This is the DS setting the stage for an October surprise. Sullivan will have a hearing in sept and demand he amici interview the government. This will drop in October and will contain “grave concerns” about the justice department’s “corruption” and also highlight “lack of candor” about what the doj won’t answer due to constitutional issues.
It also guarantees this will drag on for months, long after the election. The only question is whether trump will just pardon Flynn after November. I strongly suspect Sullivan will pursue perjury charges, per Obama’s tweet, come hell or high water.
