Former FISA Court Presiding Judge James Boasberg is no longer on the FISC. However, he continues to advance the interests of the DC Deep State with rulings specifically tailored to protect the national security state. [Boasberg Background Here]
In his latest ruling as the top federal judge in the DC circuit court, Boasberg has decided that executive privilege between President Trump and Vice-President Pence does not exist when it comes to any conversations that led up to Pence’s role on January 6th presiding over the senate and the confirmation process for state electoral votes.
Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system. In each case Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans, and including Boasberg’s personal appointment of Mary McCord to run defense on behalf of the corrupt DOJ main office.
ABC News – The top federal judge for the D.C. district court has issued a swift rejection of former President Donald Trump’s assertion of executive privilege to prevent former Vice President Mike Pence from testifying before a grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
At the same time, the judge issued a ruling that narrowly upheld parts of a separate legal challenge brought by Pence’s attorneys, who have argued Pence should be exempt from providing records or answering certain questions that align with his duties as president of the Senate overseeing the formal certification of the election on Jan. 6, 2021.
According to sources, D.C. Chief Judge James Boasberg ordered that Pence should have to provide answers to special counsel Jack Smith on any questions that implicate any illegal acts on Trump’s part.
Pence’s team had argued that such communications could run afoul of the Speech and Debate Clause that shields officials in Congress from legal proceedings specifically related to their work.
“The DOJ is continuously stepping far outside the standard norms in attempting to destroy the long accepted, long held, Constitutionally based standards of attorney-client privilege and executive privilege,” a Trump spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News. (read more)
The entire judicial system is corrupt.. soup to nuts, all of it.
They are setting themselves up for a very bad precedent and it will be used against them all.
Yes….
My second thought:
What goes around
-Comes around 🪃
If it didnt “come around” after the most powerful position was filled by President trump it will never come around through the system.
Have you not heard President Trump’s most recent speeches?
-Patience
✝️❤️🇺🇸
Unlikely. We operate under 2 sets of rules. Do a brief look at recent history. PDJT from Mueller, Impeachment to J6 prisoners to a raid on a President’s home.
No it won’t. Who is going to use it against them? I keep reading this and have yet to see anything or anyone remotely try .
Republicans never go after the left the way they go after us.
That’s because the Republicans are thru left. Just not open about it.
Everything that SCOTUS rules on is precedent and will not be successfully denied. They just established in SCOTUS that politicians’ families as well as the politicians themselves are subject to legislative access to tax and financial records. That one alone was huge.
If they do away with executive privilege? Watch out. Trump is not in danger. This guy is the most amazingly squeaky clean guy ever if they have to rehash previously failed investigations and charges.
Trump will appeal to SCOTUS and if they rule in his favor, “OK.” But if they rule in favor of the left? Watch out. It will come back to bite them.
Of course, the swamp can counter this by legislating executive privilege into law. Either way, they will lose a weapon or a defense.
Exactly! Makes you think dirty Harry Reid didn’t do PDT a big solid when he screwed up the majority vote for Judge confirmations.
Not even President Trump did to them what they did to him after getting into power.
Accept the obvious that war is an ongoing, every day thing in every level of human governance. Sometimes using bullets, bombs and bayonets, sometimes using bogus elections, sometimes using big money law firms. It’s always war, and our constitution is not able to stop it. Ideologues will use any means possible to win and they don’t give a damn about right or wrong. We weren’t willing to fight back and so we find ourselves looking on helplessly.
He now knows who most everyone is.
Nothing will stop him when he is back in the White House.
-God willing
✝️❤️🇺🇸
It was just his first term. He knew what he was up against.
The term “lame duck” will never apply to Trump. Not lame. Not a duck. A lion on a mission.
Sorry, Daniel–it’s wishful thinking on your part. You have to be realistic.
Really? What did the new house committees do as it relates to financial records of the Biden family?
as we have seen repeatedly, there is no one who will use it against them all; not the gop, not congress, not the judiciary, not the doj/fbi, not even the corrupt media.
not even president trump used their own precedents against them.
