Robert Barnes: "I'll Give You a Little Secret.... Judge Sullivan Is As Dumb as a Pile of Bricks"
This guy posts as Barnes Law on Twitter. I believe he represents some of the parents and students of Covington in their defamation cases, but not Nick Sandmann.
I only specify that because I have previously misidentified him as Sandmann's lawyer. Anyway: Barnes says it's "widely known" that Sullivan is "dumb as a pile of bricks," and also widely known that he is almost entirely dependent on his clerks to do his work for him -- which is the reason, Barnes speculates, that he was so absurdly stupid in accusing Flynn of treason. He is dumb, does not read the cases, and barely skimmed the case, and therefore thought that Flynn was somehow implicated in treason. He noted that the Supreme Court just ruled on the maneuver he is attempting, that is, summoning amicus filings in a criminal case. The Supreme Court said "no." Sullivan ignored that, either because he's ignorant as shit, or didn't read the briefing his clerks had written up for him, or because he's so fucking partisan he doesn't care what the law is. As you probably know, this idiot, who is supposedly himself a lawyer, and jurist, and learned judge, had to hire his own fucking lawyer to explain to him what the law is. As others are asking: Does he think the taxpayer should pay for his personal lawyer? Of course he thinks that. Why? Who knows! He's a judge! He gives orders, he doesn't explain himself!Former Whitewater deputy independent counsel Sol Wisenberg told "Bill Hemmer Reports" Tuesday that the Michael Flynn case judge's "highly unprecedented" move to hire a personal attorney could indicate that he's "in trouble.""High profile attorney" means "high cost attorney." So enjoy Ms. Wilkinson's work, everyone: You're paying for her, because this retard knows he doesn't understand the law and needs someone to write his defense for him.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan's decision to retain high-profile attorney Beth Wilkinson comes as the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reviews Sullivan's order not to immediately grant the Justice Department's request to dismiss its case against the former national security adviser.
... "I think what they're [U.S. appeals court] saying, [is] 'Judge, what are you doing? You better explain what you're doing,'" Wisenberg said. "I interpret it as a flashing neon sign ... a wake-up call to him [to] explain what you're about because the moves he's made have been very, very unusual." ... Rather than granting the DOJ's dismissal, Sullivan appointed a retired federal judge to argue against the department's position and to consider whether Flynn needed to be held in criminal contempt for perjury.
"There's no question that what he seemed to be doing was delaying this process," Wisenberg explained, " and ... the D.C. Court of appeals [is] saying, 'You're going against clear law here. What are you doing?'"
Back to the video. Robert Barnes says that Sullivan "does not understand the legal basics," which is why he's had to hire a lawyer to explain to him what the law is. Later in the clip, he discusses the likely outcome in this mandamus hearing. First of all, he thinks there is a "high likelihood" the motion is granted and Sullivan is ordered to dismiss the case. The motion also asks for Sullivan to be recused from the case, and I guess Barnes also means the Court of Appeals will order that as well. He calls the hiring of a private lawyer with taxpayer funds an "abuse of power," and suggests that Sullivan's cavalier decision to do this suggests that this isn't his first abuse of power. Unfortunately, he doesn't think that Sullivan will be suspended by the Court of Appeals or suffer any further consequences beyond the extreme embarrassment of being ordered to do his fuckiing job and also being removed from the case for lack of objectivity. And also: Lack of intelligence. Hopefully the Court of Appeals will read this dumb bunny the riot act, and then this moron's clerks can explain to him what the words in the order mean. Video here and also embedded below.

Hey ace and everybody!
I can absolutely believe Sullvain does next to no work himself, because I've worked in law firms and at a lot of them, that's how the top attorneys operate as well. They do next to no work and delegate everything.
There's too much law to remember on top of that, and it's only human nature to forget most of it. I'd bet that after five years, many top-level attorneys are as stupid as Sullivan undoubtedly is. All they care about knowing is how to accrue absolute maximum billable hours.
A while back I said, there's no end to judge arrogance. There's no end to arrogance in the law field, period.

