Go get em Judge Sullivan!
8-2!
Setback for Mike Flynn, Court of Appeals denies request to have his case tossed immediately
The saga of Trump's former national security adviser, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, is likely to drag on for months.

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court Monday rejected an effort by former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn to have his criminal case thrown out immediately.
By a vote of 8-2, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected Flynn's motion for an order that would have directed the judge who handled the case to dismiss it. That sort of extraordinary order is available only when there's no other option, the court said.
Federal District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan has yet to rule on whether to grant the government's motion, made in May, to dismiss the case. Once the judge rules, Flynn would have the option of launching an appeal then if he loses, the appeals court said.
