Comments on: What Judge Sullivan’s Opinion Means

When can we start calling out crooked or conspiratorial judges for being involved in massive criminal cover ups, fraud and the removal of, or failure to protect, the basic human rights of citizens?

Don’t judges have some kind of responsibility to protect the rights of the citizenry, or do they think we are national serfs and slaves? To be dispensed with as they wish.

Where’s the oversight?

Any public defender jobs out there?
People losing their homes who might need representation during the process?

Well, my hopes that a member of the Judiciary would dare to rise, to stand where and when Congress, in the face of Executive “over-reach”, would not, have definitely been realized. The good and well-respected Judge Emmet Sullivan has lifted his ass off the bench sufficiently to fart in the general direction of the Constitution and “the people”.

Secrecy reigns.

And “the people” are not entitled to the truth.

On another topic:

Congratulations, tekel!

(Another of my perhaps foolish “hopes” is that, one day, the good lawyers will outnumber those given to mere or utter “expediency”…)

Yeah, and I’m guessing we won’t be seeing any filing from Fitzgerald (or Durham or other SPec Prosecutors) as Spec Pros asking to intervene and for the court to withdraw it’s order and hold in abeyance to the extent that it is an order determining that Special Prosecutor interviews with Exec branch members in connection with criminal investigations are “inter-agency chats” which will be subject to privilege (and for which Special Prosecutors could not, then, pursue false statements claims bc of the privilege that would attach) until the office of Spec Prosec has an opportunity to also brief that issue to the court.

Not gonna happen, although it would if you actually did have such a thing as independent special prosecutors. THey’d never allow a court ruling to go out as precedent stating that their criminal interviews with Exec branch members are all privileged and they can’t release or use them without waivers of that privilege - even where someone is found to have lied (given a false statement) to them.

That should probably have been touched on in the filings here if the court was going to get to that issue.

Um, yeah. And that statement goes for about everything you argue here. What they did brief on was decent work, but they missed a lot. And they did not do a good job of going back and turning Fitzgerald’s argument on numerous things against the opposition like they should have as you note.
