Incompetent Lunatic Judge Emmit Sullivan Waits Two Weeks To Ask For a Reconsideration of His Bullshit Position

Today is the day that Emmit Sullivan is required by law -- by a mandamus directive from the Court of Appeals that oversees him -- to dismiss the Flynn case.

Instead of doing so, he asks for an en banc review, less than two hours before the End of Business Day deadline.

He could have made this request at any time over the past two weeks.

But he waited until almost the 5pm deadline.

The theory that this cocksucker is just trying to stall this case out so that a Biden DOJ can revive the case is getting stronger.

The judge in Michael Flynn's criminal case asked a federal appeals court Thursday to reconsider its ruling ordering him to dismiss the criminal case against the former national security advisor to President Donald Trump.

Judge Emmet Sullivan's lawyer asked for a so-called en banc review of the decision of the three-judge appeals court panel, which would involve all active judges on the court to re-hear the case.

The lawyer for Sullivan argued in a lengthy court filing that the order to quickly grant the Department of Justice's request to drop its prosecution of Flynn "threatens to turn ordinary judicial process upside down."

You know what turns ordinary judicial process upside down? A rogue judge deciding he's now a member of the Executive branch with the power to appoint his own personal prosecutor.

I don't expect the Court to grant this motion. I expect them to quickly send along another mandamus order telling him that he is in breach of the first one.

There are two reasons why: First, granting an en banc review is rare.

But second -- any judge on the Circuit Court, including the Obamabot who dissented in the ruling, could have asked for an en banc hearing at any time. That is, a member of the court can ask for an en banc hearing of their own volition.

If there were six votes (I think that's the required number) in favor of such a motion, the en banc hearing would be scheduled.

Indeed -- I think it would have already been scheduled.

But it wasn't.

I assume that the Obamabot judge did ask for a rehearing -- and failed to collect the required number of votes to have one.

I think this cocksucker lunatic was hoping the court would act on its own to schedule an en banc rehearing, not wanting to further piss them off. Today he realized they weren't going to -- so he sent along his dilatory motion for a rehearing, less than two hours before he is directed, by law, to dismiss the case.

If the court is going to have to entertain this cocksucker's shenanigans again, I think they should reopen discussion about whether it's time to reassign the Flynn case to someone with the constitutionally-required level of judicial dispassion and objectivity.

Robert Barnes said the court did not do that because that truly is humiliating -- a superior court straight-up saying you lack the emotional maturity to judge a case. A ruling like that will also haunt you throughout what remains of your career, as defendants can cite a previous ruling that you were unfit to serve as a judge to disqualify you from their cases.

It's time. They've given this slow-witted scumbag enough leeway. It's time to officially deem him the insane vindictive hyperemotional would-be tyrant that he is.

Thanks to deplorable unperson.

Update: Houstonian doesn't think it's a big deal that Sullivan filed this just before the deadline, and doesn't think it means much that the court itself did not already vote for an en banc review:

67 Not that I'm any fan of Judge Sullivan. The criticism of him trying to act as an Executive while in judicial robes is spot-on.

But the filing two hours before the deadline is just lawyers being lawyers. Especially if the filing document is, as the excerpt says, "lengthy".

And while judges can initiate an en banc review, the vast majority of requests for en-banc reviews come from the side disappointed in what the three-judge panel did.

I wouldn't consider a last-moment request for an en banc to be particularly sinister. Just an everyday occurrence.

But, as said above, Sullivan trying to appoint his own prosecutor is absolutely horrendous.

Yeah, this was my thinking.

I got the sense early that Sullivan knew he wasn't getting the support from the higher court that he wanted.

I guess institutionalism and power within the institution is stronger to some of these people than politics.

36 Oh reassignment would be humiliating.

Bullshit.

Will he lose a days pay? Nope. It would mean nothing.

The three judge panel should have done it. Instead they played along. They gave his argument merit by giving him the ability to promote it in writing and in oral arguments.

The decision was 2-1 so a different mix of judges could go differently. The en banc will be a different mix. A mix dominated by Democrat nominees.

They can give Sullivan the ability to prosecute Flynn.

Then Katie bar the door.

I dunno. My belief is that the court must itself issue some kind of stay, for there to be a stay. that is, there is no automatic stay. They'd have to grant a stay, affirmatively.

That's my guess based on general impressions.

So, what happens if there is no stay by 5pm? I don't know.

