Yesterday, in a final foot-stomping and teeth-gnashing exhibition of judicial activism, federal judge Emmet Sullivan allowed a host of political amicus briefs to be provided to the case file against Lt. General Michael Flynn.
The obvious judicial intent was to legally smear General Flynn with as many corrupt and manipulative Lawfare opinions as possible. In essence Sullivan was just pouring on the dirt after President Trump stepped in and said “enough” granting Flynn a deserved, full and unconditional pardon.
I didn’t write about Sullivan’s scheme and vile nature last night because: (a) I was very angry, and (b) I suspected Sullivan’s only intent was to besmirch the good name and reputation of Flynn in the judicial record. Ultimately Sullivan’s childish Lawfare antics held no legal or judicial merit because Flynn has been pardoned. It was all moot.
Today, after stomping his feet and throwing a verbal tantrum, as expected Judge Sullivan announces the motion to dismiss the case is granted.
I’ve got two words for you Judge Sullivan, and they ain’t Merry Christmas!
And, for the record, I ain’t too happy with AG Bill Barr in this endeavor either.
Instead of using the truth of his office to stand up to the corruption in this case, AG Barr used USAO Jeff Jensen to deliver the evidence of institutional corruption to Sidney Powell and made her expose the rotten core activity of the DOJ and FBI.
AG Bill Barr hid behind the skirt of Sidney Powell because he could not bring himself to visibly and publicly admit the institutions of the DOJ and FBI were/are compromised beyond recovery….
I wrote this ↓ in early 2019, and I stand by it; it’s exactly what happened. FUBAR:
SSCI Vice Chairman Mark Warner, SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and Acting SSCI Chair Marco Rubio are dirty. So too was Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, FBI Director Chris Wray, FBI Deputy Director David Bowditch and FBI Legal Counsel Dana Boente. Their predecessors were dirty: Comey, McCabe and Baker.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller was dirty. Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was dirty. All of the special counsel lawyers including Andrew Weissmann and Brandon Van Grack (Flynn prosecutor) were/are dirty.
Additionally, Mueller’s lead FBI Agent David Archey, who was promoted after the corrupt special counsel investigation to be the head of the Virginia FBI field office, dirty. FBI official David Archey, like ICIG Michael Atkinson, conveniently put into a place where he can run cover for FBI operations that might expose dirty DC and Virgina-based FBI activities. See how that works?
Try telling me with all we know about the Mueller investigation how anyone on the special counsel assignment was participating in a fraudulent investigation without knowing.
Special Agent Peter Strzok, dirty. FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, dirty. FBI Lawyer Lisa Page, dirty. FBI media spox Michael Kortan, dirty. James Comey, Andrew McCabe and James Baker, dirty-dirty-dirty. Fortunately all of these are fired… but what about Supervisory Special Agent Joseph Pientka (SSA1)? Pientka clearly outlined as dirty by Inspector General Michael Horowitz report on FISA abuse, and yet still employed; still providing cover.
So what exactly does that make IG Horowitz? At best the lead corruption manager who comes in willfully blind behind the Bondo application team…
FUBAR.
All of it !
As I’ve said more than once – corruption isn’t a feature of the system. It is the system.
Doubt this? Look up Ratcliffe’s (NOT) answering questions on Maria’s Sunday show. The FBI *ought to* be looking into voter fraud?? Are every one of the appointments Deep State??
I have learned never to count President Trump out, but I do wonder if he really IS holding the cards. He needs to pull that rabbit out of the hat pretty darn soon – or all of what Sundance writes about here just goes away.
I am really hoping that the military is involved due to foreign involvement in our election.
And as I have said many times, in many ways, it is CONmunism.
Its a CON. Pay NO attention to the “ideological” claptrap, it is the con artists “patter”, designed to distract the mark, and delude them into handing the con artist their money.
Conmunism is,EXACTLY as you say, where CORRUPTION IS THE SYSTEM.
And, TOTAL control in order to ESTABLISH a system in which Corruption is King, is their goal.