How did that…drop the filibuster for judges thing work out?
There is no time that PT has stepped outside the Constitution. But he did suggest that we may have to operate outside the Constitution when it came to The fake administration. I believe this was stated on TS a while back but don’t hold me to it. My guess as to why PT said this was that there is no remedy in the Constitution for the removal of an illegitimate President. So far his calls for action have been ignored. I personally believe that impeachment is not appropriate because Biden is not the President. So I guess the remedy would have to be through the court system using SCOTUS “Fraud vitiates Everything” ruling.
Exactly! No pre-election remedy exists for the purging of a vile, deceptive and suicidal regime/administration. NONE. It’s why I’m realistic about our founding docs. They are way too genteel.
They know that. Which is why getting power back from them will be full of casualties. Like all how all totalitarians behave when the people resist them. They become more and more oppressive, making more and more people their enemies. They’re never wrong; we are. They comfort themselves with that unshakable belief when hey perpetrate crimes against humanity desperately trying to hold onto power. We, The People will win our nation back in the end. The only questions are when and how many lives destroyed will be reflected in their evil legacy. “You can vote yourself into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.” If history doesn’t repeat it certainly rhymes.
They are out of ammunition to use against Trump. They have resorted to fake reloads of old cases and ain’t gonna work. They simply don’t know what else to do. Everything they have been trying has been failing and even their hopes of DeSantis stepping in isn’t going to happen now.
If you think the GOPe has any courage to use that very bad precedent against their own UniParty. I doubt it. That’s why the dRATS keep pushing the redline knowing they will get away with it. Spying on a Presidential candidate and President. Watergate was for pikers.
Republicans don’t have the testicles to use this stuff against the Dems. They might get called a racist.
What applies to Republicans does NOT apply to Democrats.
Remember? “Lock her up”… and who got locked up?
Not if it isn’t appealed.
They are setting themselves up for a very bad precedent and it will be used against them all.
Curious, by who….Republicans? Oh, please, don’t make me laugh.
👍😑
Oh no…, that would violate the ethics & norms of the empty suit portion of the UniParty.
They’ll never do such a thing.
It will never be used against them. Hypocrisy, inconsistency, double standard is the normal operating procedure.
Here is your deep State MVP right here. The queen of random selection. https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-caesar-a096b444
TPTB have long since abandoned caring about appearances and now rub our noses in it. They can so they do.
Pence missed his chance to make history and, in so doing, reinvented himself as just another washed-up former politician.
You spelled Judas wrong.
The guy who had close relationships with Peter and his lover is now denying executive privilege and still sits on the bench ?
Captured!
Does his masters bidding.
Honestly, I do not believe these tyrannical thugs will get away with this.
I know, I know…so many believe otherwise OR maybe HOPE otherwise But I go back to all the research I have done over many years on Donald J. Trump.
He continues to be underrated and underestimated.
They really do believe that they’ve GOT HIM this time.
BUT I believe President Trump has plenty on all of them and it will be exposed when the time is right.
It’s a long time until primary season and then after that the general November 2024.
Everyday someone else is exposed.
TY for the news!
He has the evidence they are all demonic pedophiles. Thats why they want him destroyed.
Trump
Has
Brought sun light for sure
But
Believe in us, We The People, Red Blooded Americans that will win this fight. The makings of a second Forth of July. We can talk all we want be eventually we are going to need to get off our ass and rally in the streets and do what needs to be done.
Unless you have a magic formula for thorough education reform and a means of screening out atheists you’re going nowhere. That’s what “needs to be done.” 2A means nothing with schools churning out zombies.
Trump cannot do it by himself.
People are -really- waking up.
-More, everyday.
He will not be alone.
I hope they don’t get away with this, but I don’t really think they care if they convict him or not, they want to create an illusion that PT has lost enough support for when they cheat again.
