The main decision was unsigned, but it appeared likely that the judges voted 8 to 2; only Judges Rao and Henderson signed dissents. (An 11th judge on the court, Gregory Katsas — who, like Judge Rao, used to work for the Trump White House — recused himself.)

The ruling means that Judge Sullivan can proceed with his long-delayed plans to hold a hearing about the Justice Department’s request to dismiss the case before he rules on it.

The court majority ruled that it was premature for Mr. Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, to ask the appeals court to intervene before the judge ruled on the motion to dismiss the case. The majority noted that if Judge Sullivan rules against her client, she can appeal.

The court also rejected Ms. Powell’s argument that the case should be assigned to a different judge because Judge Sullivan had appointed a so-called amicus to critique the government’s arguments and then asked the full appeals court to overturn the panel’s order.

Russia tries to sow discord here. They use our current divisions against us. I'm sorry if that makes you angry at Democrats.

We’ve received a whistleblower complaint alleging DHS suppressed intel reports on Russian election interference, altered intel to match false Trump claims and made false statements to Congress.

This puts our national security at risk. We will investigate:

Former director of national intelligence Dan Coats could not shake his "deep suspicions" that Russian President Vladimir Putin "had something" on President Trump, seeing "no other explanation" for the president's behavior, according to Bob Woodward's new book "Rage," which was obtained by CNN ahead of its publication next week.

Why it matters: Coats was the president's top intelligence official from March 2017 until August 2019. Woodward reports that Coats and his staff examined the intelligence regarding Trump's ties to Russia "as carefully as possible" and that he "still questions the relationship" between Trump and Putin despite the apparent absence of intelligence proof.

I still consider it a toss-up whether Trump is compromised by Russia. Glad to see the top intelligence guy in the country, who Trump appointed, felt the same way.
