Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Yesterday Judge Emmet Sullivan formally asked the entire U.S. Court of Appeals to overturn a ruling that Michael Flynn’s criminal case must be thrown out. At the time, Palmer Report explained that if Sullivan was successful in convincing the court to do this, it would be a major blow to Bill Barr.

Now it turns out the U.S. Court of Appeals has granted Judge Sullivan’s request to hear the case. This is half the battle, as the court could have simply denied Sullivan’s request to hear the case. So what are his odds of prevailing?

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner tweeted that he “strongly” suspects the court will end up siding with Judge Sullivan. We’ll see what happens. But it’s clear that Bill Barr isn’t going to be able to get Michael Flynn off the hook easily, like he was hoping.
