I tweeted yesterday that I was going to try to resist the urge to blast out “hot takes” on the submission by Judge Sullivan in response to the Circuit Court’s Order connected to Gen. Flynn’s Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. I did post a few thoughts as I made my way through the document, and later I gave my “30,000 foot” view of the filing.
As I wrote earlier on Twitter, the submission filed by attorney Beth Wilkinson on behalf of Judge Sullivan seems to have not been interested in addressing the pointed question raised by the Court’s order, but instead would be more accurately characterized as the proverbial ranting of an old man telling the neighbor kids to “Get off my lawn!”
More than anything else, the submission seeks to retain what Judge Sullivan believes are the prerogatives of the District Court, which is to get the first crack at writing whatever it is he feels entitled to write about Gen. Flynn and the DOJ motion, and once he’s done the Circuit Court can grade his work. Until then, Judge Sullivan seems to be saying “Butt out!!”
I’m not going to cover the ground already well-worn by others and give you a full “briefing” on the arguments made by Wilkinson on Judge Sullivan’s behalf. I will refer to the DOJ brief filed several hours after Judge Sullivan’s submission where warranted, but I’m not going to take on an analysis of that brief here – that’s a separate task that will require some effort because that brief is a serious piece of legal analysis that simply sweeps the board of all the pieces Judge Sullivan and the left-wing Anti-Trump/Flynn pundits think are in play.
Instead, I’m going to simply go to some key points in the Sullivan filing – key because they are so outrageous and unsupported by authority – and point out the issues as I see them.
First – and this really surprised me – Wilkinson made a blatant mis-statement of fact on P.1 when she baldly claimed that Judge Sullivan had found the “false statements” made by Gen. Flynn to the FBI were “material.” MORE
If I have learned anything recently it is that black people are infallible.
What do you expect? Just look at him.
to be expected from libtard robe-dindus (see dull-a**, tx). unlike hon. Justice Thomas. & R. Benitez in CA.
In one day, in one move, this bozo revealed what an unintelligent jackass he is.
The poor people who have had this jackass as a judge in their case over the years: imagine how they got screwed.
Flynn managed to make some powerful enemies, they won’t just go away.
Black Lies Matter!
Sullivan’s filing may be a joke, but is it enough to give cover to the circuit court when they rule in his favor?
Nobody’s laughing, though.
Proof that the Judiciary is just as corrupt as the Legislature.
If they defeat or render moot President Trump – we got nuthin.
And if we’re destitute of legal options there’s only force.
The George Floyd Chimp-Out tends to confuse the easily confusable – and we’ll be left with some confusement over opportunistic looting and riot and, conversely, a resurrection of Liberty by We, the People.
(Sullivan’s an annoying pecker-gnat; not even literate enough to pen his own lies to the Circuit)
izlamo delenda est …
It is his white half that is causing him to dither.
If Uncle Ben had a brother…
What is it about a Justice department dismissal of a case that this crackhead judge doesn’t understand?
Are they afraid Flynn will sue his buddies?