When I had my short bit of pursuing a career as an attorney before my mama threw a brick at my head to help me come to my senses, I was told judges were people who failed at being a lawyer.
This seems to be ringing true more often than not.

I'm perfectly fine with the act of getting a lawyer to explain your actions as a judge being the moment you are removed from your position and forfeit any and all retirement and benefits.
You're certainly allowed to. That's just what it will cost.

Judge Sullivan will blame his clerks for this fiasco, but he is the one that has to sign everything. I know, I was a law clerk, and while I drafted orders and responses and did research memos I always provided the judge with the material I used, the copies of the case law and statutes and he always read everything through and would ask questions. And the why for what the judge and me did was because his signature was going on the order and it was going to correct according to the law. We wanted nothing coming back to haunt us.

We all know he's an Affirmative Action Judge, we're just too nice to say it.
We had a JP like that here in my town. He had been a local football star and then a Sheriff's Deputy, and he was popular with the votes in his district. Only those who worked in his courtroom could figure out that he could barely read and write, and the JP position in Texas doesn't require a law degree - or any degree, for that matter.
How he decided cases, he would listen to them, pick who he liked, and then ask the winning attorney to write up all the papers and orders in the case for him, which of course the winning attorney loved to do. He would sign them all without reading them.
If you were ever in his court and saw you were up against one of his buddies, you just gave up right there. You'd think attorney's would protest, but those who became his pals loved him more than any other judge in town because guess what, they never lost. Guaranteed.

Judge Sullivan will blame his clerks for this fiasco, but he is the one that has to sign everything. I know, I was a law clerk, and while I drafted orders and responses and did research memos I always provided the judge with the material I used, the copies of the case law and statutes and he always read everything through and would ask questions. And the why for what the judge and me did was because his signature was going on the order and it was going to correct according to the law. We wanted nothing coming back to haunt us.

It's not even a secret that most judges are not the brightest.
I found out a few years ago that a former boss of mine is now a judge and I was horrified because not only is she, well, not bright at all, she is an utter wuss and does not have anything approaching a judicial temperment. She got the position because of family political connections.
I didn't watch yet so I don't know but tons of people are pointing out how can Sullivan have a private lawyer work on this stuff without there being ex parte communication.
I fully expect there to be a motion filed requested an extension of time to file a response. I also *crosses fingers* expect that to be slapped aside.
As far as what consequences will there by for Sullivan? Retiring to a nice appearance contract with CNN and/or MSNBC is my guess. Oh, you mean negative? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, I think there's a lot more to this than a dumb judge. The other side has no problem infiltrating Defense Counsel staff. One could argue that Flynn's first defense team was compromised. Papadopolous actually fired his first defense team in 2018 because he was convinced they were compromised. Why would they stop there when they can rig the game a little better and gain control over the law clerks.

Its why I just shake my head when someone says 'but a judge signed a warrant!' So? Did the judge even read the warrant? Of the 29 FISA warrants examined randomly, all 29 had serious defects. A 100% failure rate by some of the most senior judges in the land.

This is the same Judge Sullivan who was the presiding when the DOJ screwed Alaskan Senator Stevens, right?
So he was completely fooled once and wasn't smart enough to know he was getting played again?
And now he has made up his own charge: Perjury and made up a new definition for Treason.
What an ultra maroon (with apologies to B. Bunny).

His lawyer, Wilkinson, also happens to have represented *4* of Hillary's top aides, including Cheryl Mills, in the email investigation. It was unusual that she was allowed to do that, since it meant that one couldn't be flipped against the others. She's connected.

Update from Minneapolis:
Bus and light rail service suspended city wide until further notice, and my local USPS depot is suspending mail delivery until further notice too.
"Flash looting" pretty steady today, and there's a good chance it'll spread throughout the entire metro area, unless the National Guard is deployed in large numbers. Reports about random Walgreen's and CVS's being attacked in suburbs now.
People are literally traveling in groups of three or four cars without license plates. This looting isn't a bunch of locals on foot and bicycles smashing up big corporate locations.
It's coordinated gangs looking for any untouched stores. It's a fucking gold rush, and the cops aren't mostly unable to stop looting in specific locations because the mobs are too big to contain.

