Judge Boasberg said: “By March 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Defendants shall submit a sworn declaration by a person with direct involvement in the Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege;” (link)
Deputy AG Todd Blanche responds:
[SOURCE]
Boasberg gets the legal equivalent of “yup” from Blanche.
Funny.
.
Keep in mind, this is the way the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals framed the issue of “national security” invocation by the Jack Smith probe.

shove that up your left nostril boasberg
is boasberg a mad german?
Yes.
German jewish name, derived from Yiddish or German meaning ‘good mountain.’
or just German. His wife and children are unequivocally gentile.
What’s the word for “bad mountain”?
awful heap
Bwahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
That would be my morning #2 after several cups of coffee.
Ewwww!
Lolol😀
… meaning Big Moonbat.
Hmmm…..I cannot find any ‘German’ translation for Boasberg. https://en.langenscheidt.com/german-english/search?term=Boasberg&q_cat=%2Fgerman-english%2F. Nor can I find any indication on the internet of his religion. Do you have any links??
Berg is definitely mountain in German. Boaz is Hebrew. From (1) the prefix ב (be), in, and (2) the verb עזז (‘azaz), to be strong.
From AI on twitter: ‘
According to the Wikipedia entry on James Boasberg, he was born in San Francisco, California, in 1963, to Jewish parents, Sarah Margaret (née Szold) and Emanuel Boasberg III. The family later moved to Washington, D.C. This information is part of his biographical background as detailed in the web search results provided.’
Not that his religion makes any difference.
Of course not. It just must be a coincidence that our government is loaded to the brim with folks of a particular religion whose name we are not allowed to mention.
You mean Pelosi, McConnell, Romney, Biden, Obama? Those folks?
Being antisemitic doesn’t strengthen your statement. Boasberg’s religion (by birth) isn’t the reason he’s corrupt, evil and demented. It’s his lack of it.
Born of Jewish parents. In many instances Jewish is cultural, not religious.
Correct
Here ya go…another “random coincidence”…
Boasberg was born in San Francisco, California, in 1963, to Jewish parents, Sarah Margaret (née Szold) and Emanuel Boasberg III.
Boasberg by day.
Nosferatu by night.
That would be a great start. But it needs to be shoved into every body opening.
“National Security” should accompany every task that PDJT-MAGA-DOGE does. Sorry, can’t touch this. It’s National Security.
Agree – if the CIA can get away with this response, so can President Trump – even more so.
Because “Methods and resorces” 😜
Yep. Throw their words back into their faces.
…it worked for Garland, Wray and Smith!
But if you want to eliminate that excuse in the future, can’t use it that way now.
It is a reasonable approach when used appropriately, as in this instance. We would have to eliminate most of the Constitution if we based it on how the left abuse it.
🎯
I CONCUR!!
I can think of a better place,
SIDEWAYS!
You’re much nicer than me, as I’d have stated another location.
Ummmm… I prefer he shove it “a little further south”…
<shove that up your left nostril boasberg>
Not surprisingly…
Boasberg has two left nostrils 🙂
Of a sudden the Judge shall come and the deeds of each shall be laid bare . . . .
But that Circuit Court decision only applies to support Democrat administrations!
It in no way can be used by Republicans! sarc/if needed.
Great to see
Gotta say….it took them long enough
Will it work when they try to put injunction on Dept of Educ closeing?
….be prepareing another angle.
Damnn we are in interesting times
Winning is fun
Screwing with corrupt judges is funner…
President Trump is allowing them time so that the American people can see and digest just what the Democrat Party is. He’s got to reveal it before stopping it.
Agree
Calling our Congress critters to push for legislation would be time well spent
See treads on X some stuff in the mill in both houses
Also the manly equivalent of, “Judge Boastberg, POUND SAND!”
Was hoping to scroll down and see Mickey giving the salute!
Sooner or later, I am sure you will see said varmint saluting.
We all know how some people roll.
And earlier than 3/25.
We don’t need to wait to tell you “because of the sensitivity of the matter”.
Buh bye.
Checkmate !
Poor Boas him big mad.
Screw you, Boas….
The American People!
Screw you Boas and your ham sandwich.
Not so much…
Republicans have read Alinsky. Make them (the courts) play by the rules.
This would by my reply.
Go pound sand.
Or, fly a kite.
Find your place.
Undo your illusions.
Consider honesty.
Kindness is a virtue.
You know better.
Overcome your hate.
