The treatement of Flynn is part of the entire conflagration and Sullivan has absolutely no incentive to do justice here. I hope I am wrong but I think the odds are significantly in favor the outcome I just described.
Clearly, the parties working the “Flynn lied, and justice must be served” angle have determined that justice is what they say it is.
That’s a whole new can of worms.
“Well…good luck with that.”
I’ve run out of patience with the justice system in general, and these people in particular.
And I’ve never claimed to be a bold or original thinker.
You do what you do, and you get what you get.
Yes a citizen Star Chamber.
When all the options have run dry.
We talked about that.
This is why Vince Flynn’s book ‘Term Limits’ is one of my favorites…the “teams” that you and I dream of are used to enforce term limits on corrupt politicians. I’m TOTALLY WITH YOU.
Yessss!! Cannot tell you how many times I have read that book. When I get really angry at all of the government abuses, I read it again. The taking out of congress critters just calms me right down:)
Very first book Vince Flynn published, right? ‘Term Limits’ It was a notably raw and unfinished piece of writing. I remember thinking, “The book company couldn’t pay for an editor?” By the end of the book I thought the publisher just wanted plausible deniability; “We didn’t know what was in it. Turns out the “Not edited yet” box got switched with the “Editor read and approved for printing” box.
The protagonists in the story use direct vital actions to correct egregious errors made by persons in the federal government. I was shocked because that’s not often promoted. Also let me assure our readership that I’ve never ever ever thought I’d have to do the same thing, but you know the famous quote about studies of history; “Oh yes, 2020 and all that.”
Vince Flynn’s following books show a high skill level of novel writing.
Comment deleted by Admin…
The phrase “voting from the rooftops” comes to mind.
FrankieZee That’s the whole reason General Flynn is being kept tied up….Re: your last sentence.
BTW, they are not ex. They are inactive. There is no expiration date on the oath.
Victor Davis Hansen said something along these lines,…. until there is the same or greater amount of push back, it will continue and get worse.
Victor Davis Hanson. My apologies, Mr. Hanson.
I thought this all started because Sullivan did not rule of the Flynn motion to withdraw his plea?
THIS is a case where the circuit court is contra to clear SCOTUS precedent.
No jury is NOT needed. A “verdict” (guilty or not guilty) is needed, to attach double jeopardy. Dismissal is not a verdict but a decision not to proceed and the door is left open to for the prosecution to try again.
The judge has two choices only, either agree with dismissal of charges or move forward with the agreed upon verdict. All this amicus swirl is to provide rationale for the judges decision, noting more.
In fact, the judge would put General Flynn in the line of fire for a democrat administration to put the case before him again, if the democrats win in November. So, a dismissal is not all roses for General Flynn and the President may still be forced to go the pardon route.
The DOJ moved to dismiss with prejudice which does not allow the charges to be leveled at him again.
The same deep sh8t statists who helped the Hag, shot Seth, framed Flynn, and tried to entrap the Trumpster, are now stalling for slow Joe. “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
I don’t know much about this Mr. Gleeson but his sneering, arrogant screed is head(s) exploding. I haven’t kept up with the details of Gen. Flynn’s case lately but this document can only be explained as the product of a great deal of unregulated anger. I am astonished by it even in the current atmosphere.I have a hard time believing anyone working within our justice system would file such a thing. Whatever role Gleeson is playing in this case he is still a lawyer and ethically responsible for the truth of the claims he makes to the court. I hope Sydney Powell gets an opportunity to call him to the witness stand for questioning. Given the smears of ‘lying” and ‘perjury’ he made against Gen. Flynn it is only fair his counsel be permitted to question Gleeson regarding those allegations and as well as the genesis of his omniscient knowledge of the case.
There was never a first trial.
Flynn pulled his plea before sentencing was handed down….as he was permitted to do.
There was never a first trial.
There was never any trial.
Flynn filed a motion to withdraw guilty plea Jan 14 2020
https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592.151.0_2.pdf
But pulled that motion as moot because the DOJ filed Motion to Dismiss on May 7 2020
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6234142/199/united-states-v-flynn/
How could he ask for a trial if there the “prosecutor” sits with the defense?
WTH is this? France? Guatemala? The Soviet Union?
Do they eat plenty of bananas at Sullivan’s Court?
What if the amici lies to the Court? Barr should look for any unsupported claim in the Amicus brief and charge Gleeson with perjury.
“Appearance?” You are being kind.
To me this sounds like Sullivan wants to know the real reason for the doj dismissing the case. ie prosecutorial misconduct in not providing brady materiel to the defense. I realize that Gleeson is a lawfare enemy but wouldn’t we here at the Treehouse all like to see every piece of evidence proving Van Grack’s criminality.
Barr should file a new brief showing every bit of prosecutorial misconduct by Van Grack his team. Let the court and the whole country see how corrupt they are.
You can say that again
No, not Van Grack filed but what the Weisman team filed. He was just the flunky to put a notch in his belt.
Barr should file a new brief showing every bit of prosecutorial misconduct by Van Grack his team. Let the court and the whole country see how corrupt they are.
Barr should file a new brief showing every bit of prosecutorial misconduct by Van Grack his team. Let the court and the whole country see how corrupt they are.
Maybe that information is being used to prepare a case against the Mueller team thus is not being produced. Let’s see.
Got a great deal, on buying SHARES in this bridge,….the Brooklyn Bridge!
BARR is doing exactly what Mitch hired him to do, Durham is,doing what Barr hired him to do, and Attenburg is doing exactly what Durham hired him to do.
And, “getting to the bottom of it”, which would lead right back to Mitch and Paul, as being intricately involved in the Mueller Insurance plan, FROM THE EARLY, PLANNING STAGES, is definetly NOT what they were hired to do.
JUST the opposite. They are to CONCEAL, and “paper over” Republicon Congressional Leaderships fundamental, formative role which includes shielding the,active “small group”, who, if they faced long prison sentences, would name names.
So, NO there is no holding back of anything to prepare case against Mueller.
Santa don’t exist, neither do Unicorns, and HOPE is NOT a Strategy!
hahaha. the trouble is that it doesn’t seem to matter to anyone except the white hats and they know already.
Sorry. Hit the button too many times.
The irrefutable existence of prejudice is screamingly obvious!
Sullivan would be a joke, if he were not empowered to persecute the innocent Gen. Flynn. The guy apparently cannot even write a legal brief, and he’s a judge. How nauseatingly incompetent and political the DOJ and judicial system has become!
Kangaroo Court!
Estamos en acuerdo! Beinvenido a Venezuela!
Genau!
