A great read for anons.
I highlighted what I feel is the most powerful (among many precedents cited) argument. With the recent ( May 7, 2020) 9-0 Supreme Court Opinion adding a direct Supreme Court case precedent it would highly suspicious if this writ was not granted. However the result can be very likely predicted, is the Arbiter DS influenced or impartial. (I have no idea).
Syndey Powell Filing May 19, 2020.
United States Court of Appeals For the District of Columbia Circuit _________
IN RE: MICHAEL T. FLYNN,
Petitioner
__________
On Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia Case No. 1:17-cr-232 _________
EMERGENCY PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
(just one citation pg. 13)
Prior to issuance of its extraordinary May 12, 2020, order, the district judge adhered scrupulously to the district court’s rules, denying some two dozen attempts by third parties to intervene or file amicus briefs in this very
13
case. A December 20, 2017, Minute Order denies such a motion with a detailed explanation:
MINUTE ORDER. This Court has received several motions to intervene/file an amicus brief along with letters in support from a private individual who is neither a party to this case nor counsel of record for any party. The Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure do not provide for intervention by third parties in criminal cases. The Court recognizes that the movant sincerely believes that he has information to share that bears on this case, and that, understandably, he wishes to be heard. Options exist for a private citizen to express his views about matters of public interest, but the Court's docket is not an available option. The docket is the record of official proceedings related to criminal charges brought by the United States against an individual who has pled guilty to a criminal offense. For the benefit of the parties in this case and the public, the docket must be maintained in an orderly fashion and in accordance with court rules. The movant states that he disagrees with the similar Minute Order issued by Judge Berman Jackson in Criminal Case Number 17-201, but the contrary legal authority on which he relies is neither persuasive nor applicable. Therefore, the Clerk is directed not to docket additional filings submitted by the would-be intervenor. If the individual seeks relief from this Court's rulings, he must appeal the rulings to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 12/20/2017. (lcegs3) (Entered: 12/20/2017). [Emphasis added.]
