In the lead-up to a crucial hearing in the case of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, his lawyers and the Department of Justice (DOJ) excoriated a federal judge for trying to delay the case’s resolution and usurp prosecutorial power.
“The game is over and this Court should order the umpire to leave the field,” Flynn’s lead lawyer, former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, said in a brief to the District of Columbia appeals court, asking it to rein in District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who’s presided over Flynn’s case.