As the book of Genesis ends, chapter 50:19 we find Joseph, betrayed by his eleven brothers, in slavery for years in Egypt, but miraculously ends up as a senior advisor to the Pharaoh. When re-introduced to his brothers he said, “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.“. While Judge Sullivan means this three year ordeal that General Flynn for evil….I’ve got to believe that the truth is on Flynn’s side and that in the end, God will make it turn out good.
There’s always hope.
HOPE is NOT a Strategy.
Nor is it a TACTIC.
Beyond a certain point, when you see too much with “your own lieing eyes” to proceed any farther with “Hope” is to take up residence in a houseboat, on that river in egypt, De Nile!
Don’t get me wrong, I am optimistic,about the future, and PDJT.
But, I hold no foolish, IMHO delusions regarding Barr, Durham or Attenburg doing anything before or after the election, they were hired to CLEAN,…
NOT Houseclean.
LOL@DE NILE. I do have to admit I did not see that coming.
As to HOPE, we must always cling to HOPE. Without it, we as the human race would definately not be where we are today! Tell me, do you think that the men, women, & children that boarded the Mayflower(my ancestors), would ever have done so without HOPE of reaching their destination? What about the 1st settlers that headed west to start new settlements? All the inventors that have given us all the things we have today that make our lives easier & more enjoyable, do you think they started working on those inventions without HOPE & a dream? What about the Wright brothers and their 1st flying machine? I KNOW they HAD to have H.O.P.E!!!
We all need it. Yes, in this case they may need more than just hope they need PRAYER as well. I believe the actual law is already on their side, even if the unlawful judge is not.
God bless you friend.
And God bless you, as well. It is NOT that I am without hope, or optimism.
Your ancestors had SOME reason to believe they might actually complete the voyage.
Small, wooden sailing vessels DID regularly complete long voyages, after all.
If they had arrived at the dock to board the ship, only to find it had sunk in shallow water, and had said “Well, we still have HOPE!” and so had jumped into the water, dwum down to the ship and settled in their berths for the journey,…THATS what continueing to have HOPE in Barr is like.
America is once again at an “Apollo 13 moment”; will it be “our finest hour”, or an utter failure.
My bet is on PDJT and America, and more broadly on the forces of light over darkness.
I just think Barr is playing for the other side.
Its Faith, rather than HOPE, and putting FAITH in man is asking to be bitterly disappointed, whereas FAITH in God is ALWAYS a sound investment.
Just my opinion,..
Joseph wasn’t just and “advisor” tp Pharaoh, he was his right-hand man and represented the second most powerful man in the world at the time. He is the salvation of God’s chosen people with God’s grace by his decision made using Pharaoh’s dream.
Even better! His brothers meant it for evil, yet God meant it for good!
Put your seatbelts on and tighten them up. It’s going to be a hoot of ride until the election. Watching the leftists completely loose their shit is awesome to watch.
Reminds me of….Kinda like walking into an ambush at night no less, and hearing, “we are in a mind field”…This is where this is going!!!!!!!! The BOWELS might just be a-tighten about right now!!!!!!! I’ve had 2 sprites/VERY fine rum…Mt Gay Rum 1703!!!!! Carry On!!!!
7 Robles from Venezuela is aged in oak for seven years. Pretty good stuff.
There is nothing better than waking up in the morning to the smell of”Leftards”heads exploading.
Although exciting, it is also a very dangerous time to be alive as the success of the US political system, the Republic and the free World hangs in the balance of events leading up to and the election itself. POTUS and his Family must be safeguarded at all costs. This is (spiritual) warfare and hinges on one person.
Speaking of spiritual warfare, just what do you think will happen with this whole situation & the elections if Jesus comes for His Church 1st?
…when He returns He will call His own from this World. I have to believe that is today and live like it. The rest is only fluff.
It’s going to be a megahoot AFTER the election – that’s when they’ll start flinging it.
The election will NOT be our VE Day, as in Victory in Europe.
Election day will be our D-Day, the invasion of Normandy, where 10,000 lives,were lost in ONE day, and from there on it,was a HARD, TOUGH slog to Berlin.
Do NOT emotionally ‘set yourself up’that Nov 3 is “it”; just the beginning of the hardest fight many of us have ever experienced.
So, don’t think like that, instead YES, gird your loins, buckle up, brace yourself and PREPARE for a long slog.
IMHO, as usual.
Amen Dutchman….. IMHO if Biden looses all hell will break out…
we have some great sheriffs here in Fla.. I plan to contact them to offer help when the time comes. Back the Blue.. we know who is with us. They will have organization and communication. There will be plenty of things to do at a local level.. intelegence.. surveylance.. knowledge of local roads etc.
My suggestion.. stock up on necessities.. food.. water.. alternative cooking method etc.
Take a hard look.treepers…. what is AntiFa/BLM doing..their phrase. If we don’t get what we want..burn it down..they are throwing Molotov cocktails..that’s not peacefull. . there are hundreds of fires ..on the west coast They stop at Canada and Mexico.. that’s not a miracle…. the violence will probably get worse..
Over the past few moths AntiFa/BLM/Democrat employees have blocked interstate highways..do I think they might try to stop trucking commerce that supply food to the country yes.. this is not a game AntiFa/BLM are playing..it’s for all the marbles..
No need to talk about violence.. or retribution.. right now we are in the calm before the storm.. get prepared…get prepared..stay safe watch your six MAGA
A great alternate cooking source is a rocket stove. These are super simple to build, extremely inexpensive, take little fuel to cook with(small branches, leaves, etc), and you can easily find plans to build them on Pinterest.
God bless!
Be wily, adaptable, mobile.
Prey for best, while prepping for worst….
That’s just the beginning. Why would the Commie-Dems run such weak/DISLIKED candidates? They want war, they want an excuse to ramp up the violence, to destroy the Republic. Either way, the election will be the beginning of the end.I am starting to suspect US intel (FBI/CIA/NSA) are actually helping choreograph these Antifa-BLM terror attacks. There seems to be no effort to charge the financers and organizers of these attacks.
The dems intend to use every trick in the book and more besides, to steal victory from PDJT. But if for any reason, they finally fail to defeat PDJT, then the dems can blame their candidates for the loss. The dems can say, “If only biden hadn’t so obviously lost his mind, and if only kamala had not been so obviously evil …..”
If Flynn and DOJ file nothing, can the corrupt Sullivan use that as an excuse to say the Amicus brief is unopposed and therefore granted?
Good. Let him enforce it. Is he going to ask the DOJ to incarcerate itself or the defense team?
Anything seems possible with regard to Sullivan.
No lawyer here so I’m not sure what he can grant. It seems to me that just because you filed an amicus brief it doesn’t give you the authority to act as prosecutor. Scheisse stick sullivan lacks that authority too.
Sullivan will be remembered for this and likely nothing more.
