					<description><![CDATA[Now this from the Party of the Unhinged:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nadler-calls-for-slashing-ag-budget-in-latest-swipe-at-barr

Disgusting and obscene have become the Democratic Party norm.

The party of unrepentant criminality. 

It&#039;s as though they can&#039;t help themselves, so intoxicated are they by perversity, so subsumed are they by hatred.

It&#039;s disheartening to see but they&#039;ve gone totally bonkers.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;No justice, no peace&quot; is a selectively applied slogan.

Supposedly it means &quot;when there is justice there will be peace&quot; -- which is hard to argue with.

In practice it means &quot;when we (Democrats et al.) achieve justice (by our definition), we will give you peace (so long as you agree with us on everything).&quot;

Therefore, in reality, it means &quot;we do not ever intend to deliver either one.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...antithetical...&quot;

&quot;Habeus corpus&quot; be damned. (Flynn&#039;s already been languishing in this Orwellian purgatory for over three years.)

But as long as we&#039;re talking &quot;antithetical&quot;, it&#039;s also antithetical to established precedents---the &quot;TRUE INTERPRETATION&quot; of which could conceivably be argued over until Doomsday, which is the whole point of Sullivan&#039;s &quot;judicial activisim&quot; cum agitprop...except that the meaning of those precedents has already been well established.

The only question here is whether he and his merrye crewe of injudicious Jesuitical jesters are going to be allowed to split hairs while Flynn continues to twist.

					<description><![CDATA[As I understand it, the &quot;logic&quot; in his brief is that since the DoJ is not willing to prosecute Flynn, he has a duty to do so.

Of course, such an approach is antithetical to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.]]></description>

Key graf:
&#039; Sullivan has so far refused to affirm the dismissal and has instead laid out a schedule that would prolong the case for possibly months. He’s appointed former federal Judge John Gleeson as an amicus curiae (friend of the court) “to present arguments in opposition to the government’s Motion to Dismiss,” as well as to “address” whether the court should make the defense explain why “Flynn should not be held in criminal contempt for perjury.”

&#039;He’s also signaled he may allow more amici to join the case. &#039;

This has the Obama SOP all over it:
Earnestly execute, subvert, destroy and assassinate for all the best, most judicious reasons... One must be very thorough and leave no stone unturned...to get at &quot;THE TRUTH&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;What he refrains from declaring is that Sullivan is evidentiary proof of the all too common results of affirmative action with exhibit a being Barry Obama.&lt;/i&gt;

See Steven Sailer and William Dyer on Obama&#039;s background. There is reason to believe that he had the LSAT scores apposite for the law school he attended and that his honors there were earned.  He just manifested no interest in practicing law, or, really, much of anything beyond college basketball and golf.  The &#039;affirmative action&#039; was manifest 15 years later in the complete breakdown of the peer review function among the Democratic Party&#039;s movers and shakers, which breakdown made him a viable candidate for the presidential nomination.  You can look north of the border and see the same breakdown at work in Justin Trudeau&#039;s trajectory.  (Actually even more pronounced, as there isn&#039;t much indication in Trudeau&#039;s history of any more &#039;g&#039; than you&#039;d see in a run-of-the-mill high school teacher.  Obama, though unoriginal and incurious, is smarter than that).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If Sullivan&#039;s goal is to play for time, to block, to delay, to drag out the proceedings so that Flynn cannot go free; and if he doesn&#039;t care what the consequences are for him, then the game is on and he and his &quot;legal&quot; team will continue to use every trick in the book to delay and block and sabotage to the extent that they are allowed to. 

Because every extra day that Michael Flynn remains an unfree person is a victory for Sullivan and whomever and whatever he is representing. Every extra day that Flynn is unfree means he cannot be a threat (even supposing he wanted to be) to those who planned to destroy him but have not yet succeeded in doing so.

Flynn knows too much. He cannot be let loose. Moreover, it has become a matter of &quot;honor&quot; for those who have caused him all this hardship. Obama does not like to lose.

And so, the game continues apace.

But only, it seems, if the Courts allow it. Why they should decide to enable someone whose goal is to deny Michael Flynn justice and freedom is something I personally don&#039;t understand, but maybe they are legally compelled to give Sullivan &quot;his day in court&quot; even though he doesn&#039;t have a leg to stand on; or maybe they feel bound as &quot;honorable&quot; people that Sullivan must be granted his rights (even while denying Flynn his).

That is, IF they decide to play Sullivan&#039;s game. It would be a gross farce; but it&#039;s their call....

That is, unless it&#039;s not their call and Sullivan has them over a &quot;legal&quot; barrel. In which case it would become (just another) grotesque outrage.]]></description>