84 Yep, if there were enough votes for an en banc re-hearing, they'd have already scheduled one on their own motion by now. I was kind of expecting to see one the first week, but when that passed, I just assumed the votes were not there. Not too surprising, given that the case law is pretty clear that trial judges don't have the authority to prosecute cases on their own, or to conduct investigations into the government's reasons for dismissing a prosecution. But given that this is 2020 and insanity reigns everywhere, nothing would surprise me.

86 Everything Sullivan is doing is without precedent. Never been done. The rules don't even contemplate such roguish behavior so they don't expressly forbid it. They don't allow it, either.

The appeals court instead of slapping Sullivan down and telling him to stay in his lane decided to say the argument had enough merit that we will listen to it.

Now it is about to become precedent. Political judges will pursue political rivals.

91 While there's merit to your theory about waiting on a sua sponte order to hear this en banc, ace, no sale. There is pressure being brought to bear on these Deep State operatives in black right now to string this out. Given these corrupt hacks all live in the Imperial City, peer pressure easily could work.

Hope that is wrong. If it isn't wrong, remember the litany, which should apply anyway:

1. Discourage all friends and particularly close family from joining the military or reupping;
2. Engage in jury nullification; and
3. Get ready.

I knew a guy who had been in the National Guard for 24 years. Never rose above E-4, and when his unit was about to be deployed, they said "yeah, now seems like a good time for you to retire."

He tried to fight it.

105 ep, if there were enough votes for an en banc re-hearing, they'd have already scheduled one on their own motion by now. I was kind of expecting to see one the first week, but when that passed, I just assumed the votes were not there. Not too surprising, given that the case law is pretty clear that trial judges don't have the authority to prosecute cases on their own, or to conduct investigations into the government's reasons for dismissing a prosecution. But given that this is 2020 and insanity reigns everywhere, nothing would surprise me.

154 As I understood the reasoning on the Appeals court; One of the Democrats (there are 7 on the court) is part of the precedent case that Sullivan refuses to acknowledge/answer to. So they are expected to NOT join in a 6 vote for a full hearing.

The OTHER 6 Demcrats will most likely not vote for similar reasoning as they don't want to piss off that other Democrat judge so it is very unlikely the thinking goes that any 6 judges will vote for a full hearing.

So Mr. Pimp Moustache Sullivan is doing exactly that; trying to run out the time but even so there's too much time to go. He hasn't got many more stalling steps.

I think he's just pissed at Flynn for putting him in this position (altho it's really the deep state who did it) and he's going to wring the last bit of anxiety out of Flynn before he has to let him off.

PLUS. His pal Obama has given him his marching orders. There may be a last ditch thing that can be done but for whatever reason it's going to take some time OR maybe Obama just wants to have the bad news put off as long as possible. Maybe hoping for a nationwide race war?

And btw no matter what happens from now on even if the Appeals court doesn't make this about him at another hearing, He's screwed and he knows it. He won't get anymore good cases. They set him aside and make his life miserable without being overt until he gets the message to resign.

Who knows maybe he'll resign in protest before he has to sign the order. Would that work? Some lawyers out there say if so or not.

Trump can't pardon him now. Flynn is under a gag order imposed by the Court and has been for over 18 months. If Trump pardons him that gag order is still in effect until the Judge removes it.


That is why sullivan is playing out the clock on this. Once the case against Flynn is dropped, the gag order goes away too and Flynn spills his guts.


They literally have to keep this going on as long as possible to prevent Flynn from speaking.

Each day this is dragged out is another day the Judge can hold Flynn in contempt of Court if he speaks out, and he is banking on that happening.

Yep. I'm leaning toward what Buzzion suggested because it would allow for maximum running out the clock. We live in a corrupt, increasingly backwards police state, but even this takes the cake. Flynn either knows something and his prosecution is keeping him quiet, or they think he knows something and his prosecution is keeping him quiet. The man is a patriot but surely he realizes at this point this is not the same country he served. Go ahead and tell us, Gen. Flynn.

Houstonian, I agree completely with your post, but I have a different question/issue: why does Sullivan have standing to even ask for an en banc hearing? The parties to this case are Flynn and the USA, not Sullivan. He is just the trial judge. Trial judges get reversed and ordered to do things by appellate courts every day. Since when did they have a right to whine to an en banc court and ask for an en banc hearing? Other than thinking that he's God Almighty and obviously being an emotionally immature person who can't handle not getting his way, what makes him so special that he gets to appeal the reversal of his own decision by a higher court?

