In his defense of Judge Sullivan’s bizarre actions in the Flynn case, Judge Gleeson has apparently written something that just might be one of the worst documents ever submitted by a judge. For example: You know a lawyer’s bluffing if … Continue reading →
I have a special interest in the brief Judge Sullivan and his lawyers filed yesterday with the DC District Court. I was curious to see how it jibes with my 3-part analysis of what has been going on with Sullivan … Continue reading →
Just in, Sullivan’s response. It’s almost 50 dense pages long, and I haven’t read it, but as expected it defends Judge Sullivan’s actions. I hope to say more about it later, but if you’re inclined to read it for yourself, … Continue reading →
The release of the Flynn/Kislyak transcripts has infuriated me even more than I thought it would. After all, I already know the outlines and many of the details of the attempt to prevent and then overturn the 2016 election of … Continue reading →