How nice of the Appeals Court to ask the vindictive
dumbf*ck judge to explain himself rather than tell him there is no adequate explanation because he violated all judicial standards and that's that, case dismissed.
*************
To be fair I think that was a statutory requirement, so they have to wait for the judge to provide a response before telling him to go fuck himself.

There is a much more enlightening piece of that interview.
... but I kept getting bad grades and I was like, "What?" But I dug in and found that they had written a template of the "correct" answer and the correct answer was to pretend the law wasn't was it was, to just manipulate quotes from different parts of it, and pretend that it already supported this outcome because the goal was "your outcome is this, so how do I manipulate the history of events and the history of law to pretend the law supports something it doesn't in fact support." And that's what's happening across the country, so a lot of these clerks are really bad. And in Federal court, I'm often battling the clerks, not the judge - unless the judge is an old-school judge who doesn't care what the clerks think and does what they want.

I did all the briefing work when I worked for the psychopaths. All of it, including all the appellate briefs. Some of them took care to read through what I wrote and to go over the cases and the statutes and the research memos I did setting out pros and cons.
Most of them just signed whatever the hell I did.
I took it *very* seriously that what I wrote was what was going to go before the court and to never ever ever do anything to embarrass my bosses.

It's not just a judge. Our gov't is overrun with illiterates. I suffered under one in South Carolina's dept of child protection. The contracts curator was illiterate. Our contracts sat on her desk for months while families languished. My boss and I had to drive to the capital once a month and personally challenge her.
"It's a process" is the ingrained comeback to any polite request for accountability. Or she'd get her put-upon boss to cover for her, give her words to say. The top tier of SC's social services can't hold onto a director for CPS. They run screaming within six months. It's sad, bad and makes me mad. Do NOT let the gov't get involved in your family for any reason. Do NOT get involved in foster care, if you love your own family.

665 Something wrong with the way those people were brought up
Many of them aren't 'brought up', so to speak. Daughter just last week was called in on a case of sexual abuse of a child, mom strung out on drugs, "uncle" drunk and combative, child went to DCFS. She'll likely live out her childhood in foster care, with little stable influence. And she was very very young. Daughter says she has no chance, barring divine intervention.
Posted by: grammie winger
What grammie winger said. This is similar to what you can witness at Angkor Wat. Please note, I am not calling actually people monkeys, just that the methodology of young raising by the parent is similar. There's a series of u-tube videos of the monkeys and how they raise their little tree rat babies based on the monkey pecking order (adult males on top, then adult females, then juvies, then babies) and how that pecking order is turned on its noggin by the damned tourists hand feeding the babies, and then the juvies and adults punish the babies. It's hard to watch, but not quite as hard to watch as a cop kneeling on some dude in handcuffs throat.

They've spent about 3/4s of a century overthrowing the principle of the vote.

I bwahahaha - ed out loud when I saw that earlier today. Co-workers in cubelandia wanted to know what was so funny. I had to punt and say I told myself an NSFW joke that I couldn't repeat at work. That's much better than saying "you're too fucking much of a Karen for me to tell you shit".

Van Jones just said on CNN that white people are all doing to black people what happened to George Floyd and choking off them from success and life everywhere
So ... black people have no agency whatsoever? They're just little leaves floating down the stream of life?
Pro tip: the first step to success and life fulfillment is acknowledging that YOU are the captain of your ship. Making excuses for poor decisions will guarantee your lot in life will never improve. If you dropped out of high school, got mixed up in gangs, and got a criminal record, you can't really blame others for your plight.
Sure, external events can have an impact, but overall, what happens to you (in America, at least) is pretty much down to you.

And this is why people hate lawyers and the court system. Instead of stepping up once in awhile and saying, "No, you can't do that." We get weeks or months of legal wrangling. It's like the stupidity of the Hawaiian judge. SCOTUS should have immediately squashed him.

I actually think they WILL do that, but you have to realize, if they hadn't given him the chance to answer for himself, then they themselves would be open to criticism from the level above THEM. So they are going very carefully, while being as firm as they came.
Also, Legal Time is not Real Person time. 10 days in Legal time is like 5 seconds in Real Person time.