The Executive privilege issue should be appealed to SCOTUS. Same for attorney client privilege. This judge is not above the law.
He’s above the law because his politics are correct, he’s one of the “right” people. He’s doing exactly what his masters demand.
Awww, that’s precious. A Treeper who still believes SCOTUS isn’t a part of protecting the Homeland from domestic threats to the elite’s power. I remember being young and innocenct, too…
…Then I started going to gala’s, charity ball’s, clanking glasses and enjoying hors d’ouevres with the swanky crowd, engaging in the small talk and ego-stroking that defines a gathering of politicians, business leaders, lawyers, doctors, academics and other status-driven attendees. It’s at those parties where lawyers network their way into judgeships, stroking the egos of those who may fulfill their highest ambitions one day, every vacancy jockeying for the appointment, expertly using proxies and others hoping to benefit from their ascension to become one of the high priests of the state. That’s how every single member of SCOTUS got there…though maybe Clarence Thomas was a token pick who fate smiled on. But who has held most true to the Constitution that we were taught (indoctrinated) we had instead of the one we actually have.
An “independent judiciary” is a myth that benefits from the unearned trust of the American people that judges are somehow immune to the very same political pressures and temptations that the people they clanked glasses with and stroked the egos of are the worst offenders of exploiting the people, shaking them down for every dime they may have loose in their pockets. Judges exist to protect the upper crust of society they proved their loyalty to at those same parties I used to go to. I learned the game, played well enough to keep getting invited back, until I couldn’t stomach that scene anymore and began to speak my authentic mind. But I remember being Pollyanna-ish, too. So, so innocent back then.
The complete lack of ethics among some Judges/Prosecutors/Grand Juries is beyond the pale.
“I don’t remember”
“I can’t recall”
He can just refuse to answer, isn’t that what all the deep state does?
They want Trump indicted in DC. They want a jury from DC. They are setting up all the pieces, timing is what they are waiting on. They want the timing to cause the most political damage for the 2024 election. They want Trump tied up in a DC courtroom during the critical time of the campaign season and not out holding rallies.
Or they and the republicans want the timing of the indictment and trial to take place around the Republican Convention so that the RNC can deny Trump a place on the republican ticket. It would be the justification angle for choosing another candidate regardless of the delegate count. Uniparty skulduggery.
Would DeSantis be that other candidate? curious cat is eyeballing it.
If the Uniparty denies Trump a place on the R ticket, his name will be written in. And he will get more than the 20 million votes that Ross Perot got!
He will get my vote.
Many states don’t have write-in options.
.
Options?
We don’t need no stinkin’ optional ‘line’ to write TRUMP on our ballots!
They won’t count write-in votes
Rix six,
I believe you have “nailed it” in your second surmise.
It’s blatantly obvious that the RNC does NOT want PDJT as the nominee in 2024.
But, WHY do they not simply DENY him the parties ‘endorsement’ which is the parties “permission” (required) in for ANY Candidate to run as a (R) candidate?
Because they know WE would walk, because it would be too blatant (although, since WE are not the dummies they insist on believing WE are) for us, they have already crossed that Rubicon.
They need AN EXCUSE to do what they desperately WANT to do, that they actually think they can “sell” and that WE and ‘the World’s would “buy”.
After all, even though there is no law prohibiting a candidate under indictment from running, (Hillary and Joe having gone to great lengths to avoid just that) they will SAY;
“A the Republican Party, we can not have as our “standard bearer” a Candidate that is under indictment. Therefore we regret to announce the Republican Party can not endorse PDJT as a REPUBLICAN Candidate for POTUS, in 2024 election.”
They have been positioning this, along with RDS as “the great white hope” (boxing term, look it up) for the Republican party, allegedly “Uniting the Party”.
Guess what, war plans never survive first contact with the enemy.
“There are the things you know, the things you know you DON’T know,…and those you CAN plan for.
But then, there are the things you DON’T know, that you don’t know.
