An appeals court has ordered a federal judge to drop the case against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan’s decision to use his discretion and overlook the Justice Department’s motion to clear Flynn.
The ruling is a win not only for Flynn but for the Trump administration as well. (CNBC)
The appeals court ruling came in response to a request from Flynn’s lawyers, after Washington, D.C., federal district court Judge Emmet Sullivan did not promptly grant the Justice Department’s motion seeking to dismiss the case.
Instead, Sullivan had appointed a lawyer to make arguments to him about why the case should not be tossed out.
Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the United States in the weeks before Trump’s inauguration in January 2017.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).
I wish it would be that easy. The problem is, they are only doing the biding of the Deep State, NWO, Globalists, who fund them. As Trump said at his Tulsa Rally the other day, he had no idea the swamp was this deep. And the other problem is they have deceived almost half the Country. But thank God, we have Trump there to fight for us.
it’s about time, I would have like to see the appeals court fine this filthy Dirty Bastard demoncrat judge and remove Sullivan from the bench, but we will leave this up to Graham in the senate, but knowing that fake phony rino he will do nothing.
Youi got that right….Graham becomes conservative at the end of his term, and pretends to be what he is not. But the day after he was re-elected this term, he went from conservative back to RINO in 1.2 seconds. He is ready to promote hiring more foreigners because he thinks they would help out the economy….. So where are Americans supposed to work? No one votes for Graham but people who have him on the their payroll to get special favors done, and Democrats….
I agree with you. Graham is nothing but a RINO look at who his best friend was another RINO who departed this earth. Graham ‘s hands are just as dirty as McStain’s were and he is a typical corrupted politician who throws bones to his constituents every time he is up for re election. Wake up and vote these RINO’s out!!
Congratulations to Sidney Powell, General Flynn’s superb lawyer.
Bravo; I second the praise of Sidney Powell. She came in after Eric Holder’s firm, Cobington, ‘represented’ him at the beginning, if represented is the right word for bad advice at a high cost.
OOPS, I meant the law firm of Covington …
Finally!!! It’s about time!!!
Time to investigate this judge and see what else he’s done?
LT. GEN Flynn needs to sue those who did this to him and let them lose everything they have. Serious consequences are the best prevention there is. USAF retired myself
Hooray. About time. Ruined a brilliant career. Took him bankrupt. Took the unjustified rap because they threatened to go after his son. List their house & savings. They need to compensate him. Great American!!!
BUT, this judge gets lots of credit from the liberals and Mr. George Soros for “Doing what he was told to do”. Did you know Soros’ “Open Borders Foundation” has spent the $40 Billion Soros has given them to support over 2,300 liberal groups like BLM and Planned Parenthood? Soros went to Hillary’s home to hand her a check for $8 Million to help her election? Still don’t think Soros “Owns” the Dems? Well search on where Chelsea Clinton was married, and to whom. Where was her wedding, and who paid for it? I did, and Chelsesa was married in Mr. Soros New York home, to his nephew, and the Clinton Foundation paid the bill! Still say the Clinton’s are not “In Bed” with Soros???
Amazing a 30 year Vet four stars and he is destroyed by the Obama coupe team, framed by the Obama’s need to destroy one large obstruction Gen Flynn from protecting Trump a new President.
Sullivan should be pulled from the court to answer one simple question; where is his authority to pull this stunt since the prosecuting team says they will not prosecute Flynn and a sitting judge takes it upon himself to pull an unconstitutional action in refusing to drop the case as ordered by the DOJ. Smells like Obama is pulling his strings personally as he continues to direct the deep state against the Trump Administration.
Obama does not pull the strings of the Deep State. They pull his strings.
Now the appeal goes to the Supreme court, and we will see what happens.
Obama went after Flynn because he needed him removed so they could do what they have been doing for three years trying to remove our sitting President. Yesterday’s new evidence notes written they the FBI Peter and Lisa Page showing the meeting Obama had in the oval office was directly going after Flynn to remove him from protecting President Trump. Flynn hopefully will sue Obama civilly to make his family financially whole again that’s an option that hopefully he’ll do.
Halleluiah! Thank God!
Bless you, General Flynn!!!
Seems like a good time for a Battle Field Promotion. Add a star, He certainly has fought a battle, and so has his family.
This Judge Sullivan should be impeached over his mishandling of the Michael Flynn case. The proper action he should have taken was dismiss the case against Flynn when requested to do so by the government. But, no. Judge Sullivan, in his hatred for President Trump, decided to name an attorney to bring the case before him. In those circumstances Flynn would have stood a snowball’s chance in hell of getting justice. We don’t need judges who base the judgment on their on beliefs, not on the Constitution and case law.
Pay back time for Democrats is long, long, long over due!
I hope and pray justice will be done to everyone involved in this evil scheme against General Flynn. I hope heads will roll, beginning with traitor Obama.
Meantime, how can he be “made right”? The BHO kangaroo court has bankrupted the General.
We the US owes him big!!!
Thanks Patrick!!! I see that you know Mr. Grahamnesty well too….Too bad there are no term limits….
