Andrew McCarthy: Flynn judge must explain his astounding and offensive refusal to dismiss charges

By Andrew McCarthy | National Review

Is U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan’s collusion cameo nearing its end?

On Thursday the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, on its own motion, ordered Judge Sullivan to respond within 10 days to the petition for a writ of mandamus filed by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Earlier this week, Flynn’s counsel, Sidney Powell, filed the petition for that extraordinary writ, asking the appellate court to instruct Sullivan to grant the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case against Flynn.

That was after Judge Sullivan not only declined to grant the prosecution’s motion, but (a) invited non-parties to intervene in the case by filing amicus briefs (transparently, to make arguments that he somehow has authority to deny DOJ’s motion); and (b) appointed one amicus, former federal judge John Gleeson, as a quasi-prosecutor to make arguments that prosecutors are declining to make in favor of entering a judgment of conviction and sentencing Flynn.

The big changes here are that:

1. A higher court has stepped in;

2. The higher court is forcing Sullivan to justify his latest process-is-punishment delay and is threatening to end that tactic.

Yes, the Appeals Court seems very receptive to Sydney Powell's Writ of Mandamus.

I know Sullivan is Black and a Judge. That will give him a kind of defacto immunity.
However, I doubt very much that his grant immunity will be enough to save him from this.
He went so far outside the four corners of any Law, he was making up his own Law on the go.
Doubt very much that he will survive this. He gave his career and fell on his sword at the altar of Pelosi and Schiff. Trump must be crushed, At any cost!!!!

@240B

The way *I* see it,is that the end result will be another corrupt judge is removed from the bench and justice prevails,and Trump was responsible for it even though he really had nothing to do with it.

A win by proxy. Does it get any gooder than that?

 With any luck at all,it will make some Dims suicidal.
