Flynn judge Emmet Sullivan set to explain why he has not dismissed case. Oral arguments are set to take place this week, when U.S.
District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan will have to explain why he has not signed off on the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The hearing marks another extraordinary turn in an extraordinary -- and seemingly interminable -- case that has brought pressure upon both the Justice Department and the judge overseeing it. After calling into question the DOJ’s choice to drop Flynn’s prosecution, Sullivan is now in the position of defending his own decision. “It is unusual for a criminal defendant to claim innocence and move to withdraw his guilty plea after repeatedly swearing under oath that he committed the crime,” Sullivan argued in a court filing, referring to Flynn's past guilty plea of lying to investigators.
“It is unprecedented for an Acting U.S. The D.C. Sullivan himself has now obtained legal counsel. Arguments will take place before a D.C.

Per Twichy, as you know by now, the Department of Justice moved to drop the federal government’s case against Michael Flynn in light of new evidence, but the presiding judge in the case, Judge Emmet Sullivan, has resisted. He opened the case to public comment and appointed a retired judge, John Gleeson, to look into the possibility of trying Flynn for contempt of court for perjury. Gleeson had said he’d have his amicus brief filed by June 10, but on Thursday, a three-judge appeals court panel gave Sullivan until June 1 to explain his reasoning for not dropping the case.
Elusive Government Memo Shows FBI Did Not Think Michael Flynn Intentionally Lied. A Justice Department memo from late January 2017 shows that the FBI did not believe that Michael Flynn intentionally lied in a White House interview at the center of his legal case.

Flynn’s lawyers said that document further warrants a federal judge to drop charges against the retired general. The Justice Department this week provided Michael Flynn’s lawyers with a long-rumored government memo which shows that FBI officials did not believe that the former national security adviser intentionally lied in a White House interview at the center of his legal battle.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters, on Pennsylvania Avenue ocuments, notes, and transcripts continue to be unearthed in the Flynn case.
The latest damning information includes a memo draft from January 2017 in which the DOJ states “FBI Leadership” decided “against showing Flynn transcripts of his calls with the Russian ambassador in the White House interview that led to his guilty plea,” reported National Review. The latest memo was released “along with a batch of handwritten notes” from DOJ and FBI officials surrounding Flynn’s infamous January 24, 2017, White House interview with former FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI agent Joseph Pientka. The notes are further indications that the FBI conducted a “spontaneous” and unnecessary interview with Michael Flynn, who had just started the role of national-security adviser for President Trump.

In other words: Sullivan is trying to go above the three-judge panel and wants another appeals court to rule that he does not have to drop the case against Flynn, The Washington Examiner reported. It seems more than obvious to many that Sullivan wants Flynn to go to jail. “The panel’s decision threatens to turn ordinary judicial process upside down,” Sullivan’s lawyer argued in a 69-page petition to the U.S. The saga continues.