HOW can you plan for THOSE?
They never planned for PDJT to “flip the script”, which was to use trying the case “in the court of opinion”, after the arrest.
By leaking and follow up by PDJT, in advance of their roll out, he had it “tried” in “the court of public opinion” AND got his “side” of the argument out FIRST.
Truth running around the world, before the lie could get it’s shoes tied.
Something they never planned for; their enemies
reaction.
Jui jitso, is using the opponents own movements against it.
I don’t know what they are talking about, when they say “Trump jui jitsu”,..do you?:-)
I’m guessing there will be a lot of squaring that circle by the 2024 convention. I suggest our anger at RDS be conditional because we may not be given an alternative, as sad as that is. I just prefer him in FL until 2026. He’s good where he is.
This judge looks like a rabid animal.
they do not meet the criteria to be called HUMAN !
Don’t insult any animals, rabid or otherwise!
Check his hard drive.
Predict “threats” against the judge in 3… 2… 1…
If the fb I has a long file on Ivana Trump….
Wonder what they really have on him🤔
There are certain cities in the USA where the rule of law no longer applies. DC is one of those cities. So, how will the constitutional crisis be resolved. That is the question. This struggle between totalitarianism and freedom-to-choose could persist for long time.
Perhaps James O’Keefe needs to do some investigating. You know this judge is bought and paid for.
Would he not have to recuse himself? The bias is very obvious.
The buried lead; the part upheld was Pence not providing any documents or answering any questions, that align with him acting as President of the SENATE, overseeing the counting of the electors votes.
Put this together with regitigers analyses; they are preemptively insuring no one asks inconvenient questions that would reveal what regitiger has outlined.
Who told you to evacuate and when did they tell you?
What conversations did you have, and with WHO, about how/what you would do, when you resumed?
That part of the Judges decision is at least as impactful as the other.
They WANT him to be able to trash TRUMP, but without any possibility of exposing what the operation was REALLY about, and this decision threads that needle.
Once again, without regitigers analyses, we would see this decision in a whole different way!
I wondered about that angle also. Seems Pence is well covered by TPTB.
Pence actually has a good argument on the merits for the Speech and Debate clause. Pence may have to show up but nothing says he has to open his mouth but we all know he will. This Boasberg fellow truly is an O’Bama judge but we already knew that didn’t we….
Again, corrupt Lawyers, corrupt Politician Lawyers(almost half of Congress are Lawyers) and a corrupt complicit Judiciary has destroyed our Republic…..It’s not even debatable at this point……
It is obvious that all levels of government have conspired against President Trump to deny him any constitutional rights and executive privileges. Clinton was impeached. Were are of his lawyers targeted where atty/client privileges were denied? Any executive privileges invoked that were denied either by Clinton or other Presidents?
So Pence will lie with impunity. Sounds familiar. Further supports that our judicial system has also been totally compromised with ideological beliefs and not point of law.
All these subversive leftist judges make illegal rulings that enable most republican office holder and the RNC to say there is nothing we can do to stop corruption . It’s in the hands of the courts..
Rinse and repeat as our country is flushed down the drain.
Those who have no interest in putting up a fight look for any excuse so they can turn and run.
Deep state at it’s very best.
Don’t worry Johnathan Turley will pen an article saying this was not a legally based ruling .
Then everything will be OK.
God takes vows (what one swears to uphold) very seriously. Each and every Judge and representative ‘swears to God’ to uphold the responsibilities of his office. Even the local Sheriff, officer, Trooper is ‘sworn in’.
Eccl. 5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed—
5 Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.
6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?
“Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This is the word which the Lord has commanded. 2 If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.’” (Nu. 30:1-2).
God warns us not to “swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God.” (Lev. 19:12).
“You shall not take the Lord’s name in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.” (Dt. 5:11).
There are always two solutions to bad ideology, prayer for removal or extreme prejudice for removal. I prefer prayer, but sometimes, there may be a need for action.
