Dear Judge Sullivan,

Well, that just tears it, doesn't it? You were the god (small "G") of your courtroom. All powerful, take no guff. Throughout the process you were hard on both sides. Cheers alternated from the left and the right. I'll bet you figured when everyone was mad at you, you must be charting the right course. You were all set to mete out historic punishment, cementing your position in history and the A-list of party invites.

Then that lady lawyer got involved. Things you could not take judicial notice thereof - can't be influenced by the media - got pushed in your face as Flynn's defense produced, more accurately caused to be produced, damning evidence of malfeasance by the Government. You had a guilty plea, sworn to in your courtroom. And it was all about to turn to dust. Face it, you were pissed. You were like the Air Boss in Top Gun after Maverick's flyby; "I want some heads!"
I hear ya! Something untoward, something dirty went down in your courtroom. Another movie reference: Godfather II (or was it III?) when the Senator got blindsided when Frankie Pentangeli changed his testimony. "We have a sworn affidavit -- we have it -- your sworn affidavit ... I'm gonna find out what the hell happened here!"

I get it. Plea deals shouldn't come and go like the tide. Recanted testimony should bear a price. Somebody did something wrong.

But Here's the thing (yo, Adrian!) Something vile, odious, and dammit, illegal went down. You were assigned a bit part in a soft coup gone off the rails. Flynn was supposed to flip. It was never supposed to go as far as it did. Your bad that Flynn was such a Boy Scout (yo, Jack Ryan!) Why couldn't he be like Bolton /rhetorical

Well, you have the right idea, just the wrong perp. There is PLENTY of grist for your mill. You're blaming the victim, not the bad actors. Have you ever heard of the term "Lawfare?" Come on, you've seen it, day in and day out in Federal Courtrooms across this great country. Why do you think Federal Prosecutors have such a high conviction rate? Could it be that the Gubermint has the unbridled power to reduce the highest flyer to abject poverty? That pleas are struck to stop the bleeding? What percentage might that be? Has anyone studied this?

The thing is, the cat's out of the bag. You know the FBI lied, that the DOJ committed Brady Violations among other things. All this is in the record before you. High Crimes were committed. Boy Scout Flynn was forced to take the plea to protect his family. Yes, Flynn knew that what was done to him was about to be done to his son. He's an honorable man, your honor, with decades of dedicated service to his country. Of course he took the plea! Who wouldn't??? Well, maybe Bolton, but that's another story.

So here's what you do. Dismiss the charges as ordered. Forget going after Flynn for perjury. Mens rea would be problematic anyway. Boy Scout Flynn could legitimately argue that he felt if the Government said he lied to the FBI, then he must have done so. He didn't know about the lies, the manipulations, the disgusting dirtywork done behind the scenes by the coup cabal.

BUT, if not precluded by the Appeals Court ruling, you surely can start with the DOJ and work your way into the FBI. There are plenty of guilty parties that perpetrated a fraud against your court. Have at it. Make history. Don't be like the FISA Court who could easily do the same thing. You and they could hand out contempt charges like they were candy. You can't wait for Durham and Barr. They're too busy running out the clock. They're just fixin' to mosey when it comes with charging anybody. Enjoy. Recover your face. You've earned it. You can rip through the prosecution players like Covid through a NY nursing home!
