PHRASING!

NEW: A panel of Appeals Court judges have ordered FLYNN judge Emmet Sullivan to explain why he didn't drop the case after the Justice Department asked him to.

His answer is due in 10 days.https://t.co/UFj2HojYmZ

Actually, what the panel did was allow Sullivan (and the government, if it chooses) to make his (and its) argument, too.

We usually call this “fairness.”
