Here Are The Possible Reasons Mike Flynn’s Judge Hired His Own Attorney

When the Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, it didn’t expect much pushback. Instead, the judge in the case declined the dismissal, opened up a separate investigation into Flynn and hired a high-profile defense attorney for himself.

The district court judge, Emmett Sullivan, has hired attorney Beth Wilkinson to represent him as the Flynn case moves forward, a highly unusual decision for a judge. Wilkinson is known for representing people in high-profile cases; She is the same attorney who represented Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his nomination process.

Sullivan hired Wilkinson after the D.C. Circuit Court ordered him to explain his decision to not immediately dismiss the Flynn case when prosecutors asked that it be dropped.

Constitutional Law Attorney Jenna Ellis, a senior legal advisor to the Trump 2020 campaign, writes that there are several possible reasons Sullivan may have hired an attorney.

First, Sullivan may be concerned that any explanation for his actions could be used against him as proceedings move forward, Ellis wrote for Fox News. Wilkinson is a veteran defense attorney and would be a great help in a prolonged legal battle with the DOJ.

Isn't today the day Sullivan's response to the request from the Circuit Court due?

This is the order from the Circuit Court, in response to Powell's request for a Writ of Mandamus:



Note it is dated May 21, 2020.  Yesterday was the 10th day, and being Sunday the due date is today.

Yes, it is!  See my post upthread.  On 5/21, Sullivan was given 10 days.  I'll bet he ignores the order.

He might be that (IMO) dumb, but that would be likely to precipitate either a writ of mandamus ordering him to dismiss the Flynn case, with a brief deadline, or the Court of Appeals dismissing it.

Did the DoJ file their brief yet?

I haven't seen anything on the Flynn/Sullivan situation yet today, but IIRC, Sullivan was ordered to respond as in his person, while the DOJ was given permission to file an additional brief.

That's what the Order above says.  Is there anything to add to Powell's Motion?
