Judge Sullivan refuses to dismiss the case against General Flynn!

The biggest news today is that the judge in the Flynn case refused to dismiss the case against General Flynn! Here is what Ace of Spades had to say:

Corrupt Judge Sullivan, Who Previously Threatened to Jail Michael Flynn for Treason When He Moved to Withdraw His Guilty Plea, Now Invites Adam Schiff to Step In and Prosecute Flynn
—Ace
Okay that's a fake news headline but it gets at what Sullivan is doing.

What he's doing cannot be shortened to headline length.

Sullivan is saying that there is no actual real court case here because there are not opposing parties in the action -- he is claiming that Barr, due to politics, is on Flynn's side, and you can't have a court hearing with two parties who agree. You need to bring in other parties -- through the amicus curae ("friend of the court") process.

And he's inviting Adam Schiff to file an amicus brief and become, in essence, the actual party opposed to Flynn.

Because Barr is -- there is no way around this insinuation -- is corrupt and his filings must be ignored by the court as rigged or fraudulent.

I suppose a less dramatic reading would be, "Sullivan sees that Flynn and the DOJ both agree that no crime has been committed here, and, for the sake of due diligence, is seeking out a third party who disagrees to give the court a dissenting view."

But then --

Remember, this guy threatened to charge Flynn with a charge he was never before charged with, treason, if he persisted on withdrawing his guilty plea.

And he's not done yet.

Tar, feathers. A rail and a town to ride it out on.

Some assembly required.
