No. Sullivan is a bad actor. It's dumb to make up reasons that would turn him into a victim.
He knows he's already stepped out of line. Now he's trying to shield himself.
This is an admission of guilt.

How much longer does this farce go on? Any chance the appellate court issues a default judgment for Flynn yet holds this idiot over for more?

There was speculation that Judge Sullivan would go ahead and dismiss the case before the DC circuits deadline and render the Mandamus petition moot to avoid getting embarrassed.
Sullivan hiring the lawyer tells us that Sullivan is all in, he's doubling down and he's daring the DC circuit to grant Mandamus and dismiss the case themselves.

Can they force Sullivan to dismiss it?

Rumblings are shite is going to come out that will implicate him being criminally culpable with the malicious prosecution and Flynn's own original lawyers. Maybe even written communications between all three.......this is just what I'm hearing this is why he is retaining counsel

If we allow judges to hire lawyers to represent themselves to judges that outrank them to argue over litigation where both parties have come to an agreement to dismiss the case, we will be opening up a can of worms.
I thought the Writ of Mandamus was a time thing. Isn’t the reason for it because the one who filed it is seeking relief for a statutory matter? In Flynn’s case- dropping the fricking case?

That's what the Writ of Mandamus is.
It's an order to compel someone in legal proceedings to perform a task whether they be the judge, prosecutor or defendant.
It's a high bar to reach to be granted. But it gets easier when it concerns a ministerial task like dismissing the case when both parties come to agreement and the judge as a neutral arbiter has no further role to play.
One way or the other, the case against Flynn will be dismissed.

yeah. I've always laughed at the notion of military tribunals and shite like that.
But, if the judiciary is so corrupt that it won't do its job, and the left is hell bent on dying on these hills, everything needs to be on the table.

Sullivan was in on it, he may be indicted/arrested

I figured it had to be something like that. To which you would think he'd do the normal thing and drop the case as the parties wish. Perhaps Barry and Co have dirt and pressured him into not issuing the dismissal.

The only way a military court could expand is via a coup.

When both parties in litigation come to an agreement, the judge as a netural arbiter has no further role to play and dismissing the case becomes a ministerial task for the judge and one he must perform and he does not have an option to refuse or delay dismissing the case.
Litigation in a court of law is about a dispute between two parties. When they both come to an agreement, the case is over.

Once the dismissal is final everything starts dropping, he's just delaying the inevitable

Then, the courts whether DC or Appeals owe Flynn his relief. And they owe it immediately. Sullivan and his lawyer can frick right off.

Beth and I were in the same class at UVa Law.
Another tidbit: she was 2nd Chair for the USA in prosecuting Timothy McVeigh.

Did you both take the class twice?

I’m willing to hire my own lawyer just to understand the shite show.

Fun issue to hold over the House this cycle.
A judge gets caught fixing a case against a political opponent with the cooperation of the DOJ and the defendant’s own counsel.
Sounds like a perfect recipe for an impeachment and removal. Alcee Hastings was at least taking bribes, not putting own show trials.

I fully expect Flynn's son to be charged with some bullshite very soon.
