This is the kind of legal argumentation that might be termed “fart sniffing.” The law is brought into disrepute when sight is lost of common sense and the overarching obligation of the courts to seek just outcomes.
Here, the facts before the court demonstrate gross misconduct on the part of the prosecutors. Without admitting this explicitly, likely because of ongoing investigations, the the position of the DOJ is that it could not prove any case against Flynn at trial.
What Sullivan appears unable to absorb and act upon, which surely renders him unfit for judicial service, is that Flynn was set up; and that by denial of exculpatory evidence, undue influence to plead guilty, and, at best, questionable representation of Flynn by Covington & Burling he was an innocent man unconscionably victimized by the system.
When a vehicle is pursuing a course that will take it over a cliff, correcting course is the right action to take at all practical points before a wreck ensues. If the judicial system cares more about the aroma of its gaseous emissions than the business of justice, it has given up on its primary mission and is not fit for purpose.
This is not a time for an intramural dialogue. This is the time to do the right thing and recognize that there remains an opportunity to right a profound wrong and forestall the unjust punishment of a man who is not guilty of the matters on which he was indicted.

Gonna need a third opinion now, though
