Flynn could have cut your dick off ands used it to fiddle your prostrate all under Trump's direction and there'd be nothing Sullivan could do after Trump pardoned him.
In fact, the "principal object" of Rule 48(a)'s "leave of court" requirement was not to protect the interests of individual defendants, but rather to guard against dubious dismissals of criminal cases that would benefit powerful and well-connected defendants. In other words, it was drafted and enacted precisely to deal with the situation that has arisen in United States v. Flynn: its purpose was to empower the Judiciary to limit dismissal in cases where the district court suspects that some impropriety prompted the Executive's decision to abandon a case.
This has to do with folks crying about Sullivan not letting Flynn go after the DOJ recommendation. Pay attention Dr Ruth.
