UPDATED: The Government Weighs In Against Sullivan's Petition
meaninginhistory.substack.com
The Government's response to Sullivan's petition for en banc rehearing of the three judge panel's mandamus to dismiss the Flynn case is, once again, signed by a host of top level DoJ officials--signalling how seriously DoJ takes this business. It is, however, quite different from the Team Flynn response. Instead of raising separation of powers issues once again--which were covered extensively in their previous support of the petition for mandamus--DoJ focuses largely on procedural issues revolving around the propriety of Sullivan's petition to the full Circuit. That may sound dull, but it's actually rather interesting. The argument comes in three parts. In the first two parts DoJ sets out general principles quite tersely and then pretty much just swats aside Sullivan's arguments as erroneous, misguided, incorrect, and so forth.