Many of them aren't 'brought up', so to speak. Daughter just last week was called in on a case of sexual abuse of a child, mom strung out on drugs, "uncle" drunk and combative, child went to DCFS. She'll likely live out her childhood in foster care, with little stable influence. And she was very very young. Daughter says she has no chance, barring divine intervention.

I knew a few soldiers in the Army who were foster parents, and they had horror stories about the foster care system. At this point I think it would be kinder to the children to simply take them and place them in boarding schools for a minimum of a year before considering giving them back.

lemme spare you the suspense:
He can't. They can't.
Reading the tea leaves, it looks like Trump is pushing the FTC's ability to punish deceptive business practices. In my unstudied opinion, there's a lot of opportunity there. For example, shadow-banning people is inherently deceptive. Also, having broad rules that make it easy to interpret any behavior you dislike as a contravention to those rules is inherently deceptive.
Trump might be able to force them to have much more narrow rules and make them defend their decisions to ban some and not ban others with punishments for deviations from their rules.

Judges are like military officers--especially above a certain level, they're political animals by necessity. (I'm still not clear whether this is better or worse where judges are elected; maybe it's just a different kind of fucked.)
Posted by: Brother Tim at May 28, 2020 05:03 PM (OUMaO)
Here, let me opine on which is better - elected or appointed judges.
If you elect your judges, then appointed is better.
If you appoint your judges, then elected is better.
I trust the pattern is obvious.
Psychopaths had a federal case that went to trial and the presiding judge was on senior status which is eh sorta retired but we haul you in when the docket is too full.
Judge was 78. He made a WILDLY inappropriate comment to the court reporter who did the smart thing and didn't respond at all. I'm talking a comment for which she would have been well within her rights to slug him.
To all of their credit, both my bosses and the two lawyers for the defense all objected immediately to the comment. Judge's response? What are you gonna do, I'm 78, I'm on senior status, and they won't ever get rid of me.
It made me wonder just what all said judge had been up to with his clerks over the years.

Yes, Minneapolis is in for a fun night again.
This is what is really scary though,
The local news is reporting protests and crowds in several other cities, both in the Twin Cities, and nationally in LA and Memphis.
Here in Minnesota, Governor Walz is still waffling about the MN National Guard. They might be activated and available some time tomorrow.

The deep state operates without compunction, up to and including the use of force against individuals and the destruction of their lives.
Just because only one side shoots, it's doesn't mean it's a "cold" war. They're in open war against the American people.

302 Hubby's flooring business is really hurting right now. He is being stiffed $6000 in payment by a customer who won't answer calls or messages. In order to make payroll he is dipping into our savings we were putting away to build our forever house. If you all could think about us I would appreciate it. Trying not to be selfish because I know other people are hurting even more.

recommend repossession of the flooring. even if it will cost him labor to do so.
Posted by: BifBewalski at May 28, 2020 05:14 PM (VcFUs)
In Texas, the move would be a Mechanics Lien, may be named something else in other states. Property cannot be sold, no loans can be taken out, until the Mechanics Lien is paid.

Michael Brown was a thug who deserved it, but Floyd didn't. He was outright murdered.
-------
Exactly. One dude robbed a convenience before assaulting a cop. The other one hung some dirty paper, got busted, was subdued, and then was killed in the altercation after that.
Totally different shit.

Nobody commented on this on the morning thread but one of the worst race riots on record happened in OKC, when the black people rioted because the police killed a young white man in custody, and thought that bored badly for black people "if the cops can kill a white boy".
No black American is going to find me saying that they're imagining *everything*, because I don't do absolutes. But there is a documented case of a race riot based on what a group of blacks *feared* might be the import.

I have a good friend that had a mechanical contracting firm. A big tycoon that has something to do with Beanie Babies stiffed him and that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Of course that was after his shop unionized and his top two guys did that. He was a great boss that his wife bitched about because he would pay for vacations for his top workers and they didn't ever go.
My experienced opinion is that unless your husband sees light at the end of the tunnel, confirmed light, then shut it down. Don't go throwing good money after bad. Employees are out for themselves, the owners of small businesses should be too.

