Judge Sullivan steps on the brakes of the DOJ in the Flynn case!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Wants to see further submissions and allows amicus curiae (friend of court) briefs before making a decision!

1. that's really the best we could hope for

the judge is not likely to go against the prosecutors, but shining a brighter light on this will be a big positive.

17. Indeed. nt

2. K&R!

3. Hey, we have a honest judge,

Go get em, make the bastards show why Flynn should be freed. Friend-of- court brief sounds like he wants the prosecutor who quit the case to explain why. This could be as important as the SC hearing today.

4. This is great news for the rule of law and bad news for trump/Flynne

7. force Trump to pardon the traitor!!

[gab13by13]

9. OK lawyers,

since the prosecutor quit the case before the shit hit the fan will he be allowed to file a brief explaining why he quit?

10. Asking for arguments that might dissuade him from proceeding with sentencing?

"when a party is not represented competently or is not represented at all"

11. Hey George Conway

here is a good chance to put it to Trump, file a amicus brief against Flynn.

[BComplex]

25. Could he do that? If he could, you might want to email him.

And, yes, that would definitely piss of the trumpet.

[warmfeet]

12. That is nice and all.

By what means is this monster, killing thousands of Americans, stopped.

I hope November 3rd does the trick. What remedy do we have if that does not work? Unthinkable? Yes.

I would like a plan B, a plan C, and a plan D.

[maxrandb]

14. I think this just about sums up our current DOJ

"an amicus brief should normally be allowed when a party is not being represented competently"

[Solomon]

15. He will never be able to read them all! There will be so many arguing for him to slam Flynn.

[CatWoman]

20. maybe that's part of his plan

[uponit7771]

21. +1

[mountain grammy]

16. Guess they haven't put a gun

To his grandchild’s head yet. Barr will do whatever it takes.

[Wounded Bear]

18. K & R...for visibility...nt

[MFGsunny]

19. All things considered, Judge Sullivan made a brilliant ruling. Think about it!n/t

[oasis]

22. Flynn is a traitor, any way you look at it. lock him up.

[crickets]

23. Good. K&R

[padah513]

24. Good. Drag it out until January 22, 2021

Trump can't pardon while it's still in litigation, and Biden's AG can pick it up from there.

[BComplex]

26. Brilliant!

Let's go for it!

[euphorb]

28. Actually, Trump can pardon at any time, even if it's still in litigation.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

27. I hope SCOTUS takes note of this. n/t

[DIVINEprividence]

29. Barr's resignation must be demanded

Barr must resign. This drum must be banged long and hard and without relent.