Amicus filed June 11. Rebuttal to that was filed by government and Flynn already. This is amicus chance to “reply” to his opponent. Flynn and government could come back, but they already had there say here as well as in Circuit court.
Both sides are fully aired. Sullivan has hearing Sept 29. No deadline to resolve the dispute, but the only way he drags it out WITH a decision, is to rule against Flynn.
Thanks!
The judge has to look at all previous arguments by Flynn and DOJ motions to dismiss. There is also A LOT of recent precedence that says it .hey be dismissed. Further, the en blanc did not support continuing the case. They only ruled for Sullivan to continue with amicus.
This certainly sounds like something Sullivan would do and then most likely proceed immediately to sentencing.
NO (IMHO) he will find guilty, and delay sentencing, to OCTOBER, as in “Surprise!”
I think thats why they delayed it all this time, and was their plan from the start.
Ted Stevens case, 2.0.
THATS why Van Grack kept delaying sentencing, when he HAD a guilty plea!
He kept asking for delays, Flynns attorneys kept agreeing, and Sullivan let it drag on.
So, in October they can have a headline;
PDJT’s Natl Security advisor found GUILTY of lieing to the FBI!
They don’t CARE if it gets overturned on appeal, AFTER Nov election.
Since the Lt. Gen. already pled guilty, did the Judge approve the request to change his plea? Has this reverted back to that time and place, where having pled guilty, changed lawyers, new lawyer has client change plea before sentencing, then the prosecution moves to end the case, now this sitting Judge brings in his friend to make an end-run around the prosecutor’s move to end the case/controversy, the appeals court, noting the sitting Judge had not ruled on the request to change the plea to not guilty uses the governments new motion to end the prosecution as a distraction, a time diversion, and when the sitting Judge gets his appeals court buddies to give him time to play, now comes back with the option to simply ignore the government’s new position and simply decide to say the defendant cannot change his plea so the sitting Judge decides to sentence the Lt.Gen, and let the DOJ and Defense lawyers take it to the next level to clean up this perfect mess, thus buying more time to screw wit the Lt.Gen, his family and the lawyers not only for the defense but mess with the entire DOJ too, the perfect definition of lawfare in this day and age of corruption?
The brief is an advisory opinion. The whole point of this exercise – kicking the case back to Sullivan – is to drag an opinion out of him; he should have granted the motion to dismiss but frivolously chose not to. Whatever he decides will determine what Sidney does next. The whole thing is outrageous and the need formal action against Sullivan is shatteringly obvious.
The decision is not whether the Amicus brief is granted.
The decision is only on the Motion to Dismiss.
Sulllivan rejects Motion and then schedules sentencing.
OR
Sullivan orders an “inquiry” before deciding
Either way
DOJ files their own Writ of Mandamus
OR
Let’s Sullivan pronounce sentence and Flynn then appeals
“ arguing the DOJ is attempting to corrupt the court by filing an unopposed motion to dismiss.”
What the heck does this even mean? Yes the prosecution dropped the case. The defense agreed. If it’s not an opposed motion then why hasn’t it been granted? Doesn’t make any sense to me.
The prosecution dropped the case, they gave a legitimate reason. Whatever this Gleeson dude’s conspiracy theory is is irrelevant.
Uhh….. Are DOJ prosecutors’ motions to dismiss charges against defendants normally opposed by defense counsels???
da!
Sullivan is a buffoon and embarrassing the judicial branch of the federal government. Banana republics couldn’t be more envious.
Or….he is smart giving multiple opportunities for AG Barr and Team Flynn to bring out corrupt and criminal activities by Obama’s FBI and Administration! Had he not reached this case out, think of all the documents, corruption and other b.s. we would have never seen. Still, Sullivan is either the best actor ever….or a putz.
Buffoonary and being an embarrassment to the judiciary holds second place to being a HERO to the Deep State.
Poor General Flynn…I cannot even imagine what this man and his family have gone through for the past three+ years! I certainly hope that once his long national nightmare is over he unleashes the hounds of Hell against those who did this to him!!
The man is a warrior. This is his finest hour to be in the battle, courageous always.
Each step show us more and more of the corruption of the judiciary.
More and more is reveled – the cancer is laid bare.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY Gen. Flynn is doing this…DON’T FORGET…the FEDERAL Judiciary has been compromised for the last 30 yrs that I can remember. And it started with the Nixon Administration…Clinton made a mockery of it when he stated: “what is the meaning of ‘is’? ” That’s when I knew we were in some deeep kempchi!!!!!!
Eagle Driver, God darn! You hit the root canal with an axe!! Even a six year old knows the meaning of is…..but not our judicial system? That was the end of any belief system I had with the Feds.
Spoken like a true Osan Eagle kicker… Greetings from A-220 at Camp Casey.
Our present state is very, very, shaky … Until we manage to get 2 more seated on The Supreme Court….we be neck deep in the honey bucket jar…
We may just have to take us a little ride…. SHOTGUN….
Oath of Commissioned Officers
“I, General Michael Flynn, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;…”
Gen. Flynn is being impressed with what that oath means to the word.
AS MOST of the MILITARY, BOT OFFICER AND ENLISTED…we take that oath EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY…Make no mistake about that…
Exactly!!!!! I’m an old Tomcat driver and I’m still ready to rock and roll…just say the word…in my day, it was, ANYTIME BABY!
I drove an M14…..before glasses, hearing aides, arthritis and white hair!
Maybe that’s why you have glasses, hearing aides, arthritis and white hair!
ouch
HEY your kinda like me…have NO hair, wear hearing aids and glasses…I drive an AR-10 with Hensholt scope!!!!!
My days of holding anything heavier or more complicated to operate than a six-pack of long necks are OVAH!

Maybe a Tomcat 2.0?
NorthropGrumman are said to be in the running…
Glad you screamed “MOST” Eagle. For some reason things seem to get a little fuzzy after 06. See Smedley!
People need to realize that the most dangerous enemies we have these days are of the “domestic” type.
For Treepers who have not served.in the military or police … the hardest job is to not pull the trigger… when split seconds count…when you don’t know who the enemy is,…. try to keep your head and stay calm.. it’s what police face every day… never know when a domestic pulls a gun …and with today’s Antifa/BLM it’s worse then ever..
There is also NO expiration date on the induction oath. They call us “veterans” for a reason, 🙂
And he is showing us how to fight the long hard slogs against a nebulous enemy.
He is showing me how to persevere. To walk towards the fire. Perhaps to even acquaint us far removed from the founding Patriots what they really signed up for with the words, “We pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our Sacred honor”…
Up a little ways a comparison was made with the Old Testament Joseph. As I understand the account, he was kind of a bratty little brother…years later, in captivity, he still lived by God’s moral code. Told off his bosses wife after she directly seduces him and gets thrown in prison for doing the right thing.. So I think it’s a good comparison. A good account of how to endure when there just is no good answer for the Why?