230 A Civil War at this time of the country's history would be very difficult.

During the last one we had numerous ways to identify those who most likely had Southern Confederacy leanings.

You could almost pick your target from a distance. Identifying them by skin color, clothes, location and up close accent.

This time around it would be such a mix of those that only intimate personal knowledge of their philosophy or their actually fighting for one side or another would be proof enough.

It would be very very bad.

I believe it would be like the Irish Troubles more than a war.

Internecine strife, murder, bombings, sniping and general impulsive mayhem.

Functionally how could a judges gag order have any effect or force once a pardon is issued?


A pardon ends the case, ends the judges role, makes it null and void along with a gag order.


Now these are extraordinary of limitless lawlessness and Judge Smalls may tray to make more mischief?


But I would have to see some precedent for continued judicial gag orders after the issuance of a pardon.

232 We will grant the motion for en banc rehearing and provide counsel for Judge Sullivan the opportunity for a hearing before the full court after the August vacation period.

We will then rule that the three-judge panel acted prematurely in issuing a writ of mandamus before Judge Sullivan even ruled on the motion for dismissal.

The unwillingness to trust the judgment of a black man by the three-judge panel is one of the hallmarks of systemic racism that is ingrained in every nook and cranny of American life.

Judge Sullivan will then be permitted to set a court schedule as he sees fit and consider whatever evidence he desires before issuing a final ruling on the motion to dismiss at his leisure, and only after such a ruling has issued will the Circuit Court entertain appeals by the parties.

Final disposition on this case is set for: The Twelfth of Never.

You don't know lawyers very well, do you?
________________

LOL, that's right. It's costing Flynn plenty. Sydney Powell has to spend time reading the judge's motion, she'll probably have to write a motion of her own, she may go on t.v. to talk about it, and if the re-hearing is granted she'll have to spend more hours on that. I know Flynn has a legal defense fund, but I don't know how much it has raised so far. He reportedly has more than $6 million still owing to Covington & Burling, his original lawyers in his fiasco. In any event, this will keep the meter running on Flynn's legal bill, which is an outrage, considering the case should have been dismissed long ago.

253 Yes, its about delay but I don't think a possible Biden election is the key here. Its just that something about the Flynn case is delaying action by the Department of Justice, for some reason. I do not understand what it is. But they delayed announcing "we're coming after you" and several major steps until the case was dropped, then it went silent and stalling started again once the judge kept it going.

Pretty much the only scenario I see, right up until the point that some Army Units get pulled into getting involved (which will happen if the mayhem gets bad enough) and then it becomes something like the English Civil War of the 1640's, or the Spanish Civil War of the 1930's. And the outcome will depend on who ends up in charge of most of the military, just like those did.

The 1st American Civil War was really quite an anomaly, being so geographically based. It really should be called a Rebellion.

271 When Democrats place their assets in a position to benefit their goals, they use those assets. They ALWAYS use those assets.

For them, this is a hill to die on. All stops will be pulled. And they WILL use those assets. Such an approach is what distinguishes the Left from the Right. The Right is always concerned with optics. The Left never is because they know the optics will be blunted by favorable media coverage.

Get ready for an En Banc. The Obama/Clinton appointees on that Court outnumber those placed there by the true Right. Even the Bush appointees are especially questionable.

This isn't "Lawyers being Lawyers." It is a carefully orchestrated tactic. Stall, wear down the Right, then lower the hammer.

Flynn is in deep shit right now, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. The rest of the Court won't sit it out, because they have been instructed that this one matters.

275 215, Nope, District Court judges have been sitting in prison until they were finally removed from office. Course they still get paid and get benefits but Judge Sullivan, if he commits a crime, can be prosecuted and sentenced to serve in prison for that crime.

Another District Court judge has the indignity of having all cases removed from him and no further cases assigned until he finally resigned. He was a serial sexual harassment dude. A circuit judge also abruptly retired on the West Coast for similar reasons.

According to the brethren in black today, Sullivan can be investigated via executive proctology exams just like any other citizen via subpoena regarding the favorable treatment of his child. Just as Justice Robert's curious adoption of children can be investigated etc. All of their taxes, their dirty little soirees at legal publishers as emoluments, etc.

All it requires is the willingness to go to the mattresses by the executive and willing subordinates.

