Maybe not against the rules.  Maybe it is.  That is up to the appeals court to determine.

WapPo in article today:
"A federal judge doesn’t typically hire private counsel to respond to an appeals court"

He is essentially a participant in this case now.  Perhaps it's time for a new judge.  [/quote]

A federal judge usually isn't asked to provide an argument in person by a partisan and unqualified judicial appointee like Judge Rao.[/quote]

"Partisan and unqualified?"  LOL
There were two other judges, pal.  And, they seem to think there is something to the brief that was filed.

And, a federal judge usually doesn't object to dropping a case when both sides agree that is what needs to be done.  [/quote]

The case isn't ripe for the action taken. Flynn made the plea and is thus guilty of the crime. He needs to serve the time. DOJ had NO business intervening at this juncture, and particularly with a flawed document with no new facts, mis-signed by an attorney who isn't even at the DOJ anymore.

There is plenty of evidence that the case should have never begun. 
Did you read the article by Eli Lake?

Yes. Eli Lake was bad in his analysis, mostly by telling half truths and errors of omission.

This is the same Eli Lake that is vociferously defending Benjamin Netanyahu, whose trial begins today. Think there isn't a self-interested tie there given Flynn's illegal representation of Israeli interests counter to the US in 2016?[/quote]

sorry, friend.  I will read and consider anything Eli Lake writes before Marcy Wheeler, the conspiracy theorist.  [/quote]

All she is doing us citing sources. He purposefully ignores facts in his argument. That doesn't make her a conspiracy theorist.[/quote]