Everyone saw this coming, Boasberg has always been corrupt. Should be a lay up at scotus. Executive privilege is pretty cut and dry.
Lawfare has become more and more a diabolical weapon. Around the world. Take a look at Israel, for instance. The various so called ‘world courts’ and elsewhere. In dozens of states up and down the bureaucracies. Soros and his cohorts are getting their money’s worth.
All part of the reset, with the illusion that the ‘rules based order’ has legitimacy above and beyond the individuals who orchestrate the details.
One of the ways 3rd world countries eliminate political opposition…
They have them charged/arrested for whatever they can.
This is NOT about Justice…it is all politics.
.
‘Something’ was presented in Congress by Rep. Gosar (with a Senator co-sponsoring) which prompted the motion to conference on J6.
If, in the interest of the siloing of ‘classified’ information, what was presented that day gave rise to a purported national security issue due to being related to classified information, then:
– Pence could claim he was being pressured to breach national security issues which President Trump may have had no idea about due to that siloing!
– Pence could argue he had to disregard that information because it, being a national security ‘matter’ could not just be allowed debate of the whole Congress, writ large, without first going through the ‘intelligence committees’ first!
– Pence may have been compromised by the ‘national security’ asset and not want any disclosure of same!
– Pence may have been led to believe that the ‘national security’ asset had long ago been neutralized, and did not ‘trust’ the information being presented to Congress!
– Pence could have been assured that if the ‘national security’ asset wished to be ‘outed’, then all this could be ‘handled’ when that occurred!
Do you want to be a pariah, Pence?
Think logically, Mike.
If a ‘national security’ asset supplied personal information that contained material which gave rise to the lack of integrity of the 2020 election, that ‘asset’ has declassified themself!
What interest is it of the U.S. government to try to keep that which the ‘asset’ wishes to reveal from being revealed?
If that guy showed up as a volunteer at any of my kids’ activities, I’d grab them and leave ASAP. What a creepo.
Thank you Mistress Lisa – may I have another?
Congress has given up all their power and authority.
Reminds me how the EPA works. During normal times you have to have asbestos and lead paint abatement done on all projects. A tornado hits and it’s just throw it in the landfill.
This is true.
Well Pence could always.. “Plead the 5th”.or of course his memory
become foggy and he can;t “recollect”
Judas Pence is foaming at the mouth to testify! Who’s kidding whom here? Now he simply has convenient cover to furrow his unibrow and act all saintly and stoic as he twists the knife.
God sees you Mike.
It seems that the Bush’s are associated with the Carlyle Group and the group’s founder is Rubenstein, and Rubenstein with Biden. Were you really expecting something else?
Boasberg was confirmed to the federal bench in 2011, after receiving a nod from President George W. Bush for a position on the DC Superior Court eight years prior. The local DC Court is where the former college basketball player cut his chops as assistant US attorney, specializing in homicide prosecutions.
As a student at Yale Law School, Boasberg lived in a house with now-Justice Kavanaugh and six other law students. The group of former roommates still remain close and organize annual trips together.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/16/politics/chief-judge-howell-boasberg/index.html
It seems any republican does not have the same rights as any dem office holder. Of course they will all be dems now so no danger of happening too them.
So who else is connected to the Bush’s, Boasberg. And he is doing what?
Let me remind you of this – the Bush’s are connected to the Carlyle Group. And this is important because the founder of this same group is David Rubenstein
Biden’s crime cartel spent the last 2 thanksgivings at the mansion of the Carlyle Group founder, billionaire David Rubenstein. The corruption is in our faces.
Note: Some of the national donors who bankrolled Bush’s 1998 effort would ultimately become members of the “Pioneer” program that bundled large sums for Bush’s successful 2000 presidential campaign.
It’s important to realize Bush’s connection to the Carlyle Group now and DeSantis’s connection to the same fund-raising group used by Bush. Suggest that this action had been in planning prior to June 2021.

