The three-judge panel's 2-1 rulin — authored by RAO — focused heavily on the "presumption of regularity" that attaches to DOJ actions, and notes that the new evidence submitted by DOJ, which led to move to dismiss charges, should be treated as good-faith. pic.twitter.com/tBhCaGpiwZ

Ruling was 2-1, Henderson and Rao ruling for Flynn. Wilkins dissented.
Me a few weeks ago after Sullivan’s attempted “defense” to the writ:
“Strong chance of a writ of mandamus being issued for Flynn 2-1 after this hot garbage” ?https://t.co/hoyBOQckMq

The ruling is only “partially” for @GenFlynn, as the appeals court ordered:
—Sullivan to dismiss the case
—Gleeson’s appointment as “amicus” immediately “vacated”. Bye Felicia!
—However they declined to grant the request to kick Judge Sullivan off the case immediately

On Fox News, Judge Napolitano said that now “General Flynn can actually sue the DOJ for the $6.7 million-plus dollars he spent on legal fees because the prosecution against him was not in good faith.”
