As you likely know, after the Department of Justice moved to have the Michael Flynn case dropped in light of new evidence, Judge Emmet Sullivan instead appointed a retired judge named John Gleeson to build a case against the government’s motion to dismiss the charge against Flynn and further argue if Flynn could be held in contempt of court for perjury.
That was May 13 … two days after an op-ed headlined, “The Flynn case isn’t over until the judge says it’s over” and signed by none other than John Gleeson, had been published by the Washington Post.
Actually, there were three bylines on the piece, and tweeter Techno Fog has taken a closer look and found that another of its authors, David O’Neil, had served as Sally Yates’ lawyer.
It's bad enough that Judge Sullivan is refusing to dismiss the case against Flynn.
It's even worse that his decision was influenced by a WaPo opinion column written by David O'Neil.

Of course, the Washington Post fails to inform its readers that David O'Neil represents Sally Yates.
Sure seems like he's helping advance his client's interests.
Perhaps WaPo Editorial Page Editor @hiattf can explain the omission? pic.twitter.com/JznLpwmuUR

To summarize the circus:
Gleeson and O'Neil are in the same firm.
O'Neil represents Yates – who faces serious allegations of misconduct w/r/t Flynn.
Gleeson and O'Neil ask the Court to exceed its authority and sentence Flynn.
Gleeson gets appointed amicus.

Also, note that the Obama “leak” specifically mentioned perjury days ahead of Sullivan.

The “private” phone call between Barack Obama and former administration officials, the audio of which just happened to be “obtained” by Yahoo News and accused Flynn of perjury? That leak?
Sullivan got the matching orders from Obama’s “perjury” statement. Now he’s part of “run out the clock” strategy.

General Flynn should now plead guilty to the process crime he is no longer charged with.
Wonder what would happen?

Can you say conflict?

This is a serious conflict of interest. Where is the bar on this?

Amazing how many tentacles are involved in just this one Deep State plot. These people will do anything to stop this presidency. What is everyone so scared of?

Yes, and it is amazing how closely all these deep state actors are to each other.

It’s a disgusting miscarriage of justice.
Plead guilty under extreme duress.
Was given horrible legal advice.
Government misconduct throughout the “investigation” and prosecution.
It’s an absolute disgrace.— William Simpson (@William28968945) May 20, 2020
The government dropped its case therefore there is no case for him to judge on. Next!

I keep ending up at, they are only being so obvious because they have to. My guess is they are screwed either way, but to get the least screwed means calling in every marker they have, no matter they are destroying the nation in the process.

If the media continues to knowingly involved themselves in this mess they are going to end up sharing a prison cell with these corrupt players.

They're all staying the course. Doubling down. Colluding.

This needs to end today.

It won’t, but it should. Gleeson has said he’ll file his amicus brief by June 10.
