at first of all a bit of breaking news as we came to air this evening that judge emmet sullivan sayshat he's going to open up the decision whether or not to drop charges against general flynn. this process drags on it appea appears. >> you know, i've never heard of someone outside the government bringing charges against someone. i think the government made a big mistake against these charges against general flynn and we never should have been listening to his phone call and shouldn't have been trying to entrap him into or create a crime. they never thought he committed any crime, what a terrible tragedy of justice. i thought we were already done with it, and i am sure that we are finally done with it. the ultimate thing with the legislature, and pushing hard to make sure we take this power away from government. >> martha: it's and what about the unmasking. do you think that it is right to let the american people know who decided to unmasked general flynn from those phone call transcripts? >> absolutely. and i don't think anything like this could have happened with president obama. i

gregg jarrett, let's talk about the legality in play here in the judge. >> judge emmet sullivan, as ioday, he is either taking leave or he is exhibiting outrageous political bias. i think it is a bit of both. we learned late last week through suddenly released documents that this, flynn was a victim of false accusations in a wrongful prosecution by unprincipled, overzealous prosecutors from bob mueller's office. and, you know the department of justice finally came to their senses and said wait a minute. this case should have never been prosecuted. it was fraudulent to begin with and we will drop the charges. so live and doesn't want to do that. he has invited people with an agenda, former watergate prosecutors to come into the courtroom and tell them what to think and how to rule, which is ridiculous. and now, he has appointed a retired judge to come in there and invent a new crime with a charge for michael flynn, perjury for trying to withdraw his guilty plea. this is a clown show. sullivan is the head clown. he should recuse himself and frankly, he has no business being on a federal

mean that the appellate court is taking very seriously the fact that this district court judge, emmet sullivanthumbed his nose at the department of justice. the supreme court had ruled precisely on these points just a little over a week ago. >> well, judge sullivan has been called to the principal's office. the apell court is ordering him to answer what the heck are you doing. there's his chance. let's see what he tells the appellate court, but it sounds to me as if they're taking a much more assertive role here and is concerned by the conduct exhibited so far. lou: thank you very much. it's great to have you with us, john solomon. and it's justthenews.com. it's the news as far as i'm concerned. john solomon, appreciate it. stay with us, we're coming right back. ♪ ♪. lou: president trump today on the importance of reopening our economy. he was touring a ford production plant in michigan where they make masks and protective equipment. >> you have a lot of, unfortunately in this case democrat governors. i think they think it is good politics to keep it closed but what are they doing? they're hur

a federal a appellate court today ordering judge emmet sullivan to respond to the justice department's to dismiss the case by june 1st. this appellate court order orders sullivan to explain why he denied the justice department's request to dismiss the case. flynn's attorney, sidney paul, telling -- sidney powell, telling this broadcast the ruling indicates the appellate court sees a problem to the administration of justice and, certainly, that problem -- the focal point of that problem is none other than the judge, emmet sullivan. finish a former judge of elections in philadelphia, turning to the sublime from the absurd, has admitted he was stuffing democratic ballots for years. dominic demurro pleaded guilty to federal charges and faces up to 15 years in prison, admitting a political consultant bribed him to add fake votes for some democrats running for judge positions. also breaking tonight, the fbi says to today's shooting at the naval air station in corpus christi was a terrorist attack. the terrorist was shot dead, but a second person of interest may be at large in the community.

but judge emmet sullivan is the judge that oversaw the flynn case.has now hired an outside law firm to argue in front of the appeals court in favor of his decision to keep that case alive for now, despite orders from the justice department to drop the prosecution of michael flynn. now, flynn's lawyers went essentially above the head of judge sullivan, went straight to that appeals court, asking for the charges to be thrown out, as prosecutors had recommended from the justice department. but judge emmet sullivan did not immediately move on that motion to dismiss. and so now the appeals court is asking him by june 1st to explain his reasoning for not moving to end that case and to do so. judge emmet sullivan has hired that outside law firm, which, again, is just a nearly unprecedented move, a very unusual twist for the michael flynn saga. and we will see what that defense from judge sullivan is in the next couple of weeks. because again, june 1st is that deadline. victor and christi. >> plenty of those unprecedented twists. sarah westwood, thank you. >

two i want to get a little more into judge emmet sullivan. as you just said the department of justice, once they realized what happened to general flynn, dropped the case. however judge emmet sullivan who was overseeing the case, has temporarily dropped the deities attempt to drop the charges as you said it makes absolutely no sense. can you explain to the viewers at home what exactly that means of why this is so detrimental and scary as it relates to the judicial process? this judges attempted actions unprecedented. i have never heard of this. >> it wasn't a trump person, every criminal defense lawyer in the country would be screaming murder. here is what happened. the bar reviewed all things crossfire hurricane. you got durum looking at whether or not they committed the crime against carter page by getting a warrant illegally. they took a second look at the flynn case because these characters were pretty damn shady. they found information in a file not disclosed in the test the question is what's the purpose of the flynn interview? to get t

