A federal appeals court ruled that district court judge Emmett Sullivan can proceed with a planned hearing on the Justice Department’s attempt to abandon a criminal case against Flynn.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting en banc, voted 8-2 to reject Flynn’s effort to dismiss the case immediately.
It is a very liberal court.
Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to a false-statement charge brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. He is trying to back out of the plea when Attorney General William Barr moved in March to drop the case.
He was framed and terrorized into taking the plea. He had insisted on his innocence for months but the Mueller team threatened to indict his son.

This ruling is exactly why we need President Trump reelected. President Trump has been able to appoint judges to the Ninth Court of Appeals to reduce the number of activist leftist judges and we need him to appoint non activist conservative judges and bring the Second Court to making rulings based on the Constitution and rule of law instead of political ideals and an agenda.
The only bright side of this is that it may lead to more embarrassing information on the DOJ’s mishandling of the case. The DOJ was the big problem in this case. It plotted against Flynn, framed him, charged him, harassed him into confessing, then withheld exculpatory evidence for 3 years.
