It looked like a good day for General Michael Flynn when the Department of Justice, having learned how corrupt the previous administration's case against Flynn was, moved to dismiss the prosecution. This is the kind of motion that courts rubber-stamp unless they fear that the Justice Department is dismissing a weak case as a prelude to filing a stronger case later. Without that situation present, Sullivan's only option should have been to grant the motion.
On May 11, Judge Emmet Sullivan, who had been openly hostile to Flynn, surprised everyone by saying from the bench that he was inviting third parties to weigh in on the matter, opposing both Flynn and the DOJ. One day later, acting on his own initiative, Sullivan appointed John Gleeson, a retired judge who had co-written a Washington Post opinion piece objecting to Flynn's dismissal, to argue against the DOJ's motion to dismiss.
A week later, Flynn's intrepid counsel, Sidney Powell, filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the appellate court asking that the court force Sullivan (1) to grant the motion to dismiss, (2) to reverse the invitation to Judge Gleeson, and (3) to exit the case poste haste. On Thursday, the appellate court, acting through Judges Karen Henderson, Robert L. Wilkins, and Neomi Rao, issued an unexpected order:
ORDERED, on the court's own motion, that within ten days of the date of this order the district judge file a response addressing petitioner's request that this court order the district judge to grant the government's motion to dismiss filed on May 7, 2020 (ECF No. 198). See Fed. R. Crim. P. 48(a); United States v. Fokker Services B.V., 818 F.3d 733 (D.C. Cir. 2016). The government is invited to respond in its discretion within the same ten-day period.
A world of information lies behind that brevity, especially to those who have spent years reading meaning into cryptic orders. Full Article @ American Thinker
The Hunting of the President
Scores of bad actors first want to take out the attorney general.
There was no predicate for charging Mr. Flynn with a crime back in 2017. Yet if [The] Jensen report cleared Mr. Flynn, why are the Democrats and the press so eager to castigate the attorney general and not Mr. Jensen? All we read in the press is that the country’s best legal minds are outraged at the attorney general. Almost 2,000 former employees for the Justice Department signed an open letter protesting Mr. Barr’s action. (Thousands of other former Justice Department employees apparently abstained.) The answer is because the attorney general oversees the entire cleanup of “Spygate” with all its working parts. The surest way to close down this enormous undertaking is to take out Attorney General Barr. Read More
The Firehose of Falsehood Hits Flynn, Gorka, and King
The firehose of falsehood campaigns against Flynn, Gorka, and King have a number of things in common.
First they came for General Mike Flynn, and I did not speak out— - Because I was not a truth-telling military officer who contradicted the worldview of Max Boot and Jennifer Rubin and David Ignatius and others on the Washington Post payroll. Read More
Forget About Seeing Any Justice For Obamagate
Disabuse yourself of your naïve delusion that we still live in a country with a justice system
Allow me to disabuse you of your naïve delusion that we still live in a country with a justice system and break it to you that no one is going to jail for what was done to Flynn, or for the unmasking business, or for the Russia hoax or, for that matter, for any of the corrupt Dem/foreigner collaborations exemplified by the payoffs received by stripperphile and Bolivian folk medicine enthusiast Hoover Biden.
No one.
Well, maybe Mike Flynn himself will. Since his judge is now making up the law as he goes along – in law school they taught us that the judicial branch didn’t prosecute, but that was before the Trump Exception™ to existing principles – I actually expect that the next time the General shows up in court the judge will sentence him on his coerced plea to a “crime” that never happened and order the marshals to immediately take him into custody.

A Time to Hate, Its not Too Late
Not one single slime in the swamp has been brought to justice. There is a time to love and a time to hate. This is a time to hate.
I accepted the rules of the game. Obama was president. He won fair and square because the Republicans serially put up two milquetoast opponents who were incapable of offering a vision or articulating a message that inspired. Trump has been the chief executive for more than three years, and he has proven to be a great president but incapable of cleaning the swamp. Not one single slime in the swamp has been brought to justice. There is a time to love and a time to hate. This is a time to hate. Read More