God can and will allow evil to benefit his church..
My prayers and $$ have /are sent on his behalf.

This move is for narrative support purposes. It is basically an anti-Triump, Barr is a toadie brief.
It argues that Sullivan can reject the government motion to dismiss and gives the reasons for that move.
Sullivan can follow this advice if he wants. No issue for him. It furthers the mission of raising tension, and the Circuit Court gets put on the spot.
I figure there is calculation on best move and best timing. Do not want to energize Trump support.
The circuit court did not want to be put on the spot; that is why they rejected mandamus and kicked the case back to Sullivan, using the fact that he hadn’t made a decision as their excuse. Their hint was not subtle: Both law and precedent screams DISMISS! If Sullivan fails to do so and decides to continue to trial no doubt Sidney will either hit the circuit court for mandamus again (they will NOT be pleased) or put both courts on the naughty list and appeal directly to SCOTUS. It can only end well for Sullivan if he dismisses the case.
Prayers for Flynn, his family, his legal team and America. We suffer from a lack of faith in the justice system.
Why so many instances of resisting arrest? “There’s no way I’ll get a fair trial, so what do I have to lose by resisting?”
We’re also going to see a number of lawsuits due to the feeble prosecutors who are selectively choosing which assault, robbery, arson, etc., to pursue. “Why am I in trouble for beating on my wife? All these ‘protesters,’ beat on the cops every night and you let them go.'” We the people will get to pay for these losses, as usual.
There are way too many instances of separate justice.
This demonstrates the corruption that has been rampant within the judiciary for decades. There are no restraints nor accountability for the judicial rogue elephants. Time for some frontier justice. At least they understood the concept of justice.
I keep asking myself if the public were to be polled on their knowledge of this entire saga, what percent could even claim a passing grade?
I ask folks wearing MAGA gear if they have heard of Sydney Powell. The answer is usually “No,” which means… people are voting MAGA w/o knowledge of this particular outrage.
THAT’s bullet proof voters…they just want what PT will give us for four years. A very big PLUS for our side.
The outrage though is REQUIRED to move Barr and the spineless GOP to keep pressure on and stop giving this aholes a pass.
I ask people who claim Trump-Russia collusion is real if they know the acronym “FOIA”. They never do.
So I tell them that’s roughly like I claim I know the history of the US civil rights movement, and you ask my opinion of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and I say “Who?”.
Don’t worry about MAGA folks not recognizing Sydney Powell. I have close family members who are super pro-Trump but can’t put the SpyGate Case together at all. And I literally need a SPREADSHEET to follow it, entering each fact and article as they appear. There is no other way I could follow it, and I have even caught “experts” like Dan Bongino making errors from time to time. Usually the family asks me if something is “legit” before they even bother to read it and/or wait for me to send them the important articles and videos.
I am hoping that Sundance eventually writes a book about all of this, not necessarily for profits, but as an authoritative document meant for posterity. And there is no way the government will ever do this and it will all be lost to history.
To Kill a Mockingbird was a story of horrible injustice–but there are stories like that all over the world. What made the book (and later the movie adaption) so compelling was the story-line and the humanity of the various characters. We identified with and recognized the characters.
The Enemedia will NEVER cover the Flynn injustice because they are active (and aggressive) participants in the injustice, but my hope is that someday, a writer(s) will use the story of this injustice to indict the left, the DC establishment, the federal judiciary, the DOJ, the FBI and the Democrat Party (and all its enablers).
gtrich09,
Would this be graded on a curve? ?? Just Asking?
Would expect 5% to be 85% or better
10 % maybe 50%
The rest good luck.
Problem, that there are so many concurrent crisises. People can only process so much information. Running on adrenaline continually, the body’s fight or flight response becomes impaired.
I do have the time to soak up a lot of information such as from CTH. Most people only have exposure from network news TV. I occasionally post some enlightenment on Facebook but don’t think many read my posts. I have never had my comments “go viral.”
This case alone totally condemns the DOJ and most lawyers.
I have a huge crush on Sydney Powell, however.
Me too….your post, not the movement! Smart, abundance of common sense and an honest person….makes her drop, dead gorgeous! Remember, beauty is skin deep while ugly always goes clear to the bone.
Anyone have any pictures of her when she was in her twenties?
I got some of obama’s mother.
Well, you just ruined my appetite…………..
Perhaps an arrest warrant for Judge Sullivan might jar him to his senses. What’s going on seems like a criminal conspiracy to deny Michael Flynn his constitutional rights. I have no idea if this is possible, but the record to support an arrest is right there in public.
It’s not possible. Judges have absolute immunity for official acts.
cboldt: Would this absolute immunity include acts of treason / treachery?
There is no way a judge can commit treason with an official act. He’s ruling on a case the government (executive) brought to him.
Understood the government has signalled it does not have a case, but courts are an independent power (what exact power is the nub of one debate in this case), and are known to act out of bounds.
Heck, courts have ruled/hallucinated abortion and homo marriage into the constituion. Not an institution that I am going to trust to have a smidgen of integrity. These are dangerous crack pots, lunatics.
But none of that is treason. It’s just run of the mill immoral, illegitimate government.
By definition then, Flynn et al have a duty, a right, an obligation, to resist and to fight illegitimacy and immorality. One obvious way to do that is to withdraw from the continuing nightmarish fraud created by Sullivan and the DC judges. Sydney Powell notifies the court and she and General Flynn stop playing a rigged game.
hmm. In theory Durham is chasing a conspiracy case? Seems to me simple obstruction / perjury committed by a judge in such a case IS criminally exposed. No lawyer here, but sure seems the 18-USC-1001 would apply to judges who are part of the judicial branch. I’m looking for technically, not what is likely.
https://www.lawlessamerica.com/images/stories/legal/statutes/18-USC-1001.pdf
I think the “arrest warrant” was meant as more of a citizen justice / vigilante type “warrant”. Granted, the U.S. Marshal’s Service would not approve, but unfortunately, they (and all the other federal LEOs) have become willing enablers of government tyranny and oppression.
He can be officially censured although I’m not sure if he can be removed unless convicted in an impeachment
Pressure from the president? Huh? So the official predicate was false and non-material is not a reason to drop the case? That will be interesting to defend.
I believe that this is just a stall tactic. So how is Sullivan going to sentence Flynn if the plaintiff (USG) refuses to prosecute? He would definitely be overturned on appeal. Quickly. So in the end, he will huff and puff, say scathing words and dismiss after November 3rd. The last thing the deep state wants is discovery no matter who wins.
I would not bet on DC Circuit not upholding a conviction notwithstanding withdrawal of the charge.
It would be unprecedented, but judges get the biggest charge out of making new law.
