TPM: “The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Friday put on hold an order that the judge immediately dismiss Flynn’s case.”
“The now-frozen order was issued by two GOP appointees on a three-judge appellate panel, after Flynn made an extraordinary request that the appeals court intervene in how his judge, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, was handling his case.”
“Bigger picture, the D.C. Circuit’s move on Friday means that the Justice Department won’t be able to drop just yet its case against the former national security adviser, who had pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying the the FBI about his Russian contacts.”