So the Governor of Minnie-Soda can issue orders making everyone stay home and wear masks and close businesses all over the state, effectively declaring martial law for a couple months.
But when his cities are overrun with looters and arsonists, he can't decide if he should call out the National Guard.
OMG 100,000 dead! 100,000!
Why doesn't he order his men to go out and arrest them all for violating his lockdown orders! 90 days in jail! $1000 fine!
Hmmmmmm.
This clown should be the next Democrat candidate for President, or at LEAST be considered for the VP slot in the Biden campaign.

This reminds me, literally, of Governor Blanco waffling at the begining of the Katrina disaster. "Oh what to do, what to do." Bush's big fuck up was that he decided to "respect her authority" as a Governor when he should have publicly pronounced what an idiot she was being and sent everyone in immediately. Instead, all the relief forces spent the most critical 24 hours at the beginning standing around with their thumbs up their asses.

It's worse than that. Some guy came out with a sledgehammer and started smashing police cruiser windshield. Tires slashed. By the time the local commander authorized non-lethal ammunition and tear gas, the mob had already started spreading throughout the surrounding shopping center.

One thing that is being ignored in all of this, is what happens in an economy where businesses are failing.
Some other companies--especially big ones--participate in making their suppliers fail. They simply don't pay them and wait until they go under.

By the way - IF Minnesota's government response to actual looting, burning, rioting, is the response that would have occurred if there had been riots over wearing masks and social distancing it's pretty clear the totalitarian takeover REQUIRES us to go along with it completely, or it would fail completely.
Pay attention, social unrest is social unrest, whether it's because some guy was murdered (yes he was) by the police, or because a whole shitload of people said "we ain't following your orders on this Covid bullshit".
And you can see how big talking assholes in the government of Minnesota respond to masses of people ignoring their rules and breaking their laws.

I do love that podcast about Sullivan - reading between the lines, it's what I always suspected about him, and Barnes is sitting there saying "yup, it's exactly what you thought."
We get caught up in thinking everything is the result of deep plots and counterplots, when the reality of a lot of this is that we're going up against a bunch of the most stupid m____f___
s on the planet. Oh, they're politically biased all right, but right in this case, Sullivan's reasoning is gonna come down to "Huh? Nobody told me I couldn't do that."

@374: "Kind of a fact-free account of the facts there. Not that I care about Klobuchar's troubles."
I think the Guardian did a longer write up of the situation. Klobuchar wasn't just a random DA at the time. She was the Hennepin County Attorney with full oversight of city prosecutions. Any police officer involved fatalities surely crossed her desk at some point or another. Long story short, she was an integral part of the city government including the mayor, police chief, city council, etc., and there were whispers about her "problematic" prosecutorial record during the primaries, long before this most recent incident.

Are you talking about this case here, the one in Minnesota?
I've only seen about 20 seconds of video, so I don't know, but there's talk of the cop's facial expression.
I know there was the case in St. Louis, guy clipped the cop's car, I think, then a chase, with the cop's audio saying "I'm going to kill this guy." They managed to stop the car somehow, cop gets out of the car, the window is lowered, and the cop puts his weapon inside the window, shoots the guy however many times.
After the shooting, other cops drag the dead guy out of the car. Meanwhile, the shooter cop returns to HIS car, is seen on video rifling through his "go bag," emerges from his car, then GETS INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT OF THE DEAD GUY'S CAR!
Case went to trial. A bench trial. Cop was acquitted.

Actually a lot more damage to society from the "smart" legal cult members, overall. But ultimately it's the voters who allow the entire mess to continue, via the nearly non-existent Congress they tolerate (even "support").

Third day in a row Dan Bongino closes his podcast with a segment of Cuomo killing thousands of people in nursing homes. Today's story he has erased his original order from the Dept of Health website, and is now blaming nursing homes for obeying his order to take Covid-19 patients. Also how he cooked the books to not count nursing home patients who were evacuated to hospitals and died there instead of in the nursing homes.
Dan is a pitbull, he has hold of Cuomo's ankle and won't let go.

