WASHINGTON – Michael Flynn is asking a federal appeals court to force the dismissal of his case and to assign him to a different judge, saying the one who's been overseeing it has abused his discretion.
Flynn's attorneys on Tuesday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to order U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to dismiss Flynn's case, as prosecutors have requested. They took special issue with Sullivan'sto challenge the Justice Department's move to abandon the prosecution and to examine whether the former Army general committed perjury for declaring his innocence from a crime he had earlier admitted.
"The district court has no authority to adopt the role of prosecutor or change the issues in the case by inviting or appointing to perform the investigation or prosecution that the court deems appropriate," Flynn's lawyers argued."The district court order appointing an amicus is both unauthorized and bespeaks a disturbing lack of appreciation of the court’s limited role when confronted with a motion to dismiss by the government in a criminal case.
The appeal is the latest escalation in what has become a confrontational and long-standing criminal case of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser. Flynn, one of half a dozen Trump campaign aides and allies who were prosecuted as a result of the special counsel Russia investigation, pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his communications with a former Russian ambassador.

Couldn’t the Americans do a ‘Bridge of Spies’ and swap one Russian agent,Michael Flynn, for another one.
So BarackObama advised tRump not to hire Flynn as nat sec adviser. Trump ignored the advice. Flynn proceeded to lie to the FBI and VP about his call with the Russian ambassador, for which Trump fired him and Flynn pleaded guilty. And this is Obama’s fault?!?
She is right. Sullivan overstepped.
If you’re okay with this, you must be okay with mandatory minimums, because you’re clearly okay with blatant miscarriages of justice.
Not, of course, that Flynn pled guilty - and is guilty- of each crime for which he was charged.
I’m sure they think he did...🤣🤣🤣
POLILLITAM Bunch of cry babies who can't handle not getting what they want when they want it.
SecPompeo Flynn, POTUS It’s all going sideways...FAST!!
Keep poking Judge Sullivan, let's see what happens. LOL.
Because he has.
