1. What does this mean??? Good news?? Or bad for Flynn???

[PRETZEL]

2. INitially great news for Flynn

Without seeing anything more, this apparently was the 3 judge panel's opinion. There was always speculation that the ruling would hinge on 1 judge (and I apologize her name isn't popping into my mind) but you can be assured that this will be elevated to the full panel now.

Judge Sullivan will not take this ruling sitting down,

3. What can Judge Sullivan do?

[PRETZEL]

4. Not a lawyer

but can't he appeal to the full court?

[still_one]

6. Neither am I. I guess the question is can Judge Sullivan take it to the SC?

[PRETZEL]

7. I don't know if it'll go that far,

but at least this decision needs to be affirmed by the full Court of Appeals, at a minimum.

9. Thanks

11. MSNBC sez the judge who ruled on this is a brand new, newly minted IQ45 judge. Surprised anyone?

It's just who knows who.

8. But he plead guilty

I don’t understand. This is fucked up.

10. Sullivan succeeded in getting Justice Department corruption on the record

We are deeply indebted to him for that. The report that he requested that retired Judge to enter into the record is now public information. The fraud has at least been well documented. He did what he could and what he could do still matters.
