The Circuit Court Order is “rare” because they had several options and chose the most severe.
1). They could have dismissed ... which is the most common result.
2). They could have “invited” Judge Sullivan to respond ... they Ordered him to respond in only 10 days
3). They could have “requested” an Amicus or outside Lawyer to give an opinion or represent Sullivan.
Had the DC Circuit appointed amicus, that lawyer's job would have been to present legal arguments defending Judge Sullivan's refusal to grant the DOJ's dismissal motion, NOT legal arguments purporting to show why the DOJ's motion should not be granted. #appelatetwitter
But the DC Circuit did not appoint a lawyer as amicus to defend Judge Sullivan's actions, unlike in Fokker.
Instead, the DC Circuit ordered Judge Sullivan to PERSONALLY respond and defend his actions, without an amicus attorney to do it for him.
This means that Judge Sullivan (and presumably his clerks) will have to PERSONALLY submit written briefing trying to legally justify his refusal to dismiss the Flynn case.
The DC Circuit is thus making Judge Sullivan--a lifetime federal judge--publicly and directly explain to them his actions.
In short, of all the options available to the DC Circuit for ruling on @SidneyPowell1 's writ, the DC Circuit, chose the most extreme, rare, and drastic of them.
It’s been asked/suggested that Sullivan could escape this Order by accepting the Prosecution dropping the charges and just dis,is the case now. What I’ve read by the Appellate Attorneys is that won’t stop the Circuit Court Order to Judge Sullivan. He totally Jumped the Shark and is in deep water.
The part in red is incorrect. The writ of mandamus seeks a mandate that the trial court dismiss the case. Such a mandate would moot the other relief requested by Flynn.
If Sullivan dismisses the case, the mandamus proceeding is over. There is no longer a case or controversy in the DC Circuit Court. It will have no jurisdiction. If Sullivan dismisses the case, the DC Circuit cannot make him answer questions or do anything else.
The part in blue is also incorrect. The "most severe" action the DC Circuit could have taken would have been simply to grant the requested relief and order Sullivan to dismiss the case without having a chance to explain himself beforehand.
Ahh. Still denying that Russia interfered in our election in order to elect Trump.
No doubt hoping they will do the same this year.
Ahh. Still denying that hillary PAID for Un-substantiated "dirt" on Trump which was used to go before the FICA courts, MULTIPLE TIMES to START the mueller "investigation which did NOT recommend ANY actions against Trump, even WITH a staff filled with DEM lawyers, some who worked for the hillary campaign and others who "donated" to her campaign.
Speaking of lawyers :
Sidney Powell, lawyer for Gen. Flynn, gives a most robust defense proving her worth !!! She doesn't quit even while working for her client for free and no doubt spending her own money in defense of Flynn !!! That's extraordinary and the kind of commitment any defendant would love to have !!!
The attorney for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is alleging that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team pursued Flynn's prosecution solely to prolong its investigation of President Trump.
"Mueller knew from Day One that the Russia hoax was blown to bits," she said. "They all knew that. They knew ... the 'Steele Dossier' -- all of that was an absolute hoax. The only way they could keep the Mueller investigation going was to create the obstruction hoax."
"[Mueller] receives the FBI files," he continued. "When he read those shouldn't he have walked over to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's office and said, 'Wait a minute, you've got no evidence here. My appointment is illegitimate and in violation of the special counsel regulation.' Shouldn't he have done that?"
"There are no Russians. There's nothing they don't have, Jack," he said. "And in fact, all the documentation that's now come forward, it's clear they didn't have anything... they didn't have anything from Flynn to all 17 agencies that gave all their information up. They had zero, zippo, nothing. So what the hell was Mueller doing?"
Mueller, rosenstein, and comey have been called "the 3 Amigos' for a long time.

It's been admitted by the Obama Intelligence liars that there was no Russian interference in our election other than Hillary hiring Russians to make up fake dirt on Trump in order to spy on him and then they used that false disinformation dossier to attempt to depose the President.
Since Russia did not attempt to interfere in our election in 2016, I hope they do in 2020 to ensure Trump's re-election.

Please. No such thing was ever admitted.
Stop the lies.
Even the Trump administration admits that Russia interfered. Sweet Jesus.

You've lost it, not sure when, not sure you ever had it, but if you've had any cred before, I don't know how nor where you lost it.
You're trying to use my President's words against him in an attempted half-truth (all-lie) and you summon a Supreme Being for who knows what purpose. As is signature with you lefties, you project by calling us liars.
Russia always interferes with elections. So did Barack Obama.
Prove to me Russia interfered for Trump. Oh, that's right. That was proved to be false.
So what is your point? Just to get the last post in?

Oh yeah, for 2.5 years I've been hearing about Mueller Time and Russia Russia Russia from your weaponized politicized media, academia, Obama Administration, Clinton Campaign, the FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ, etc. and Trump. Still. Beat. All. Ye. ASS.
The only fingering going on was y'all wrt FOX News and how crazy Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Ingraham, Nunes, Huckabee, Gregg Jarrett, Sara Carter, Tom Fitton, Dan Bongino, etc. spilling the truth out to you folks between your CNN sessions.