So, stop using the various names, used to distract us into BELIEVING there are different groups;
Republicons, Rinos, Neocons, Nevertrumpers, Big Cand small C Conservatives, Democrats, Dem Socialists, leftists, libertards, etc.
They are ALL CONmunists, bent on destroying America, by destroying those things which make America the ONLY Impediment to establishing a Global Conmunist hegemony, with China at the top.
The Constitution, the Rule of Law, a free market capitalist economy, and US, a vibrant middle class are the key elements that MAKE AMERICA GREAT, that make it the “shining city on a hill”, and that make it the only impediment and that they MUST remove, in order to achieve their goal.
Conmunists vs patriots, thats the two sides, and ANYONE opposing our side, is a conmunist.
Getting distracted by the different alleged factions, or attempting to explain their motives, such as trying to explain Barrs motives, or McConnells, dilutes this fundamental truth, and serves THEIR purpose.
Its a mentaltrap, don’t fall for it.
They need to repent and get saved. There is no other option.
God is coming and the judgement on evil will take place.
Without salvation a person is in direct jeopardy of facing that judgement.
The terror of it will stagger them beyond belief.
Go’s is drawing His enemies together in one place.
God is drawing
Sundance…I agree 100%….!
I have been a fan of General Flynns since I read his book years ago. Broke my heart what he and family has been through.
I would like to add…I hope Karma is wearing those red stilettos when she kicks Sullivan in the rear!
The only description fitting for Sullivan is the abbreviations for the name Richard Cranium.
This judge needs to be impeached and convicted with extreme prejudice.
Need a Repub House with cojones for that to happen.
Need a MAGA Party House. By definition they will have all the cojones needed.
The cover-up is worse than the crime – by not exposing the corruption within, any credibility that the public still had for the agency is now, and forever, gone.
President Trump definitely needs a full term without the obstruction and maybe another term after that to make sure this mess gets cleaned up!
The best explaination I have been able to come up with, for the Gen. Flynn debacle, is this;
Yes, the wanted to remove Flynn, post haste from the WH, because he was in a position to uncover all the crimes of Obamination.
And, as we saw, they DID.
BUT, they got greedy. There was a point, before he hired Sidney, when they HAD him.
He had pled guilty, and was simply awaiting sentencing. WHY didn’t they just have Sullivan sentence him?
The excuse was his ongoing “help” with the case against his business partner.
But, even when his partner beat the case, they continued to delay sentencing,..WHY?
My thinking is that they wanted an Oct. surprise.
A HEADLINE, just before the election;
“Gen Flynn, PDJT’s former Natl. Security Advisor, sentenced to two years, for lieing to FBI about contacts with Russia.”
Personally, I think Barr brought Jensen in, because Sidneys filings, perhaps combined with the FISA court order to identify forbidden fruit from the C. Page FISA warrant, FORCED him to ‘pull the plug’, at least to the point of having the DOJ withdraw.
Similar to how Grennell as acting ODNI, forced McConnell to relent an confirm Ratcliffe, and similar to how wound down the Mueller investigation, when it failed.
Its what Bondo Barr does; Bondo over things, clean up the mess, move on nuthin to see.
And, perhaps in the know that Sullivan would try to keep the plan alive.
I think too many try to explain and excuse the actions of people like Barr, and draw distinctions between McConnell and the Dems, which are unwarranted.
They are CONmunists, thats ALL you need to know.
IMHO
Texas lawsuit bill of Complaint, I know Sundance will link to this and I advise everyone to read it. 92 pages of MAGA!
BILL OF COMPLAINT
Our Country stands at an important crossroads.
Either the Constitution matters and must be followed,
even when some officials consider it inconvenient or
out of date, or it is simply a piece of parchment on
display at the National Archives. We ask the Court to
choose the former.
Lawful elections are at the heart of our
constitutional democracy. The public, and indeed the
candidates themselves, have a compelling interest in
ensuring that the selection of a President any President
is legitimate. If that trust is lost, the
American Experiment will founder. A dark cloud
hangs over the 2020 Presidential election.
