General Flynn just called into Rush Limbaugh’s radio show to thank him and his listeners for their support. He couldn’t say much and he realizes his case is not over.
A federal appeals court handed a major victory to Michael Flynn on Wednesday, ordering a lower court judge to dismiss the felony false-statement.

He pleaded guilty to a lie under extreme duress during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals split, 2-1, as it backed Flynn’s Writ of Mandamus.
They told Judge Emmet Sullivan to accept the DOJ’s recommendation to dismiss the case.
The majority opinion, penned by Trump appointee Neomi Rao, said allowing the case to continue would intrude on the executive branch’s prerogatives to control criminal prosecutions.
Sullivan could ask the full bench of the appeals court to reconsider the issue or a member of that court could ask for a vote to do so.
I almost hope that the dissenter asks the whole panel of the appeals court to weigh in. Then if they act like clowns and reverse the panel, it will go to the Supreme Court where I think Flynn might win by a vote of 9 to 0. Otherwise we will hear from left-wing pundits claiming that the panel got it wrong and that that the author of the opinion was appointed by a Republican and that the decision was political. I know this might prolong the agony but it would hush these left-wing lawyers who will try to criticize the decision as being illegitimate.
I read that Sullivan can still pursue contempt charges. This may not be over. The appeals court should have removed this judge, not doing so is just another outrage.
I wonder who the judge is on the appeals panel that didn’t want the case to be dismissed? And what was their reason other than they just hate Trump, all of his associates and all of us who voted for him?
It was judge Robert Wilkins, an Obama appointee, tells us everything we need to know, the question now is whether Judge Sullivan will drop the case ??????
Now the public needs to see the page of notes from ex-agent Peter Strzok that shut this case down !!!
Sullivan should be removed from the bench.