In game theory, when a branch continues to color outside of its lines of authority, then the only solution is to give it to that branch until it is sick of it. In this case, endless lawfare and investigations and warrantless surveillance leaked to the press.

"What I know is that our military commanders on the ground did not think that it was as serious a problem as the newspapers were reporting and television was reporting," Powell told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. "It got kind of out of control before we really had an understanding of what had happened. I'm not sure we fully understand now."

He added: "But [commander of U.S. Central Command] General [Kenneth] McKenzie ... he did not think this was of that level of importance to us. Remember, it's not the intelligence community that's going to go fight these guys, it's the guys on the ground. It's our troops. It's our commanders who are going to go deal with this kind of a threat, using intelligence that was given to them by the intelligence community.

Yeah, the FBI was a lot more "determined" then to stop the Weathermen, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the Black Panthers, etc.

And the judiciary was, in part, compromised in those days, too, which was "part" of the reason for a lot of warrantless surveillance.
The Viet Nam War was very unpopular in a lot of places up through 1975, which gave the Anarchists a big ocean to swim in, and not be found (college campuses, etc, all over).
But in those days, people had real landlines that were easier to access and listen in on.

People rise up when they feel actual oppression.

I love it when lefties use the French Revolution as a model because the people of France were dirt, dirt poor. They were run over in the streets by the aristocracy that taxed them to literal death in order to fund their lavish lifestyles.

When the American people largely never have to worry about their next meal and don't really fight the elements, there's not going to be a lot of appetite for revolution.

Statistically, that period was much more violent. Now, it is a bit less violent but *way* more widespread. They threw bombs, but if you disagreed with them your life continued more or less uninterrupted (unless you got hit with a bomb, of course).

Now, though, that is not true. They're not throwing bombs, but they'll destroy you - *you* personally - if you don't bend the knee (sometimes literally). Disagree with them? Your job is gone. Your house is picketed. You'll be driven to the margins and personally ruined. If you keep misbehaving, they'll physically hurt you. If you retaliate, the state will destroy you on their behalf.

It is less objectively violent, but it is much more widespread, personal, powerful and destructive this time around.

The Mark Felt guy named Deepthroat ended up a felon because of the crap done under his watch as assoc. director in Cointelpro

This is in part why the FISA law was created which has promptly been used as justification for similar surveillance and actions using the old FARA act. Only this is judicially approved by the brethren in black robes.

In essence, the FBI has always been a secret police agency at it core with the addition of a smorgasbord of other federal laws. Imagine MI-5 and Scotland Yard had a baby.

Thing is the country has changed. Demographically we're quite different. Much more of the population does not subscribe to classical American values and make it their aim NOT to assimilate. The proportion of Socialist/Communist mentality is higher and, attributable to the nation as a whole due to several factors (like cation), there's less allegiance to the nation as originally constructed.

This is a very different time than even just forty years ago. America's ability to survive and resist a Cass Sunstein "nudge" is much less than we think.

Anyone who actually tampers with that in a material or physical sense is gonna have a bad time.

He not only worked in the Obama administration he did so at a very senior level and as the DIA he saw pretty much everything. That's why Obama had him set up and fired and tried to warn Trump off from hiring him.

There was at least one other person he trusted, Adam Lovinger, the guy who outed Stefan Halper. He was supposed to join the NSC at the invitation of Flynn.

Instead he was stripped of his security clearance and fired. Not much in the way of whistleblower protection.

420 I'll say this once more: Bill Barr was hired to make a deal with the deep state.

The deal is for all the major principals to get their pensions and no jail time. Trump gets exonerated publicly (there may be more to come) and is not harassed by the IC as much or any more. (that doesn't mean other branches won't do so).

Durham is part of that deal. Slow walking the investigation until it doesn't matter anymore. Either Trump is elected or not. Either way the harassment slows or stops.

Trump comes out and says in the interests of healing the nations government branches the investigations and possible indictments will be put on hold under seal.

Everyone comes out on stage and does a happy dance.

If Trump isn't elected, Joey biden and his puppeteers know that Trump knows where the body's are buried so they let him go in peace. (Southern District Of New York may or may not)

We'll be too busy fighting to care at that point.

Sullivan is so effing political that he would deny a man the right to appeal his sentence to a higher court, and so denied Flynn due process.

Is he being paid off to be an asshole, or do they have him on tape sodomizing a 12 year old? Clearly, it's one or the other.

