The judge in the Michael Flynn case has gone full activist - refusing to dismiss the case after the Department of Justice requested to drop charges so that an outside party could file an opposition briefing known as a "friend-of-the-court", or "amicus" briefing.
Today, Judge Emmet Sullivan took things one step further, appointing former Gotti prosecutor and judge, John Gleeson, to argue against the dismissal and to determine whether Flynn should be held in contempt for perjury.
As we noted earlier, What makes it bizarre is that the Judge, Emmet Sullivan, denied this type of third party intervention 24 timesduring the case - yet has suddenly changed his mind after an activist group which calls itself the "Watergate Prosecutors" moved to file an amicus brief, according to the Washington Examiner.
And as Trump ally and attorney Victoria Toensing noted, the Supreme Court ruled last week that entertaining outside interventions such as these was a "drastic departure" and an "abuse of discretion."

Gleeson is already compromised. He is a partner in the firm which represented Sally Yates, who along with Comey , was given marching orders by Obama in the Oval Office in the plot against Flynn. He should recuse.
Unprecedented move ... Justice delayed is Justice denied
Impeach Emmet Sullivan.
Flynn was selling out our Country to the Russians ( and Turkey). Sure ,...lets support him.
