In the Flynn case, his very able attorney Sidney Powell has filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus with the DC Circuit to put an end to this clown show. Go here to read the Petition. She is asking the DC Circuit to order the trial court to immediately grant the motion to dismiss filed by the government, vacate the order allowing amicus curiae (friend of the court briefs) and to have the case reassigned to a new trial judge for any further proceedings. These are unusual remedies to say the least, but considering the bizarre antics of the trial court, go here to read all about them, they are completely justified. Judge Sullivan, and his manifest contempt for the law which he is supposed to be a neutral finder of, helps explain how this nation got Trump, and why he needs to be re-elected. His tenure has demonstrated the willingness of elites like the Judge to cast away any and all standards in their crusade against Orange Man Bad.
Yes, President Trump is a direct result of the abandonment of the rule of law by the Left, lead by Obama himself. Voters wisely understood we needed a fighter to combat this attack on the foundation of our Republic, not another milquetoast RINO and certainly not Mrs. Cattle Futures.
I have a suspicion Sullivan was always a mediocrity and now he’s a mediocrity getting senile.
We have a proximate relation diagnosed with ‘moderate cognitive decline’, around which point a occupational license he held was revoked by a state disciplinary board. Family members had noticed problems for three years and change at that point and a year earlier a member of his staff had given his wife a precis of problems the office had been facing. Retrospectively, we can see there were signs 11 years ago that all was not right. This sort of thing can go on a long time before an acute problem forces a resolution.
What’s interesting is watching partisan Democrats defend travesties like this. If you’re a person of a certain age (that is, you began reading newspapers prior to 1992 or thereabouts), you remember when the Democratic Party was an agglomeration of people who tended to have a predictable perspective on policy questions (the Dixicrat segment excepted). They don’t care about policy anymore. They never had robust procedural principles and what they did have is now gone. Now, they’re just interested in injuring anyone of a menu of people deemed class enemies. Maintaining constitutional government in such an environment is going to be challenging. I don’t think this will end well.
