Emmet Sullivan — in his 36 years as a judge, and in handling Michael Flynn's case for the last two-and-a-half — has mastered the art of surprise
Michael Flynn's attorney and conservative commentator Sidney Powell sent Judge Emmet Sullivan a copy of her book in 2014, about a criminal case he handled where he obliterated the Justice Department's work. Writing to the judge she's called a hero, the Texas-based lawyer inscribed on the third page:"Judge Emmet Sullivan, to all those who seek, hallow, and do Justice. With the greatest respect and gratitude for your honorable service.
Five years later, Powell stood face-to-face with Sullivan in her first hearing representing Flynn, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI days into the new administration. It was a short meet-and-greet type of hearing. Sullivan held up the book in his Washington, DC, courtroom, acknowledged he had read the complimentary parts about him, thanked her for sending it and moved on.Powell left the courtroom glowing.
