Sullivan needs a certification that all evidence submitted is on the up and up. This is in relation to yesterday’s filing about there being alterations to Strzok’s notes. Gives DOJ a week.
Sullivan wants to know how much weight to give trump’s tweets. DOJ essentially says look at the facts, not his tweets.
The way DOJ Solicitor General Moopan says ‘Authoritative’ is chilling when he tells Sullivan, the Executive Branch made an authoritative decision to dismiss Flynn’s case. Shivers. Judge Gleeson up next.
Judge Gleeson advises if Sullivan decides to dismiss, he grant the dismissal without prejudice. Keeping the door open to come back to this. Gleeson says he has a lot to say and he hopes Sullivan let’s him say it. Says he can’t believe some of the things he’s hearing from DOJ.
Gleeson says maybe we should take a break to see if there have been any other supplemental filings given the issues raised last night. He tells Sullivan, you need to get the real reasons why the DOJ are doing this and you don’t have them yet.
Gleeson just hucklebucked all over DOJ’s argument. Says Flynn plead guilty. Says agents reminded him of things he said in a call with Kislyak didn’t try to get him to lie about it.
And screeching feedback of the phone just got me. I’m out.