Here is what we know. Using the COVID-19
pandemic as a justification, government officials in
the defendant states of Georgia, Michigan, and
Wisconsin, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(collectively, “Defendant States”), usurped their
legislatures’ authority and unconstitutionally revised
their state’s election statutes. They accomplished
these statutory revisions through executive fiat or
friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity.
Finally, these same government officials flooded the
Defendant States with millions of ballots to be sent
through the mails, or placed in drop boxes, with little
or no chain of custody and, at the same time,
weakened the strongest security measures protecting
the integrity of the vote — signature verification and
witness requirements.
I am proud to be a TEXAN! Is this from our AG or who is going to take this to supreme court? I mean a lawyer. I want CRUZ to do that.
I don’t know if it can be put in the filings, or oral arguments, but seems to me an important point.
IF, for sake of discussion, we concede a compelling state interest, of preventing in person elections from being a Superspreader event, justified the switch to mail out ballots, on an emergency basis, without going thru the normal legal steps to make such changes,….
Then WHY did these SAME States HAVE in persin early, AND Election day voting?
And issue public announcements,SAYING that with the measures they implemented, (socialist distancing, gloves, sanitiser, masks, etc.) that in person voting was “perfectly safe”.
I am not conceding the covid is fraud, but only conceding for making the argument.
Put another way, if they had said in person voting was just too great a risk, or virtual certainty of being a Superspreader, and so CANCELLED any in person voting, then of coarse mail out ballots would have been the only option, and justified.
But they didn’t DO that.
And these in person measures, masking, etc. did NOT impact the security of the integrity of the elections, but the mail out ballots DID.
AND it WASN’T NECESARY, based on their OWN WORDS AND ACTIONS.
Judge Thomas,
You know what to do now that the tables have been turned…
https://conservativebrief.com/tr-9487-mjynhbgvf-30517/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews
My schadenfreude is that Thomas will write the opinion that Biden lost, and if it ends up in the House, Pelosi will get to call the vote for the re-election. Then I would like to see her copy of the SOTU printed on thin metal with very sharp edges.
She can bend thin metal. Heck, her face can probably melt thin metal.
No, engrave her copy of the President’s fifth SOTU onto plates of 1/4 inch tablets of triple chromium-plated steel. The glare from lights will reflect up into her face.
Judge Thomas,
Never forget the witch-hunt that Joe Biden led against you in 1991 during your confirmation hearings. First, crush Joe Biden in the Georgia lawsuits, and then crush Joe Biden for good in the Texas omnibus case. America is depending on you to save the Republic. Let that be your final legacy.
You are assuming that the state uniparty (AKA R) controlled ones will vote for PTrump. After seeing how spineless and cowardly they have been, I would not bet on it.
There was a crooked judge and he walked a crooked mile….
Just want to thank you Sundance for doing this, this whole thing that you’ve done here. I’ve seen you attacked by both the #democommies and even some in the Patriot community.
Even after a “big tech” attack, you’re still here posting another great article. You found a way around it. Without you, my understanding of what’s really been going on would not be as clear as it is now. Not by a long shot.
So, keep it up, no matter what.
Paul.
Someday Sullivan will be kneeling before the Righteous Judge.
The populace NOT our MAKER, I want that POS writhing in excruciating pain, the same pain Rep. Scalise was forced to endure, BEFORE he, Sullivan, receives his ultimate judgement by our CREATOR.
That’s not good enough. He needs punishment here on earth so we can all enjoy it.
LOL
I’m absolutely convinced now that Barr making Durham a “special prosecutor” was purpose designed to inhibit Trump from doing a big declassification.
It is my opinion that Barr’s reflex to protect the institutions is stronger than his self proclaimed dedication to truth and justice. I also believe that Barr knows that a thorough cleaning of the Swamp will flush as many GOPers as Dems….and he just won’t do that.
Corruption wins again.
The American Republic. RIP.
Barr knows there is only the Uniparty, Dems and Republicans is a fake show for the dumb taxpaying sheep. Imagine a job where you get paid to just connive how to scam money all day.
IMHO,
This excuse that Barr wants to protect the Institutions is horeshockey, he is protecting the INSTIGATORS and DRIVERS of the ongoing coup, by giving the “active small group” a pass, because being self serving psychopaths, if faced with serious consequences, they WOULD flip, which would take the whole thing right to Congress’s door.
