Do you think Banana Republic status will be made official by SCOTUS? The conservatives on the court seem to be keen on the idea. The recipe is an untouchable POTUS and a compliant AG. Trump might be the very last POTUS to be impeached.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostNever said it was illegally Jimmy. It just drives a train sized hole right through your argument. If someone told me, “Plead guilty or else we’ll take it out on your kid” you can bet what my answer will be. General Flynn was thinking as a father, not as someone protecting his innocence.

In a nakedly political miscarriage of justice, Judge Sullivan is delaying a final ruling and requests that outside groups file what are know as "amicus" or "friend of the court" briefs which he will apparently use to help guide his decision.
Judge Sullivan even cited famously political Judge Amy Berman Jackson, a subtle hat/tip to President Obama’s recent May 8th instructions. Sullivan’s order can put to rest any contemplation of him holding corrupt prosecutor Brandon Van Grack to account; and only further delays removing the sword of damocles from atop Lt. General Michael Flynn.
The transparent purpose of allowing public comment, specifically from the Lawfare resistance group, is to undermine the DOJ and further create a political narrative around AG Bill Barr. However, on the positive side this might stir Barr to release even more damaging information to counter the political efforts of Judge Sullivan. Quite remarkable.