In this case it is his son they have on tape.

well, jokes on Sully since Jensen keeps finding embarassing papers from the obama coup team. I mean, this would be good if liberals were capable of embarassment.

I think the funnier thing is that Sullivan may get pinged by the appeals court as "no longer functional" whatever that term is ... by his actions.

retired...or emeritus?

455 I can't understand the SCOTUS tax return decision that came down. Not a figure of speech-- I honestly don't understand it in the sense of: "So he has to send tedious paperwork ["not imminently" -NBC] to House Democrats who probably already have pieces of it from both their sleeper cells and brownshirts in Treasury; what difference at this point does it make"

Supposedly it bears on the Stormy Daniels/Karen MacDougal hush monies. Wow, that's an urgent 2015 news story. I guess nothing else is going on right now? SCOTUS throws it back to lower courts. OK. Sort of "dog bites man," isn't it?

I do realize Orangelord Getting Dissed is a certified DECFON 1 to dainty boys like Matt Drudge & his current intern; but practically -- and I got no insight from the NBC article on this -- what happens now that hasn't already gone on for nearly 4 years (and will, I suppose, continue 4, 5, 50 more years if Trump is re-elected, and John Roberts's cryonic mech strikes down Trump's cryonic mech's immunity)? Seems like the national level version of Wisconsin Democrats vs. Scott Walker, every day. That is just the situation now.

457 Lifetime appointments to the SCOTUS obviously need to go, along with re-election for any President/Senator. Reduce to 15 years for the former and re-organize the latter on a sexennial schedule. If someone says "Constitution" to that I will loff

459 Late to the thread. I am not sure how many know but in two high profile cases, once involving retired judge schiedlin and the other judge garaufis, the Second Circuit removed them from the high profile cases for animosity towards the government (within the last 10 years, I wanna say while Obama was president). So judges getting pulled from cases for not playing by the judicial rulebook is not unheard of out here.

460 Just coincidental Sullivan is acting bizarre. Epstein did not kill himself, and, Deep State FBI immediately bleached Pedo Island down to bedrock. The deep state has Epstein's black mail videos. The deep state is terrified of a Flynn audit. The deep state will do anything to shackle Flynn. Sullivan is acting bizarre.QED.

463 Sorry, I disagree with the consensus that the entire circuit court will not take the case. In fact, I believe there is collusion between the Dem judges on the court and Sullivan, and that they are slow-walking the entire process. The big kerfuffle about how the court rarely grants en banc, along with the so-called reasoning that the Obama judge, Wilkins, would have requested en banc himself is a smokescreen. In fact, the goal is to keep Flynn on the hook AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, so they waited until the LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT (a couple of hours) before the deadline before ensuring that Sullivan could request en banc.

For let's be clear: There are seven DEM judges and five GOP judges on the circuit court. Furthermore, one of the GOP judges actually worked for Trump early in his presidency, at the same time Flynn was NatSec, so he would have to recuse himself from the case, making 7 Dem judges and 4 GOP judges.

Now we have to wait on the deadline for the court to give their decision to hear the case en banc...WHICH THEY WILL GRANT. The will do it as LATE AS POSSIBLE, and further delay the actual hearing, possibly to August or September. And if they overturn the 3-judge ruling, then Flynn will have no choice but to take it to SCOTUS, and unfortunately, a ruling cannot happen until after the inauguration, let alone election in November.
So that's what is going to happen...bank! (Pun angrily intended.)

464 The Republic Party does not want Flynn to spill the beans. They have been in league with the Dems since before Day 1.

There is no opposition party.

It definitely was worse.

BUT

back then the public was unified in that it WAS horrible and needed to be stopped. The Far Left was just as loud and violent, but they were a pimple on the ass of the American population.

Today, we have GENERATIONS of Americans who hate their country, hate white people not on their side, and want to murder/destroy the fabric of society. MILLIONS of people.

It may have been worse, but no way was it scarier. We've got a serious reckoning on the way.

Posted by: The Two Yoots at July 10, 2020 10:26 AM (6MoD2)

467 Wouldn't a judge insisting on a prosecution after the prosecutor formally dropped the charges pretty much HAVE to recuse himself due to bias? Especially after showing the insistence that Sullivan has?
How would an appeals court not find the trial judge in this case so far out of bounds as to invalidate any additional "trial" from this point forward?