This would net more power for the judiciary, and likely would be used only in cases brought for political purposes, not run of the mill cases.
They don’t pull this sort of stunt on the public, directly. Banana republics are known by shenanigans between political figures, courts, and armies. The public is mere spectator.
Good point. We ARE a banana republic now–we just have a better standard of living…..for the moment.
If that is the case where the Judiciary branch can try and convict a person then it is going to be a very sad day for the constitution. But then the Executive and Congress can start putting it’s rules on the Judiciary like, oh lets say trials have to be done in three months. That judges have to go through a Justice Department review of rulings versus prior cases. Or Congress can force judges to go through the reasoning they come through their ruling BEFORE they take effect in open hearings.
If told that then will be the new normal, I believe that Roberts and the DC Appeals Court will quickly intercede on the matter. Sullivan is boxed in my opinion. Let’s see how it plays out.
@ cboldt: “Still, that was the environment we faced here. Rarely did anyone die, rarely did the public even know. The mob and the government and the CEOs played their games, and everyone else was mostly happy. They’d see something in the news occasionally, and not realize that years of politics and deception went into that occasion.”
Michael Z. Williamson, “The Rogue”
So we know that the DOJ (Barr) has opted to drop the case against Gen Flynn because there WAS exculpatory, hard evidence being withheld by “people” that USA Jensen found.
So, I get why Barr is dropping the case against Gen Flynn but what I don’t get, if there is truly one system of justice and the DOJ KNOWS the people who withheld exculpatory evidence, then why has Barr not indicted those people or at least referred them before the bar association?
Is withholding exculpatory evidence not a crime? Or is it like jay walking and happens all the time so no harm no foul? Or is it possibly because the people involved are DOJ and the rules are different for them?
So, while Gen Flynn continues to suffer, those that knowingly withheld exculpatory evidence just walk away scott free??
This IMO is a microcosm example why Americans don’t trust the DOJ AND don’t trust AG Barr.
Why are these people not paying any price or penalty? Their actions have HARMED Gen. Flynn and his family and yet NO ACTION BY THE DOJ ON these perpetrators.
Bogeyfree, I agree with EVERYTHING that you have ever posted. That being said, my internal prayer/hope is that THEY KNOW and it is sooooo big/massive that they will ALL go down in a MAJOR round up and it will be more than just indictments. Forgive me for my internal hope but that is what fuels me during these unprecedented times. If I am wrong so be it, but I need HOPE!
Like ?
Withholding exculpatory evidence is not a crime. The “worst case” remedy is case dismissed.
Prosecutors have near absolute immunity. Nifong, for example, got one day in jail for criminal contempt for lying to the judge.
If it is intentional. It is a crime. Deprivation of rights under the color of the law.
Nifong also lost his license before the state bar IIFC because his abuse of power was so extreme. How are DoJ and Sully any different here? Meritless case carried on incessantly.
What’s more, Bogeyfree, in moving to dismiss, DOJ only did a partial hangout on the Brady material that had been withheld. Enough, no doubt, for Barr and most lawyers and judges to justify dismissal. The Kislyak call, Pientka’s August assessment of Flynn the potential target, the FBI notes, the Susan Rice CYA email, were all part of a much larger insurance policy plan. I assumed, when I read the DOJ Motion to dismiss, that they disclosed enough, but withheld everything else that was evidence in still-secret grand jury proceedings addressing the rest of the crew, and the rest of their misbehavior.
I think it would be worthwhile to create a matrix of known evidence and events surrounding which there must be physical evidence that tended to exculpate Flynn, but that wasn’t produced as part of the motion. That would identify what is either still to come out in the Bug Ugly, or more likely, the scope of Barr’s unconscionable cover-up. A measure of DOJ’s performance through this historic time.
May Barr aspire to measure up to the level set by the President and his Middle East negotiation team.
The Big Ugly has now become a figment of our imagination.
The original 302 has not and never will see the light of day. Where is Joseph Pientka. He’s like everywhere in all this corruption right along with Strozk. Then again he’s like a wraith. Everybody knows about him but nobody knows him.
Barr is trying to split the baby by preventing the Ruling Class from running roughshod over Trump and We the People, but also preventing their criminality from being revealed and prosecuted.
This ^^^. The whole mess explained in one sentence.
I am convinced that AG Barr’s first priority is to protect the image of the institutions. With any devoted bureaucrat or politician, preservation of the status quo is priority one. But the quo has lost it’s status, and everyone knows it – rewarding bad behavior begets worse behavior. If he had the integrity and fortitude to match his reputation he would know that the only solution at this point is to burn the house down and rebuild from the cellar hole. It remains to be seen if he will.
Congressman Devin Nunes, is another example of a persevering Patriot…
“These are all a bunch of dirty cops and I’ll tell you,” he told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer on the latest “Hemmer Time” podcast. “We’re going to go down in a spiral in this country because you will not have a Republican that will trust the FBI or the Department of Justice for generations to come.”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/devin-nunes-jail-dirty-cops-republicans-doj
As I see it, this distrust in and of what should be some of our best examples of Law and Order agencies, shows up across our Nation as, “Fiery but mostly peaceful protests…”
Going down quite a spiral, it does appear..
Drag it out as long as they can. Dismissal on 4 Nov.
Sullivan & Gleasson = Judicial arsonist.
So the Durham investigation is starting to leak. Nora Dannehy resigns citing pressure from Barr.
Hmmmmmmmmm, just like the Mueller investigation when Barr looked at the case file and he shut it down maybe he asked some uncomfortable questions that they didn’t want to answer.
Due to Sundance, no less! It’s happening treeper’s.
Wasn’t she the”Go To”girl for Durham?She allegedly came out of retirement to help him?
That reason is based on a source quoted by the Hartford Courant, poor source. Maybe it is true or not. She is a life long Dem. Does she have much prosecutor court experience, from what I recall she mostly sat behind her desk and directed others to do the work, when she was the US attorney. So maybe her skills may no longer be needed, and she may want to get to a more lucrative job, and hold open the possibility to become a Democrat Federal Judge like here dad.
Dannehy, at this point I time close to the election, has to be considered a Dparty operative out to hurt Barr and Trump. More red meat for the propagandists.
According to the Washington Examiner, Barr stated that Durham’s investigation would adhere to DOJ standards. THERE’S a frightening thought.
Do you have a link or source for your statement where she cited the reason? – “Nora Dannehy resigns citing pressure from Barr.”
And then Sullivan plays his game on Sep 29 and then drags it out … hopefully he’ll rule quickly (of course, against Flynn) so that Sidney and DOJ can jointly file with SCOTUS for an emergency Writ of Mandamus for immediate relief … and getting a 9-0 favorable ruling ripping Sullivan to shreds.
