Jonathan Turley points out how nutty this is.
I wonder how the DC Court of Appeals will rule? They certainly didn’t do me any favors. It may end up in the Supreme Court.

The Judge should known about it. The persecutors caused Judge to deny the rights of defendant, making Judge look like he did something unlawful. Now because of what Judge he has stupidly done recently, we know he is stupid, and there is no doubt he was unlawful and should removed as a Judge. The persecutors have effectively defamed the Judge, and Judge has no recourse to regain his honor.
The only thing vaguely interesting is why is Judge so eager to commit suicide? Probably, a soap opera that can be written about that.
Of course the judge knew this would not work. He doesn’t care, he wants the process to be the punishment. He may be hoping to keep this circus going until November.
Isn’t Judge Sullivan confusing a statement of fact that could be true or false with a plea of Guilty or Not-Guilty, which is a legal/procedural matter.
To the extend that there are such thing as facts, a statement that “I asked Ambassador Kislyak to not escalate the Russian response to recent US sanctions.” If General Flynn turns around and states “I did not ask Ambassador Kislyak to not escalate the Russian response”, well, the General either said or did not say such a thing and if he changes his “tune” on this, he was either uttering a falsehood then or now.
As to pleading Guilty and then changing his mind and wanting to plead “Not-Guilty”, guilt or not-guilty is not a matter of fact apart from the fact that a legal process made such a determination. General Flynn could say, “I thought I was guilty based on what I know, what my incompetent prior lawyer told me, and what was disclosed to me. What has changed is that I learned more about my case, and I am no longer not-so-sure.”
It is a slippery slope when the Judge and the Prosecutor become one and the same. Gleeson argues the clock of Justice and due process stops after a plea is entered, circumstances be damned.This will not stand on appeal.
It may not even survive the writ of mandamus.
Rand, I suspect Sidney Powell was not representing you to the DC Court of Appeals?
No, but I had adequate representation.
The judge picks the prosecutor, the charges, and decides guilt. A little more authority than originally given to one judge, isn’t it?