DeSantis cashes in on rising star status with big-money blitz
By Alex Isenstadt
06/07/2021 07:03 PM EDT
When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis addresses a group of well-heeled Republican Party donors on Thursday, he won’t be on home turf like Naples’ “Millionaires’ Row” or in Indian Creek Island’s “Billionaire Bunker” — he’ll be across the country in San Diego, one of the GOP’s few traditional power centers in California.
The appearance is part of an aggressive summertime out-of-state fundraising swing, with DeSantis capitalizing on his rising profile to stuff his reelection coffers and cultivate a national donor network that could power a prospective 2024 presidential bid.
Just going to say it… looking at this picture of this Judge, I would say it’s a fairly likely possibility that he has a LOT of proclivities that he would like to be kept quiet, which makes him very open to being blackmailed!
My Lord, is anyone surprised Boasberg is still a giant scumbag? Treeps, it’s hard to imagine the depth of the hate these swampers have for us. They will go to any lengths, break the law, take any chance, climb out on the flimsiest branch, just to deliver their currency of fear, in hopes of silencing us.
They never learn, the harder they torment us, the more we bond. Their day is coming.
Biden is a criminal, and a sick, incestual pedophile. Anyone with half of their gray matter can see it.
It truly sickens me that his handlers and the press act like there is no problems here.
Clown country USA.
The entire
judiciallegal system is corrupt.. soup to nuts, all of it.Judging from what law schools have been turning out in recent years, the judiciary is only the tip of the iceberg.
The whole system needs to be held accountable. It is time all the traders pay for their crimes.
Our system is 95% insane. No place for honesty or recourse for lawlessness. None. Who do you blame? The absolute worst people end up at the top. Is this the beauty of a republic? If so you can have it.
So, precedence set? What comes around, goes around. Now, let THAT sink in.
This judge says Pence must testify personally, but his docs will be kept private.
So basically, Judas Pence will spin his Uniparty tale, but won’t be forced to produce extemporaneous docs that would prove/disprove his tale. Obviously, St. Mike would never lie, so we’ll trust whatever he says, right?
No. It’s a setup, obviously.
I think the Uniparty is now banking on a Hail Mary J6 prosecution of Trump. Nothing they’ve tried has worked so far, and Desantis is a dead man walking, so Trump is the nominee a year from now unless something intervenes, J6 or something other…
They can try to knock him off the ballot state by state, I suppose. They do that with some candidates successfully, but Trump already has a plan for that cooking, you may depend. Soros and his shadow realm statelet goblins will have to come out in the Supreme Court sunshine over that one.
There are women of a certain age and a certain look and likewise with men and this guy falls right into that bin.
A new judge takes over leadership of the U.S. trial court in Washington, inheriting oversight of secret proceedings involving special counsel criminal investigations into former President Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents and efforts by him and his allies to undo his 2020 election loss.
James “Jeb” Boasberg becomes the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, replacing Judge Beryl Howell as her term comes to an end. Is this appointment Ron DeSantis’ fault and a lack of loyalty, too?
Forget about Alvin Bragg. What Jack Smith is about to do is a much bigger concern. He was brought in specifically to indict Trump. It’s wrong, it’s terrible but stop pretending because it’s reality.
Chris, yes, Desantis’ lawlessness, and Pence’s, and their blatant servility to the Uniparty, gives them a share of the blame for that appointment. A crack in the Uniparty monolith creates other cracks. Those 2 and others stand with Uniparty criminals, on anti-crack control.
LOOK AT HIS EYES!
Every single time!
He was also appointed by Judge Roberts to i investigate FISA abuse arising out of Russiagate. He did nothing but rubber stamp the crimes committed by the DOJ and FBI.
Looks like the creepy bad guy in the Clint Eastwood movie “In the line of Fire.”
Malkovich played the part so well.
If Pence had any political sense, he’d refuse to testify and get himself arrested to earn some MAGA cred.
Another one that looks like an Epstein Island frequent flyer..