@376: "Is anyone short-selling Target?"
Target is Minneapolis based, and has always been seen as a little more bougie than K-Mart, Walmart, etc. It's a perfect, ahem, target for the Marxist class warfare types around here. These riots and looting are more than just racial strife.
In some political aspects, Minneapolis has more in common with Portland and Seattle than Milwaukee and Chicago.

And there are protests across the entire metro area.

Wilkinson specializes in criminal defense, I believe.
That would explain why Kavanaugh hired her -- he was being accused of a crime, or quasi-crime.
It doesn't explain why Sullivan hired her, unless for some reason he's expecting to need a defense attorney in the near future.

404 Wolfus, supposedly restaurants can open up in my neck of the woods, but the locations themselves won't go for it. I guess they don't trust some functionary to come in and find some 'discrepancy' or 'problem' that could get them fined, shuttered and harassed into oblivion.

As to why to target Target, the local identification/high profile and the experimental store with inventory control "grievance" seem as likely as anything else, other than Target trending preppier, and therefore "whitey".
What better indication than all the virtue signaling and fashion pretenses and so on that Target is Really Really Unbelievably White?

This reminds me, literally, of Governor Blanco waffling at the begining of the Katrina disaster. "Oh what to do, what to do." Bush's big fuck up was that he decided to "respect her authority" as a Governor when he should have publicly pronounced what an idiot she was being and sent everyone in immediately. Instead, all the relief forces spent the most critical 24 hours at the beginning standing around with their thumbs up their asses.

Why? This isn't an Act of God, this is made up of men doing criminal acts. This is up the governor's alley until he proves himself incompetent to handle the situation.

Because in THIS case this isn't a natural disaster, this is a shitshow brought about by the incompetence of the Minneapolis City Govm't. So let he Mayor and the Governor own it completely!!! They have all the authority they need to deal with it, no reason for Trump to get involved at all.

Target is a big box anchor for many urban shopping areas.
The Cub Grocery store two blocks away was also looted, and they looted everything all around them too. Dollar stores, cell phone, clothing, liquor stores, charter schools, they even burnt down the Wendys along with Auto Zone, a warehouse, and a huge low income housing apartment building that was under construction.
They looted individual businesses for miles up and down Lake Street, which is/was a major commercial boulevard.

I'm tired of this, and of practically everything else. Normally I'd go out to dinner -- but we can't. I can drive someplace for the fun of it, but then I'll just have to turn around and come back home; I can't stop at a coffee shop or a restaurant for lunch. Some places are open here and some aren't -- it seems random.

CA is big on MLs - its one way to get paid for sure. CA allows an ML on the contractor, the person who contracted the contractor, and on the land that the work is being done on, even if not owned by either...works pretty well.

"In 2006, Chauvin was one of several officers involved in the shooting death of a man who stabbed others before turning on the police.
Although Klobuchar was the Hennepin county attorney at the time of an October 2006 police shooting involving Chauvin, she did not prosecute and instead the case went to a grand jury that declined to charge the officers with wrongdoing in 2008."

I have a friend who teaches high-school math in an inner-city school. He had about 20% of his 300 students participating in COVID-inspired distance learning. The school decided that the other 80% were too disadvantaged to take part so they're shutting down the distance learning and 100% OF STUDENTS GET A 'C' AND PASSED ON TO THE NEXT GRADE!
Even the kids who showed up and did the work - they get a C unless he can prove that they did some "extraordinary" work that merits an exception.

Serious legal question about Judge Sullivan hiring an outside attorney to represent him regarding the Flynn case. Is not Sullivan's communications with Wilkinson an improper ex parte communication? Sullivan presumably is communicating private information about a case before him to an outside party whose interest in the outcome has not been vetted? How is this not unethical behavior by a judge?

I'm sure the NYC Bar Association and NY State Bar Associations will race each other to see which can invite Judge Sullivan for some "Honoring the Justice" program first.
Recent "honorees" include: Sally ("How 'Bout the Logan Act?") Yates, and NY Attorney General Letitia ("I'll go after Trump's family") James.
