SULLIVAN: has anyone filed a motion with Contreras to withdraw the plea with him? POWELL: we've provided it to this court and we included it in the mandamus petition.
SULLIVAN: when can a court review a rule 48 a motion: the court is required to grant it. POWELL: It's in the government's sole discretion and it has to be dismissed WITH precedent to prevent continued harassment by the court and Mr. Gleeson.
SULLIVAN: Well i have not appointed Gleeson as special prosecutor, if you want to argue that you can file it in a week or so. How is the court to determine any motives? POWELL: it can look at the pleadings by the government, we're up to 150 pages of new eviccende
that the investigation was part of a central coup to take out trump and the investigation into flynn was part of that coup to take out Mr. Trump. SULLIVAN: any other arguments? POWELL: we have provided new info and it requires a dismissal.
WOW. She then quotes Alice in Wonderland with regards to Gleeson's arguments. Then she says a bunch of insane bullshit that I can't type because it makes no sense. She says the tweets are a red herring as is the letter from Strzok and shouldn't be considered at all
Something about a department of prosecution and a department of justice. This is the most egregious injustice I've seen in my 30 years. this court dismiss the case with prejudice.
Sullivan gives it to the DoJ: Gleeson makes our points for us. 1. At no point did Gleeson address Nixon or Fokker. "Executive branch has absolute discretion whether to prosecute a case" and "Leave of court authority gives NO power to district court to deny based on a disagreement
Gleeson gave no explanation or arguments to these quotes. SULLIVAN: so what you're saying is leave of court is required, and i assuem you concede we can have this hearing, but regardless I have to grant the motion?
In a case where the defendant agrees with the government, your role is very limited. As long as the AG has made an authoritative determination, you have to go with that determination. If you don't agree with that, Gleeson says you can set it aside if its based on favoritism
and Gleeson cited the president's comments and I assure you the AG didn't make this decision based on what trump said. And trump never said "you must dismiss the case". He only said it was a witch hunt. (Oh my god lol)
