The Appellate Panel of the DC Circuit, in a 2-1 scathing decision, has ordered Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to grant the motion to dismiss by the government in regard to the case of General Michael Flynn, prosecuted as part of the Deep State conspiracy to get Orange Man Bad. This ends Judge Sullivan’s attempt to be both Judge and prosecutor in the case. Go here to read the decision. Sometimes the good guys win. I think General Flynn would make an excellent Secretary of Defense or Director of the FBI. Swamp dwellers beware.

Now the speculation is on whether Sullivan could seek an en banc rehearing and on whether or not Sullivan will simply ignore the order.
If he ignores the order I imagine a supplemental order would be entered removing him from the case.
and the bench.
If he ignores the directive, is he in contempt? So asks a layman.
Anyone can be held to be in contempt for disobeying a court order. As I have told clients, they are orders not suggestions.
And, while we’re at it…

I think Flynn would be great at any job that doesn’t require Senate confirmation.
Assuming Trump wins in November and the Republicans retain the Senate, Flynn should be easily confirmable.
The Willards of the Senate beg to differ. There’s no accusation from 40 years ago that the Democrats could invent which they wouldn’t treat like a Grave Matter of Utmost Concern.