Getting an original emergency writ of mandamus from S. Ct. after September 29 would almost be impossible. By agreeing to the stipulation (apparently somewhat favorable to Sidney) Flynn waived S. Ct Cert review (where he could have also asked for emergeny mandamus. I believe that going directly to the S.ct was what Sidney wanted to do in her heart of hearts, but she didn’t have the resources. Sidney could still go back for a second mandamus in DC circuit judge Sullivan misbehaves. However, I doubt there would be six votes or another 2 out of 3 panel.
My guess is there will be delay until after Nov. 3.
There is a slight and equal chance between the judge completely misbehaving and punishing Flynn or the judge dismissing with prejudice after wring a nasty face saving opinion.

Hate to break it to him, but the court can’t be any more corrupt than Sullivan has made it.
I’m not a lawyer.
The rogue prosecuter (Sullivan) formerly Judge Sullivan should be removed from both his positions.
He’d have to be impeached. The only other option is to return to the one that the founders understood and provided for impeachment so as to prevent it. Not recommended.
Looks like Sullivan, Gleason,O’Neil,Yates are all in on this corruption. Start checking all text and phone messages of these corrupt officials. These officials need to remember they all work for us and not Obama. They need to be chided for their actions. Being a lawyer or judge doesn’t give you immunity for subversion.
I’d throw Wray in on the list. Guilt by association:
ie him and Yates both being King and Spalding alumni.
I’ve waited to see if anything happens to change my
opinion of said firm and it’s actions. So far, nothing in
that regard, and I’ve been watching from the sidelines
since roughly 1994.
Why: my guess is that the 85% of illegal and unconstitutional wiretaps by Spygate contractors got some very serious dirt on Sullivan and the rest….perhaps even SCOTUS justices and certainly members of Congress. They probably sold it to Hillary from money she collected with her foundation and all the cash received from foreign governments involved in pay for play.
MAKE SIDNEY POWELL THE WH JUSTICE CZAR NOW with full authority to declassify all documents and to work daily with Durham and the other US Attorneys involved in this case.
The judge will hold his hearing with oral arguments, then either sit with his thumb up his butt for a month doing nothing or, more likely, find some excuse for FURTHER hearings. This is so out in the far reaches of the legal galaxy I would not put it past him to manufacture a pretext for fact-finding and discovery, complete with a discovery schedule. He’s gone around the bend, down the river, and 500 miles out into the ocean on this. Welcome to the Twilight Zone. And you thought you lived in America. This is what it looks like when a judge goes rogue.
Amen – and “the system” goes out of its way to pretend this is not abnormal. DC Circuit is protecting him.
On reflection, perhaps this sort of thing is not abnormal, we just don’t get to see it.
Just saying, Sullivan is not some lone wolf nut. I think a majority of the federal judges are sympathetic and cheering his actions.
The Judicial Branch is taking a knee for Sullivan because you know…
“I think a majority of the federal judges are sympathetic and cheering his actions.”
Hence, the reason I believe our federal government is our enemy. We are captives of tyrants and oligarchs.
This is what happens when the whole Federal Judiciary goes rogue
Indeed, it has.
When the demo-rats bring truckloads of fake mail-in ballots Sullivan will appoint himself judge over the counting.
Then declare that he is the next President.
Yes, I’m being absurd – because to call Sullivan a judge is absurd. This is sedition and rebellion by unique and cunning schemes.
At least Benedict Arnold had enough “honor” to physically cross over to the opponents and put on the enemy uniform.
Right?!! Lawfare=unique & cunning schemes to subvert the law by any means necessary to gain control over the Republic and reimagine it into the utopia where they rule, making big fat salaries in order to afford themselves all of hell’s guilty pleasures, while they pull the marionette strings of the world’s affairs.
I mean seriously, no normal person craves power like these people do. They make me sick!
#NarcissisticPsychopaths
What if Sullivan decides to hold a trial and no one shows up?
The trial is over. Flynn plead guilty the trial is over. This is whether he can withdraw his plead and whether the DOJ withdraw the charges at this stage.
At this stage that is what he will rule. The chances are he will sentence the General.
Then Powell will appeal the DOJ will not oppose and in that forum the Judge will have no say.
There was no trial. There was a plea…but it was pulled, as allowed, before sentencing.
It is only allowed if the Judge grants the motion to withdraw. This discretion is solely in the Judges purview. You do not have a right to withdraw and are cautioned that when pleading guilty.
The kicker is the DOJ has sole discretion on withdrawing a complaint.
It is purely an executive branch discretion.
In the real world this would have already been dismissed.
We need a declass dumpster fire this weekend. With the kitchen too hot for Dannahy, there may be some sludge moving around.
It sounds as though Dannahy was part of the slow-walkers.
WSB??
?
I think she resigned as a catalyst for the media/DNC narrative that anything out of Durham is just a political hit job, with Barr being Trump’s puppet. But the DOJ prosecutes CRIMES, not PEOPLE. Stalin is the one who famously said, show me the man, I’ll tell you the crime.
Yup, she’s taking one for the team.
No doubt she already was promised a lucrative position in some DemonRAT / Leftwing / Progressive organization.
Those positions would not pay her enough. She can get much more elsewhere. i would not doubt that she would like to be a Federal Judge like her dad, though.
Not Stalin, but Lavrentiy Beria (he ‘worked’ for Stalin). Maybe one of flew people that were worst then Stalin. I once read a little about him, and had to stop it as he was real bad.
Disagree, Stalin was much worse. Much worse. He ALLOWED evil people like Beria to do the nefarious deeds they did. He gave them cover. So he with Lenin, Trotsky Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Maduro, Idi Amin and other totalitarian leaders to perpetuate the myth of socialist justice.
worst bolshevik beautie after TROTSKY……
Same sentiments.
Seems like all this is gossip and speculation in the absence of facts. Isn’t it possible that the investigation is over and winding down and she’s no longer needed? When signing on she was told the job would take six months to a year, and its been 18 months and counting, so it could also be a case of family commitments. Or not. Who knows?
Yes, with doubt. Her background, though, leads me to believe otherwise. Nothing is a coincidence, IMHO.
Wait 2 months, pardon him, hire him let heads roll and explode. I would like to see this work out through the legal process but there are two many political judges that need the Mitch Rapp applied to them.
I’m sorry, but I just have to believe that whatever the #resistance has on Sullivan is enough to ruin his life forever. That’s how the mob plays the game. Everyone is compromised, so control can be exerted when the time comes. I do pray that the shadow government meets God Almighty and that there is a reckoning – a reckoning so severe that it can’t be mistaken for anything other than an Act of God. I’d certainly distance myself (here’s looking at you RINO’s) from the #resistance.
