Veteran trial lawyer Beth Wilkinson is helping guide U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan as a federal appeals court questions his plan to probe the U.S. Justice Department’s decision to dismiss the case against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn despite his admission he lied to the FBI.
Sullivan refused to immediately dismiss the charge against Flynn, a retired Army general who served for just weeks in Trump’s White House, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is now weighing whether the longtime Washington federal trial judge overstepped his authority.
The appeals court set a June 1 deadline for Sullivan to respond to a petition from Flynn’s lawyers that seeks the immediate dismissal of the case. Sullivan, meanwhile, has appointed an outside lawyer, John Gleeson, a former federal judge in Brooklyn, to make arguments against the Justice Department’s bid to ditch the prosecution. Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his communications with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., but he later hired new lawyers to help him withdraw his acknowledgement of wrongdoing.
Wilkinson, a co-founder of the litigation boutique Wilkinson Walsh, confirmed Saturday she had been retained by Sullivan, who has served on Washington’s federal trial court since 1994. The Washington Post first reported Wilkinson’s role advocating for the judge.
Wilkinson has long been in the spotlight in Washington legal circles and beyond as a successful defense-side trial lawyer advocating for major U.S. companies. She left the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in 2016 to start the boutique, which has offices in Washington, New York and Los Angeles.

You’ve got to love the WaPo slogan “Democracy Dies in Darkness” above the headline. The irony is rich.

Sullivan must respond personally.
Meanwhile, we need to find out WTF paid for the counsel expenses.

Like I said earlier, the DC circuit should think if they really want to let Sullivan create a whole new area of caselaw that will be abused by rogue judges fighting superior courts.
Actually not even think, they should rule against him, admonish him and dismiss the case with Prejudice.
You don't even need to be sympathetic to General Flynn to agree that this is a can of worms that needs to stay closed.

the appeals court named SCOTUS law of RBG that Sullivan can't get friends of progsRUs to opine.
have they lost their minds?
stall tactic to force Trump to pardon Flynn for dems campaign. it is stupid, appalling, absurd, and way past pathetic.

I genuinely hate activist judges. They’re the lowest form of scum.

Will disgraced "Judge" Sullivan actually respond or will he have to have somebody else make his case for him?

I wish I could read the WaPo article but the gist of this is astounding.
