BREAKING re: Flynn en banc
1) The DC Circuit just entered the attached order regarding the Flynn en banc oral argument. It shows at least some of the judges are concerned that Judge Sullivan has become biased, and needs to disqualify himself. (cont)

4) Section 455(a) declares, "Any...judge...shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned."

5) Section 455(b)(5)(i), in turn, declares that a judge must also disqualify himself if he "[i]s a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, or trustee of a party."

6) This indicates that the DC Circuit is concered that by petitioning for en banc review, Judge Sullivan has rendered himself a party to the case, and has thus disqualified himself from further overseeing the district court proceedings.

Flynn update -
DC Court of Appeals requests the parties be prepared to address at oral argument:
1) Whether Judge Sullivan should disqualify himself for perceived impartiality; and
2) If Sullivan should disqualify himself as a party to the proceeding.

if this gets remanded on the impartiality issues, since Sullivan is now a "party", will there be discovery available to the litigants?

Would this put Flynn back to square 1? Have the judge disqualified so the shot clock is reset?
They don’t have to win. They just need to stall Flynn from rejoining Trump.

Who would prosecute in this situation? Lawfare?

Not really
According to Viva Frei's show last nite, this would likely both (a) strike down the mandamus but also (b) mark Sullivan as a party and therefore trigger an immediate recusal
That would result in a reassignment of the case to a new judge who should call for immediate dismissal
However District Judge Amy Berman Jackson is also in that district. Should she draw the case, who the frick knows what she will do. She has NO qualms about running this thing through the ringer and starting this all over again.

How? Will she assign a Lawfare prosecutor?
Barr will just tell them to f' off.

Barr was on Levin's show on Fox this weekend. He is quite fed up with this shite.

Let's hope she has qualms about making a fool of herself like Sullivan.

she absolutely does not
She doesnt care how it looks, how it damages her career, legalities, how its portrayed in the media, amongst her peers, or being censured
She is a true believer - whatever it takes

He really should be disbarred.