Sullivan is doing his duty to Obama and Holder and the rest of the Critical Race Theory Hustlers. Oh, I’m sure they have dirt on him, terrible dirt on his son and himself, but in the end they don’t have to say word about it to him. It’s implicit, and he knows he’s sacrificing himself to be down for the Cause. Probably happy to do it.
You assume that Sullivan is compromised by some type of blackmail when the reality is that he is just probably a morally corrupt person who believes he is righting past injustices and preserving the first half-black African-American President’s legacy.
He is doing a bad thing BECAUSE he is a bad person.
He’s doing it because Obama and Holder are squeezing him and asking him, “Who’s side are you on?”…and “What do you think is waiting for you if you let Flynn go? Compared to what we can do for you if you suck it up and play ball” …and since no one in the swamp is ever held accountable, I’m sure this is an easy call for Sullivan regardless of what people think of his duty as a Federal Judge…remember, these people have no honor, just a will to power.
Sullivan’s soul is blacker than a moonless night sky.
1nikao says: “You assume that Sullivan is compromised by some type of blackmail when the reality is that he is just probably a morally corrupt person who believes he is righting past injustices and preserving the first half-black African-American President’s legacy. He is doing a bad thing BECAUSE he is a bad person.”
Exactly
He is doing it because he’s a “lieutenant” in the Globalist / Deep State (aka Commie) “army”.
They may “have stuff on him” (they probably “have stuff” on many, many individuals); but it isn’t needed here, because he’s GLADLY doing what any “good soldier” would do as a member of that “army” (i.e., serving the cause).
People that “excuse” these clowns due to “he’s being blackmailed”, or “he’s incompetent” are doing just that – excusing them. They have black hearts and there is no excuse for them.
Is this headed to the US Supreme court?
Short answer, NO. Judge will rule against dismissal. Sentence Flynn to the max which I think is 3 years. Now go appeal – that will take it past the election. Eventually Flynn will prevail, but after the election.
FTA:
“It is unknown what Judge Sullivan plans to do with this amicus brief; however, the scheduled hearing for oral argument before the court is September 29th.”
LOL
I can GUESS what this is, and where this it is going. First, Sullivan will wave the amicus brief in the air and say “SEE! I TOLD YOU SO!” and then refuse to dismiss the Flynn case. THAT is intended to postpone ANY possible exoneration of Flynn and (MORE IMPORTANTLY) vindication for President Trump until AFTER Nov 3.
THEN:
If Joe Biden’s hordes of mail in votes DON’T give him an undeserved victory, The amicus brief will be used to lay the groundwork for a SECOND IMPEACHMENT designed to handcuff Donald Trump for at least two more years. During that time BLM and Antifa will create so much chaos that even the most mainstream Americans will want relief. Question is… will we decide to live on our knees, or our feet?
I took an oath. Uncle Sam trained me to stand. These Colors Don’t Run!
That assumes that the Democrats retain the House. What I am doing is supporting my Republican Congressional candidate for the House. That is how you short circuit this. Vote Republican and have everyone you can convince to do so. This is the second time I am voting straight Republican in my life. The first being 2004 when it was Kerry vs. Bush.
VOTE IN PERSON!
I’m hopeful that we CAN do just that AND hold the Senate. I shudder to think what kind of legislation they will try to ramrod through Congress if they hold BOTH chambers.
I’m pretty sure it will be the prone position,
Bravo to Techno Fog’s 2nd tweet. Spot on and called them out on it. I don’ follow him methodically, but from the tweets I do see, as a lawyer, he comments on legal analysis/interpretation, etc. and is highly regarded. His chastisement carries weight.
Of course, The Great Sidney Powell is still great.
Sundance’s comments are icing on the cake.
Let’s update the Soros vs Barr-zini scoreboard
Soros
1- He and Bloomberg behind Mail in voting scheme. Tom Fitton’s Judicial Watch the only barrier.
2- Soros funded Lawfare lawyers destroyed evidence on their I Phones. Thanks Judicial Watch for finding that out.
3- His BrownShirts ambused Barr-zini’s friends and associates leaving the White House after President Trump gave his acceptance speech. Barr-zini takes no action against the DC Mayor who had her police stand down.
4-Lawfare lawyer now prosecuting Flynn. This is an obvious stall tactic to keep Flynn quiet until after the election.
5- Soros’s Brown Shirts continue to wreck havoc in major US cities with little resistance from Barr-zini.
6 – Soros controlled US Southern District of NY successfully used the Judicial System as a weapon against political opposition when he indicted Steve Bannon the very day Biden gave his acceptance speech. NO COINCIDENCE
7- Soros controlled State Department had Jonathon Winer destroy evidence on Steele’s request.
Barr-zini
1- Durham’s lead prosecutor just resigned, potentially damaging the investigation.
2- Other than Clinesmith, no action in Spy Gate
Soros continues to pitch a no -hitter against Barr-zini’s Little Leaguers.
I love Sidney Powell and she’s done a tremendous job here, deserves a statue one day, but I still have a hard time believing she thought Sullivan would do the right thing here. Maybe she just said these things in the lead up to pour molasses for old Sullivan, but she had to know when push came to shove, Sullivan would be down for the Cause and not for the rule of law. I know she comments here from time to time…I’d love to hear what she really thought of Judge Sullivan going into this…either now or after this ordeal is over
IMHO, Sidney based her initial predictions of Sullivan’s actions to his actions in the Senator Stevens case. It seemed to me that she hadn’t realized that Sullivan waited to “do the right thing” until the designed damage to Stevens was done and irreversible. But I wasn’t there and Sidney was so I’d defer to her explanation.
Hilarious how the dickhead Gleeson says the only explaination is they are doing President Trump’s bidding.
No, the simplest answer is he was never lying in the first place, idiot Gleeson!

After today’s filing, it seems clear this case will end up going to the Supreme Court; and I can’t imagine what that will cost.
I am really talking about “groups” made up of the cities own police forces. The Left Gov. Crooks want to defund and go after the police. Just turn the tables on them and go after them. One at a time until they are scared to death. Just like the DOJ or FBI the city police won’t go after their own. Nail the suckers at their own game. Every police force start their own little attack club. Would be fun to watch.
“It is unknown what Judge Sullivan plans to do with this amicus brief;”
I can give him a recommendation…but once inserted, it would be very uncomfortable for him to be a “sitting judge”
The most honest & heartfelt response here tonight.. ???
@GB Bari. Thank you, it DID come from the heart.
Sullivan, with support from his DC Circuit resistance operatives, is in complete control. Ms. Powell has been shouting at the clouds for months.
I anticipate that if he concludes the case at the end of September, it will be with a guilty verdict and sentencing, with immediate incarceration of Flynn. Or, he will fabricate a reason why the oral arguments process should be elongated to enable putting his decision “on the shelf” until after Nov. 3. The latter seemingly would avoid an interim appeal to the SCOTUS, so I think it is more likely than the former.