judge emmet sullivan. given how sullivan has been a little bit out of line along the way, a lot of people are wondering why he still on the case and i'm hearing in late 2018, sullivan admonished flynn for being an unregistered foreign agent of turkey, something he wasn't even charged with. then he asked prosecutors if flynn could have been charged with treason, noting later that he was "not hiding his disdain. i clerked for a couple pretty great federal judges on the appellate court, the second circuit and then in the supreme court. i can't imagine a sitting judge making those types of statemen statements. but sullivan is now preventing the doj from dropping the case, so he's allowed now outside parties to file amicus briefs, tonight an editorial in the journal spreads the move saying if the prosecution and defense both want to drop a case, can a federal judge reviews and sentence the defendant anyway? the easy call should be no, which makes all the more bizarre federal judge emmet sullivan's decision tuesd

courts are not allowed to switch jobs and become prosecutors and that is essentially what judge emmet sullivanlast couple of weeks, absolutely extraordinary. there is no precedent from it, for it. it is not allowed. it also defies a recent supreme court decision you unanimous and authored by justice ginsburg slapping down the ninth circuit sew lit iting friends from the court defrain issue for the parties when the parties briefed at something else. he has violated it on two fronts and possibly more. elizabeth: sidney, always great to have you on. we appreciate you coming in. we'll follow the case. sidney powell, great to see you, and we'll be certainly tracking what is going on with michael flynn and your representation of him. sidney powell. great to have you on. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: sure. senator lindsey graham says he has waited patiently for all the democrat probes to play out. now he says americans deserve to know, quote, just how bad and unethical the trump russia probe was. as republicans push forward with hearings and investigation into, investigations into obama officials. we're

. >> another twist in the flynn case, judge emmet sullivan appointing federal judge john gleason to look at the possibility that flynn opens up to new perjury charges because he pleaded guilty under oath but now wants to withdraw that plea, solana writes this shall address whether the court should issue an order to show parts by mister flynn should not be held in criminal contempt for perjury. more on that later today. as for grinnell, fox news is sold while he's not likely to testify on capitol hill, we expect more intel from him through perhaps congressional releases as we saw yesterday from senators johnson and grassley. >> the father and son charged in the killing of amaud arbery confronted him 2 weeks before the deadly shooting according to a neighbor of gregory and travis mc michael. diego perez says he helped them search for amaud arbery after he was spotted in this construction site in this video, believed to be the same site seen here today he was killed. the mc michaels say they thought amaud arbery was a burglar. the family says he was just out on a job. police are searching f

judge emmet sullivan has now postponed any case about michael flynn. this is a outrage. all they need us judge sullivan to sign off. judge sullivan wants to drag this out. why question mikey is inviting outside proof. judges giving time for anybody to make a case against his exoneration. how much more evidence, your honor, do you need question mike you have arti already treated fn unfairly in your court room. and you know what we are talking about. they said that no further delay should be tolerated. at this point, we have watched this judge attack general flynn and his attorney unfairly and wrongly ruled that there is no material withheld when there was. and the judge saw the need for liberal groups and deep state people supportive of all things obama. and their attorneys, to justify all the injustices and his court room. it is now time for a new and impartial judge in this case. flynn was subjected to misconduct, he went bankrupt from legal bills, he lost his family home, his reputation was destroyed. nearly four years of his life, now gone. an opportunity to smear fly

general of the united states to, to intercede with you and demand that the appellate court remove emmet sullivans necessary in order to honor its order to dismiss the case? >> yes, i think they should certainly join our petition for writ of mandamus to make sure that their motion to dismiss is granted, because it lies solely within the power of the executive branch and the department of justice to pursue any kind of prosecution under the constitution. and judge sullivan's gone out and made up an issue that doesn't exist in the case which is specifically contrary to the supreme court decision, unanimous last -- two weeks ago, i think, written by justice ginsburg. so there's no basis for them to do what they're doing at all, and the department of justice should definitely join our petition. lou: you know, you would think that amongst others chief justice john roberts would be sufficiently outraged by the conduct of a district court to basically tell the supreme court, the hell with you, watch this. we're going to be back with sidney powell as we continue an examination of this issue as well as the

judge emmet sullivan a clinton appointed activist judge, he hates flynn. he called him a traitor in court, totally biased. this week judge sullivan appoints another judge and asks this other judge to help him sentence an innocent man. think about that. it is against the law. and get this, this new judge, who sullivan tapped, hates bill barr, on the record. this new judge gleeson used to work with andrew weissman, mueller's dirtiest prosecutor, and his law firm, mrs. resistance, remember her? basically forcing trump to pardon flynn. they can't take the loss. they will do whatever it takes to make the flynn case legit because it's the last pillar holding up this entire hoax. "watters world" found something even more corrupt. watch this. mike flynn's original defense attorneys, the guys who were supposed to have his back, were in on the hoax also. covington and burling did a horrible job representing flynn. they never even asked prosecutors to see the key documents. they billed flynn 6 million dollars just to plead guilty to a hoax. they didn't even put up a
