Thread: Guess what just crawled out of the woodwork. After granting leave to file amicus briefs in the Flynn case to three different parties, Judge Sullivan has now dismissed the case. And that’s not all he’s done. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592.311.0_14.pdf
He has also issued three additional orders dismissing as moot the numerous motions that he never made decisions on.
This guy is a genuine piece of work. He could have issued a simple order dismissing the case and stating that any pending motions were therefore moot. But he elected to dismiss each and every motion as moot individually.
Not only that, but in his dismissal memorandum for the case, he chose to pontificate for 43! pages what his view of the case was. “Upon careful consideration” he’s doing this. Seriously. The President pardoned Flynn. In so doing, he stripped Sullivan of ALL his power.
Yet somehow, Sullivan felt it necessary to carefully consider all the ramifications before admitting he was powerless to change the outcome of the case. What a despicable egotist.
Then, after carefully considering his options and realizing he was in checkmate, he rambled on for 42 more pages reminiscing about his golden years putting Flynn through the ringer. There’s only one just outcome for such a pompous ass as Sullivan - impeachment.
FOUR times in this document he states that Flynn admitted to making false statements. He even brings in the FARA issues, despite the fact that Flynn was never charged with that, and the parallel case was thrown out by the judge as incredibly weak sauce.
He points out that he denied ALL of Flynn’s claims of Brady violations, even though those were admitted to by the DoJ! Then he launches a long soliloquy to convince anyone reading that courts actually have the power to refuse to dismiss a case under the circumstances of Flynn.
Basically he’s arguing that judge DO have the power to ignore the Constitution when it pleases them to do so. For that alone he should be removed from the bench.
The remainder is page upon page upon page of puffery and aggrandizement of the power of judges in our system. My suggestion to Sullivan would be - stick to the law you pompous ass.
Thus endeth a sordid affair in the annals of justice. May its tribe never increase.