DS evil is firmly rooted in DC courts and, together with the Senate confirmation process controlling the leadership of the FBI and DOJ, its power may be insurmountable. Just a legal layman’s guess.
seems to me 31 erased i phones will force barr’s hand.
Don’t wager your life savings on that.
I’m going to backtrack here, I assumed this was all about the Sullivan/Lawfare stall till after the election…I believe that is incorrect, I believe that Sullivan is going to convict and lay a prison sentence on General Flynn… I believe that Lawfare is going to send a message that we control this picture and there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it… It’s an exhibition of pure political power/destruction by people who want to make it clear that they can control, cancel and destroy without any consequences…
Not a damn thing we can do…except pardon him
Sentencing someone to prison after the DOJ withdrawals prosecution might be a bridge too far for even Roberts and the Supreme Court… the operative word being “might”
Okay this surreal. Well can the President then put General Flynn under house arrest, say at the White House? Only half kidding.
Straight out corruption. Another attempt to dismantle our legal system. If Flynn is smart he will dismiss, but he’s not smart, he’s compromised. God bless General Flynn and May the force be with him.
The travesty of the Flynn case and the corruption of the judiciary will be dwarfed by what is going to transpire beginning November 4th as the lawless Democrats attempt to steal the election from a victorious president Trump. I fear the only way to settle these issues will be as was done in 1861.
That is the option we are being led to. We must not go there. The righteous didn’t suddenly become righteous; they just refused to go over the cliff with everybody else. Trust in the Lord.
Mercy?
God would have mercy, we won’t.
It will be interesting to see what God has planned for us sinners.
I remember when Andrew Cuomo lit up NYC 2 years ago to celebrate late term abortion and said to myself, What’s God Plan for him?
As we know now, NYC has the worst casualty rate of any city in the country, still in lock down, riots, and people leaving in droves.
As for the USA, Trump was on his way to a landslide victory until the virus hit. Now we have 50/50 chance of being ruled by Socialists who is controlled by Soros, who as a young man worked with the SS to separate Jews from their belongings in a concentration camp.
So a lot can happen between now and November 3.
Will Biden be exposed during the debates for the world to see?
Will a vaccine be delivered before November?
Will Trump continue to be more involved in peace treaties?
Will Crazy Nancy and Democrats continue to be Crazy?
So many questions, but one thing is for sure God likes to wait until the last minute to make his move.
“the Government nowhere even mentions the President’s personal lobbying… “
“the only coherent explanation for the Government’s exceedingly irregular motion… “
“is that the Justice Department has yielded to a pressure campaign led by the President… “
As Sundance states,
“Gleeson… pontificates shallow conspiracy theories about the DOJ bending to political pressure in their decision to drop the case.”
What TWISTED LOGIC these people have, to imply that the President lobbied for his political associate, BUT THEN, they do NOT PROVIDE any evidence to support their implication.
THEN, they DISPARAGE the Government/DOJ for NOT MENTIONING a NONEXISTENT pressure by the President to produce a result in the case, which pressure, if it ACTUALLY DID EXIST, would hardly be something any rational entity WOULD MENTION to incriminate themselves.
Is this what’s called a straw man argument?
I’m not the brightest bulb on the chandelier, especially regarding the law, but, I do enjoy the old line,
“What do you call a 747 full of lawyers that crashes in the ocean?”
“A good start”
(No offense to any Treeper lawyers. We need all the honest truth conveyors we can get)
does anyone know who ‘suggested’ the amicus after the case was set to dismiss? RBG! THE WITCH FROM HELL! Yes, it was HER suggestion that got this all started as a way to delay Flynn’s reentry into society with a clean record so he could resume helping Trump, which is why Pence wanted him out in the first place, because he was about to disclose the list of Peds and they were scared s***tless!!!!!THAT THEIR NAMES WOULD BE ON THE LIST, INCLUDING Pence. Umhmm, which is also why Scalise was also the target of attempted murder, as he was also the bearer of this list and which he was about to go public with. Umhmmm, lots of people at stake!
Either Sullivan is suffering from a cognitive deficit or an imposter is In his robe.
Sidney Powell
“Emmet G. Sullivan is one judge who knows a cover-up when he sees one. He has seen this movie before.”
“ Judge Sullivan is the judge who held federal prosecutors in contempt, dismissed an unjust indictment against a United States Senator, and publicly excoriated the Department of Justice. He also had the moral conviction, courage and gumption to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Justice Department and the individual prosecutors.”
, “An experienced trial judge, Sullivan was a distinguished man and widely held in high regard. He was no ordinary federal judge; he had worked hard all his life on several different courts and had been appointed by three presidents representing both political parties. . . . He had great respect for the rule of law and strived to apply it equally and fairly in all cases in his courtroom….
In the Stevens case, Judge Sullivan publicly upbraided the government lawyers before an overflow courtroom, ‘In nearly 25 years on the bench, I’ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I’ve seen in this case. . . . When the government does not meet its obligations to turn over evidence, the system falters.’“

Yes I had read about the frame job against of Sen. Stevens which involved brazen perjury by the FBI and the suborning of it by prosecutors. Judge Sullivan was clearly livid at what happened in his courtroom but so the vast majority of judges across the nation. I won’t try to read his intentions but the appointment of the Gleeson character is worrisome.
eesh typos..
Remember, Sullivan presided over that case right through that senate election. No one really knows WHEN Sullivan became aware of the prosecutorial misconduct. We do know that when it was presented to him in a courtroom, he responded in the proper manner.
Except, like Trump, he waited and waited Stevens lost his re-election and then died.
He has chits he owes…
He makes deals with devils.
Sundance,
Interesting that in your previous screed about a woman with “great Irish….. was rejoining her friends in the swamp/bog (I am Irish)
Then here we have Gleesons O’Sullivans, and O’Neil (only one L? that tells me he has gone over to the dark side)
The only Irish Quisling missing is O’Bama
It is unbelievable and an embarrassment how corrupted my fellow Irish have become by supporting the satanists.
Who’s worse, NYC Irish, Boston Irish or Philly Irish? I’m a southern boy so I’m just wondering in case I do some traveling
Philly Irish here, & yes, I will admit (embarrassingly) that too many play for the dark side. I will also admit that there are components of socialism in both Catholicism & with the beginnings of the Irish Rebellion. So I must also admit that I’m not at all surprised. I also believe you would hear similar sentiments from fellow Irish in both NYC & Boston. My long-winded answer to your question…it’s a toss-up!
O’Bama is involved. I have photo of him with the corrupt judge, but WordPress doesn’t seem to allow a Paste of a photo.
