I don't know the law well enough to judge, but after last night's stay at Holiday Inn Express, it occurs to me that Sullivan got caught in the middle. People on both sides of the Flynn case acted in bad faith, from his perspective. First, the prosecutors, who broke the rules over and over to GET Flynn. And for Flynn's part, he pled guilty to get the heat off, short term, but never turned state's evidence against Trump. I think it was that he didn't have any evidence to give, but he apparently kept stalling or failing to provide the 'dirt' that the prosecutors wanted.
Defendants who make a plea and then don't hold up their end of the plea agreement get pretty short shrift from the courts. What happened is pretty unprecedented, with the DOJ withdrawing all charges. Whatever the right of it is, the judge has a right to feel like he was played by prosecutors and defendant. That being said, he's acted a lot like a partisan hack in stretches.