He is “protecting” the Uniparty in control of Congress, and doesn’t care how many istitutions of Gov’t he destroys, in the process.
Since when will that prevent Trump from a document dump if he is cheated out of office? They might not like it, so what else is new?
Our nation, founded on HONOR and GOD’S guidance has been reduced by scum politicians.. GOD doesn’t forget when insulted. ” in the end , all will be brought into the light”.
One name I didn’t see was Gina Hapspell. She is just as dirty and should be wearing stripes.
The rumors persist that Gina Hapless is “singing” to white hats about see eye aye involvement in election rigging along with Dominion’s circle of complicit politicians and other officials.
If true, it would be quite plausible that we wouldn’t read about that in any MSM sources or their second and third tier sycophantic smaller publications and “news” sites.
Its not that hard! Flynn knows a lot! This is why it all happened in the first place! You don’t think the judge wasn’t taking direction from the FBI? Of course they’re all dirty! Trump has exposed many, with a lot more to come!
Retired Magistrate here: Someone must have had a long talk with Judge Sullivan. I never thought he would give up pursuing Flynn until the US Marshalls dragged him off the bench.
As someone who has been on the bench, I am ashamed of my profession; so many activist judges/magistrates who totally ignore the law and just legislate from the bench.
Thanks for your honest opinion until there is a wholesale cleaning of DC the Republic will not return to it’s right place

Ever so slowly and gingerly I believe that I am seeing some light at the end of this long election tunnel.
I also have 2 words for him and it will be nice for him to take pride in it. “ M.F.”
Trump should retroactively pull Flynn’s pardon and clear his record.
I always thought one of the keys to the false charges that is almost always overlooked was how team Obama redefined the term “sanctions” to include “expulsions”. I looked through the original Obama executive order versus Russia and it made a clear distinction between “sanctions” and “expulsions”. There was a clear distinction in every document that referenced Russian “sanctions” until Obama and crew synonymized the two different terms after meeting with Flynn. Flynn said nothing about sanctions. He encouraged Russia not to escalate with more expulsions. But, once explusions and sanctions are synonymized by team Obama in January 2017, then it becomes possible to purposely misinterpret Flynn’s words to create false charges against him. And here we sit, with much of the country believing Flynn worked with Russia to “rig” the election. Will there be consequences?
I second Mickey’s comment.
In the spirit of the glass is half full, not empty, this case, the voter fraud and the fraudulent Russia, Russia, Russia case against President Trump has opened many citizen eyes to the corruption in our government.
Now we have to organize our efforts to do something about it.
amjean,
Thats almost the whole point of Gods plan. Every attack the enemy has launched, has ULTIMATELY enhanced PDJT’s CREDIBILITY, and diminished THEIRS.
POWER is the ability to shape PUBLIC POLICY.
And shaping PUBLIC OPINION, is a KEY component of shaping Public Policy.
Read Ben Rhodes interview, where he talks about how they sold the Iran deal, or how Bush admin sold the Iraq war.
CREDIBILTY is inherently necesary, in order to shape public opinion, SO THAT you can shape public policy.
So, by increasing PDJT’s credibility, and decreasing THEIR OWN Credibility, they have empowered HIM, and disempowered themselves.
And, the nice thing is,
THEY STILL DON’T GET IT, and keep making this same, crucial mistake, over and over again, expecting different results.
They remind me of the Dad in “Pleasantville” movie, walking thru the empty house saying “Honey,…I’m HOME!”
Anyone taking bets that this isnt over?
I’m expecting a Contempt of Court citation from Sullivan as they were arguing in the briefs for withdrawing his guilty plea.
Is it without merit? Of Course…but that’s not the goal.
To totalitarians you are always in violation of the law. They decide. The social credit system of the Chinese (headed our way) manifests that.
If the Supreme Court is packed, they will challenge the legality of Presidential pardons.
Michael Flynn is now an Enemy of the State – the greatest possible crime, to a leftist.
