Sullivan would not have taken this stand in the first place if he did not have the assurance of the Democrats, including their Nomenklatura that something more was up.
His appointments outside the normal criminal law procedures implies a strong possibility that the Left has decided to split and discredit the entire Judicial branch.
At which point, disputes will depend on which sides judge has the case regardless of law, precedence, or anything approximating justice.
We have a duly elected President who the Democrats are trying to unconstitutionally overthrow.
We have the Democrats and part of the Republicans joining in the overthrow.
We have the entire electoral system under attack with the validity of votes and voters, the chain of custody of votes, and the counting being placed into question.
In Democrat controlled states, the governments are trying to claim the right to and to factually suppress the Constitution and the Bill of Rights at will. They are doing that in no small part by ignoring judicial rulings against them.
The creation of functionally a separate judicial system subservient to the Democrats leaves not much in the way of peaceful due process to resolve differences.
Der Krieg ist eine bloße Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln.
It might be reasonable to prepare for interesting times.
Official concern about Flynns interactions with Kislyak was heightened when Putin declared on Dec. 30 that Moscow would not retaliate after the Obama administration announced a day earlier the expulsion of 35 suspected Russian spies and the forced closure of Russian-owned compounds in Maryland and New York.
Trump responded with effusive praise for Putin. Great move on the delay, he said in a posting to his Twitter account. I always knew he was very smart.
Putins reaction cut against a long practice of reciprocation on diplomatic expulsions, and came after his foreign minister had vowed that there would be reprisals against the United States.
Putins muted response which took White House officials by surprise raised some officials suspicions that Moscow may have been promised a reprieve, and triggered a search by U.S. spy agencies for clues.
Something happened in those 24 hours between Obamas announcement and Putins response, a former senior U.S. official said. Officials began poring over intelligence reports, intercepted communications and diplomatic cables, and saw evidence that Flynn and Kislyak had communicated by text and telephone around the time of the announcement.
Note the paragraph after the emphasized passage. It became James Comeys talking point for years afterward, a sort of all-purpose aperture to both past and future, explaining whatever surreptitious means were being used to snoop on the Trump team, as well as becoming the ... de facto plot device --- on which to justify filleting Flynn and grilling him to a crisp.
