Some of the evidence against Flynn must have been gathered under a FISA warrant he issued. In that case, he might have to rule on the validity of his own decision. That could trigger a recusal. That's how it works when a judge goes to SCOTUS and has to rule on a case he or she already ruled on as a lower judge.