Are words wrapping in the middle to the next line a recent development I’m seeing on this thread? It appears words are wrapping correctly in the comment box but perhaps breaking up after posted. I’ll see when I post this.
Yes, they are.
Hopefully soon, Sullivan will be moot as well.
Yep, words are breaking to the next line.
??
One day this miserable commie sonofabitch will get everything that’s
coming to him.
“Instead of using the truth of his office to stand up to the corruption in this case, AG Barr used USAO Jeff Jensen to deliver the evidence of institutional corruption to Sidney Powell and made her expose the rotten core activity of the DOJ and FBI.”
Watching what Trump just did with the election fraud (using Rudi and Sidney to prep the battlespace for a somewhat surprising grand finale in the US Supreme Court) I can’t help but wonder if “going around” these completely compromised and corrupt entities was an absolute necessity. We now know who was corrupt, but we didn’t know at the beginning. By using individuals outside the govnt, such as Sidney and Rudi, Trump was able to cut this freaking army of traitors out of his loop . I jokingy call Trump the Scooby Doo President because his super power was getting America’s domestic enemies to gleefully rip off their masks and say, “That’s right! I broke the law to get Trump!! Bwahaha!”.
These people Trump is fighting against are THE most ruthless on the planet. If the enemy knew what was going on they would just kill or strong-arm anyone who got in their way Instead, it appears Trump allowed the enemy four years to expose themselves because they believed there would be no consequences for doing so – only rewards. Hopium? Very possibly. I’m not defending Bill Barr. From all angles it looks like he failed on every level. And after what he did at Ruby Ridge, my eyes are open wide. I just wonder if, whether he knew it or not, it was his job to keep the traitors thinking they had it all under control, while the real work was being done in stealth. Rudy dealt with the mob for decades and I suspect he knows how to make the mobsters think they have the police and the judges under their control when in fact it is just an elaborate ruse to confuse and further infiltrate their organizations.
By the way, are people seeing words just truncated on the right side margin?
Yes
Yes. Words are being split at the end of lines without regard to hyphenation or syllables.
I think I did space. Oh well. Doesn’t matter. It seems a meaningless comment after reading this:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/12/breaking-supreme-court-denies-latest-election-challenge-pennsylvania/
I’m fresh out of hopium.
It appears you have to hit the return key twice to get a fresh paragraph.
and FWIW, it looks from my end like there is a new paragraph whenI I hit the return key just once, but when it posts the gap between the lines disappears and the new sentence just moves down to the very next line. If I hit return key twice it generates what appears on my end to be a VERY large gap between the paragraphs, but looks normal when it posts.
Note my short example above.
It happens on a single sentence post that I put up before. That’s when I discovered the edit button… but I found there was nothing to edit.
Trump should grant a pardon to Sullivan just to embarrass him.
Wow, great news! Having to dismiss must have hair lipped the judge.
Judge not, lest ye be judged, Emmet. Judge not.
Hopefully this is his last, ahem, rendition of this tired old song.
I suspect Sullivan will now get to sing the “lest you be judged” refrain.
He wins the Turd Ferguson lifetime award. If you dig into his background you see what a corrupt pos he is.
Note to putz. Live it, love, FUGITABOT IT!
? Have a nice day.
Sullivan’s behavior & biased opinions are case studies in what judges should never, ever do.
The fact Flynn had to be pardoned to end his political persecution will be regarded by history as vindicating the presidential pardon power.
Founders had asshats like Sullivan in mind when they made it absolute.
The judicial council can censure and reprimand him and cease assigning him cases for a fixed period.
File complaints against him fro his egregious conduct: https://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/judicial-conduct-disability/faqs-filing-judicial-conduct-or-disability-complaint
With so many who are dirty is there anyone clean? Anyone? Just one…
Perfect.
Nice.
Fascinating.
“US exceptionalism” extends to the judicial system which sometimes seems dangerous beyond belief. Nowhere else in the English speaking world, with roots in English common law, could a judge proceed with a case where the public prosecutor has withdrawn the prosecution and where the head of govt can and did pardon the accused.
This judge is clearly unfit for purpose and needs removing asap before he does any more politically motivated damage to an innocent men.
