Not sure how it can go "worse" for Judge Sullivan compared to Barr. He has a lifetime appointment to the Federal Bench. Barr serves at the pleasure of the President and has to deal with the political pressure of being a political appointee while also subject to Congressional oversight. It is possible that Barr ends up like Edwin Meese if he continues down this road. Sullivan, not so much.

You are suffering from a severe case of TDS.
Corrupt dictatorship, that’s the majority of the Democratic Party and the reason why they quickly need and have to regain power. They feel it has to be done prior to the next election since they can’t risk another loss!

Trump is hands off, that's laughable. He cant go a few minutes without tweeting making some comment about the case. Clnton and Reagan were silent for most of their investigations, Trump cant stop himself. Barr even stated as much when he said that Trump makes it difficult for him to do his job.

Mueller and Weismann said Flynn lied about Russian sanctions according to the "draft" Page & Strozk composed after many edits, in the call from Ambassador Kislyak.

The problem is.... Sanctions WHERE NEVER DISCUSSED IN THE Kislyak CALL. They indicted him for something they knew never happened. Then lied about the cover up they were involved in.
January 5th, 2017 is an important day.

I've seen many sources indicating he discussed sanctions but haven't seen the transcripts. Why did he ask for help from other staff members if that wasn't the case, the FBI had the tapes that could prove his claim.

White House adviser Hope Hicks testified to House investigators in 2018 that Flynn had sought to enlist her and other Trump aides in backing Flynn’s false claims that he had not discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador.
Hicks said Flynn did so after questions about his Kislyak call were raised in a January 2017 Washington Post op-ed column by David Ignatius, according to a transcript released Thursday by the House Intelligence Committee. Flynn emailed Hicks, his then-deputy K.T. McFarland and others saying the Ignatius report “is not accurate, what can be done?” Hicks testified.

The Flynn 302, released by Mueller


The call to Kislyak happened on Dec. 29th. the transcript was first looked at if it was Jan.4th, the day before the big meeting and Steele Bleech-Bit is entire e-mail.

Again, you don't know the law. The court now lacks jurisdiction because there is no case or controversy, the court is usurping the power of the executive branch, and the DC Circuit has recently held that mandamus is warranted in a situation like this.

Read the Fokker opinion.

The DOJ can’t have the case dismissed without Judge Sullivan’s approval. It’s, quite literally, in plain black and white in the FRCrP. You are totally clueless on this subject, apparently. They are at the sentencing phase of a live case/controversy.

The Judge has taken on the role of the Prosecutor. Nothing wrong here folks.... Move along

None of which answers my question but it very well might be smothered in there somewhere.
