In a surprise ruling, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals overrules District Judge Emmet Sullivan and orders him to accept the Justice Department's motion to dismiss the case against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Rao also notes the recent evidence surfaced by the Justice Department's separate review of the case should give it the freedom to revisit the integrity of the overall prosecution.

The opinion denies one part of the motion from Flynn's attorneys in their request to have Judge Sullivan reassigned from the case entirely. "It is a great irony that, in finding the District Court to have exceeded its jurisdiction, this Court so grievously oversteps its own," Wilkins says."This appears to be the first time that we have issued a writ of mandamus to compel a district court to rule in a particular manner on a motion without first giving the lower court a reasonable opportunity to issue its own ruling; the first time any court has held that a district court must grant “leave of court” ...

This is such an injustice and an example of just how Trump has used the judicial system for his own agenda. A travesty and trust in the system eroded by these federal judges who serve Trumps purpose

“Surprise ruling”? Obvious to the casual observer is more like it.

ABC? Why is it a SURPRISE RULING!!! That is JUSTICE ⚖️🇺🇸👍👏👏👏

Because paytoplay

Barr should resign now! Bye bye Barr

See, all the wrong in the world and is free. Betray this country and is free

Corruption.

One country two systems

was it really a surprise tho?

cnnbrk I can't believe you're that ignorant or biased. Sorry to say this is why they call you fake news when you don't add the most important part of the story. DOJ Discloses 'Explosive' Notes From Peter Strzok In Michael Flynn Case

The view of things to come ... Justice is another alternative fact ...

This is an absolute scandal. BarrMustGo

These judicial appointments are only about politics, and not about the law.

WTF? Trump and his corrupt thugs at work.

Good. Flyn should no longer be gagged. Let’s hear the truth about OBAMAGATE

WuhanDon ‘s friends getting away untouched....

Go en banc, Judge Sullivan. You're being bulled. End this corruption. I know it will be hard. Steady hands. DC judges DCCirRev we are watching you.

.GenFlynn is a Hero!!! Watch BlkWhtNoDifference GodBlessUsAll DigitalSoldiers QArmy WWG1WGA

Its not done yet , its going now to the full Circuit Court of Appeals which needs 6 votes to override.

Finally real justice!! And proof that Obama and Biden were involved in the whole collusion scam! Biden’s going to the big house not the White House!!

Of course!! It’s the right thing to do!

You went with 'surprise ruling?' Really? You're a joke.

This was not a decision by an independent judiciary; this was a decision by two political hacks.

Finally someone with some sense.

Disgusting that this man who admitted to lying twice is getting off. Just disgusting. One of two things are going to happen, he'll get rich off his Russian contacts or they'll punish him for getting caught.

Once Biden is elected and takes office, the department of justice is going right back at him. Flynn is going to prison. Roger Stone is going to prison. Roger Stone’s friends are going to prison. realDonaldTrump is going to prison. Barr is going to prison.

he's a traitor.

Screw it let all the criminals free!!

General Flynn was framed! Corrupt Obama admin!

Yes !

Hardly a surprise🙄

This is a sad, dark day for the American Justice System. This is a DOJ that seems to be rapidly deteriorating by the day mind you.

Hilarious. Imagine having to be the DOJ lawyer who asks for a dismissal of someone who pled guilty, because it turns out the whole investigation was dirty.

Free traitors & kill Blacks The motto of our NAZI GOP & BUNKER BABY 👶 & our DOJ

This is what you get when you have a POTUS, appoint cronies, sycophants and judges who will do your bidding, however irregular, illegal or un-American.

I am beyond done with this administration.

This is the proof of what the republicans are doing by placing judges in positions that are crucial in bending the Rule of Law. If they do this imagine what they can do. Fascist takeover. CNN MSNBC NBCNews AshaRangappa_ neal_katyal AriMelber USDCCircuitCt

Can you say Banana Republic?

Surprise ruling? What?

You know what isn't a surprise? ABC ignoring the notes today that implicate Biden and Obama. Nothing about this ruling is a surprise, unless you are infected with the TDS-19.

It’s only a surprise to activist Libs

So much for justice. The man plead guilty.

A surprise ruling? Really?