Further reference to Bill Barr should be FUBARR. He has earned it and that is his legacy.
Fouled

Barr has proven himself to be useless
The only difference between Sessions and Barr is that Barr didn’t hide under his desk when he was cowering.
Poison mushrooms popping up all over the Swamp!!
Yes indeed, the Hannity meme that 99% of FBI agents are honest cops is clearly drivel.
So many must have known about so many different examples of corruption within the DoJ it would, in my estimation, be hard to find one (1) FBI agent especially in DC who didn’t passively or actively go along with it.
Here’s the really depressing bit, none will be charged with anything, they will still run the FBI head office and the street until they retire.
Corruption is rampant. Disgusting.
I hope General Flynn is able to sue in the same vein as Carter Page. Actually, General Flynn has a better case. I would like to see him go directly for Obama since anyone with a brain close to as large as a particle of CoVid knows who railroaded him!! Sending a Mickey to Barry. He deserves it (mainly for pulling ole Emmitt’s strings and threatening to expose little Emmitt for his immoral acts that got his daddy blackmailed by Barry). Merry Christmas to Emmitt and Barry–in Gitmo!!!!!
? ?? ?
I’ve said this many times here. The serious question we should all be asking is: Can it be fixed?
There are many who answered “yes” to that question over the past four years. Yet here we are. Is it fixed? Is it in any appreciable way closer to being fixed?
If the answer is “no,” then we should all be thinking about our alternatives.
General Flynn knows too much re the corruption within the Intel community going back years including to whom bribes/ payola were paid and by whom, including aspects of the Iran nuclear deal. Consequently, he was targeted for destruction. One other thing, most of the Washington “white shoe” law firms, particularly, there so-called “rain makers” have some sort of connections with the Intel community as well as FBI, DOJ. Consider Covington Burling, Flynn’s, original lawyers, there top rain makers are Eric Holder and Michael Chertoff. Go figure.
We have to be rebellious, people. It’s the only way. It will take years, but it has to be done. Civil disobedience has GOT To start.
As Levin says, all SCOTUS had to say to the PA Supreme Court was, “Follow Article2. That’s it.”
Thank You, God In Heaven Above.
We pray that You will continue to place Your Hand upon one of America’s patriotic heroes and his family.
Amen
I have no legal training but I wondered all along if SCOTUS would do just what Levin said, that SCOTUS fears the Dems, fears ruling against them will anger them so that the Court will be expanded.
As Levin said, they didn’t even tell us who voted how, didn’t BOTHER TO EXPLAIN IT because they couldn’t justify it.
The Alinsky method works again.
It was 9-0 against injunctive relief to stop the certification.
Looks like it’s on WE THE PEOPLE. Or, like Sundance wrote weeks ago, we can get used to wearing our masks in our cars while we toodle down the interstate. Judge Sullivan is just one of many judges who will screw people over because he can. Our Justices are just as useless as our RINOs.
Actually far worse than useless!

Having a lifelong affinity for cats, and kittens, I think it germane (even if off-topic) to recognize the MAGA kitten, as a warm, reassuring presence (icon image) here.
As one of those already at peace with my PERSONAL decision not to give up on prosecuting the half of the nation that is criminally treasonous (not just treasonous, that is, but FLOUTINGLY, BLATANTLY CRIMINAL — eh?), I don’t give a hoot WHAT reporters are missing in the PA suit.
What?…Oh, that’s right…you all knew that much already about me…never mind, then.
I know, I know, I have to start adding a blank line between intended paragraphs. (As the Beatles would say, “…run together, right now, over me”.)
Notice Heaven & Earth were moved for Bush in 2000…not now. Why exactly is that???
A gift to what we didn’t know at the time was 100% Fake News. A lot of controversies are ginned up to keep the news spin cycles going. Now it’s to the point that Fake News not only is not needed – so it should DIE – but it is likely the greatest menace we face to date. If they did their jobs, NONE of this would be happening and politicians would be scared straight. As it is, Fake News and Fake Politicians wash each others’ backs and literally fall into bed with each other.