Up your virtue.
Respond kindly.
Savor goodness.
Embrace the law.
Live judiciously.
Forget the left.
18th Century……”Fornicate thyself and the steed upon which you arrived.” From a 21st century meme.
I hope you don’t mind if I steal that! That’s excellent use of language.
The next step should be to revoke Boasberg’s security clearance. This would also automatically remove him from the FISA court.
“I am sorry your Honor, but we can not give you that information because you do not have the proper security clearance”
That is an excellent suggestion! The Executive Controls Security Clearances. It’s a privilege not a right.
Elsewhere, I suggested the President go even further. He has exclusive, and very powerful, Article II powers.
Declare this judge’s orders, and by extension the judge, a National Security risk. He is directly interfering in core Article II duties entirely reserved to the President. And completely outside confines of his Article III charter in doing so.
Patently and facially so.
That ends the clearance, and also opens the door to surveillance and referral for investigation, and possible impeachment, by the House.
And just that punishing process would put a swift end to this inferior judicial rebellion by example.
The President doesn’t need the appellate judiciary or SCOTUS to do any of this. It is completely outside their Article III wheelhouse.
Brilliant.
This inferior federal judiciary has been asking for it, for a long time now.
And it’s well past time that they got it.
And I can think of no one better to administer a Constitutional whipping than PDJT.
This Congress will not interfere under Article I if he does so.
Problem is ….there is no downside risk to their actions
Even if Trump Admin finds a route thru it
The left will or already has rewarded him
Need severe downside risk in the equation
I think PDJT wants to expose even more of these corrupt judges before he pulls the string.
This judge is a particularly special example of gross overreach.
There is no more settled exclusive power of the Executive under the Constitution that are entirely firewalled from the other Branches than matters of National Security.
This rogue judge just threw a brick through that barrier. He has attemped to impair one of the President’s Article II core duties. The President has every right to defend and protect those duties and powers.
Time to administer the consequences upon this seditious judge. Yes, a contention of sedition could even be plausibly argued in this particular instance.
He has directly interfered in the defense of the Nation. Knowingly.
The Founders were not cowed by our contemporary artificial deferences to such rogues.
Amen and Amen! Our Original Founders weren’t cowed by “such rogues” foreign or domestic as Boasberg!!! ” And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” To me President Trump and Elon Musk represent New Founders risking everything to save the Republic and the Constitution of our Original Founders!!! JMO
Congress could eliminate his jurisdiction and him in the process.
It’s past time for an approach like this to be taken. What Boasberg is doing is outrageous. Protecting our country from alien criminals is one of the President’s most important duties, and no judge can interfere with it. And I don’t care if the Supreme Court says otherwise-President Trump should refuse to comply with any court orders interfering with his Article II responsibilities and keep the flights going. The Federal Marshal Service is under DOJ and thus the President. There is no way for any court to enforce an order intruding on the President’s powers.
I agree. Let the sludge come to the top for all to see then send in the machinery to clean it out.
He can only do that with a lot of public congressional support. He can’t risk a lot of uniparty congress critters going sour on him. He’s holding together the most fragile of coalitions and he must be very careful.
Personally, IDK why he isn’t constantly being up how Boasberg was at the epicenter of the corrupt Russia hoax.
And his daughter’s conflict of interest.
Maybe then, he could take action against him, safely.
This weak Congress won’t lift a finger to intervene in this. They can’t even find the fortitude to pass a budget.
But they might join in the President’s beatdown of a corrupt judge threatening National Security, for the high profile soundbites and donation opportunities it presents.
This President is far too politically powerful now for them to fight this. Their base is with him. This Republican Congress will follow.
But PDJT has to initiate this.
I don’t agree with you.
Removing a judge is a Huge deal. Far too many will be lukewarm on going forward. Especially those in swing districts, over what the media will portray as “not liking a judge’s decision” and not about corruption, conflict of interest, violation of constitution, etc.
I think the republicans should start being very vocal in the media about doing so, about holding hearings and potentially ordering Boasberg to appear before the committees, so the message gets out there in the ether.
But they are Not going to want to do the heavy lifting. Not without some genuine and irrefutable constitutional or criminal violation they can use to gang him.
“Hang” him
Quote of the month Souldier! Brilliant brillo move to scrub these satanist a-holes. We can only hope they are reading here at the CTH. Will pass along through TSocial. 👏😎
I totally agree with you. Ordering aircraft to turn around in mid-flight is madness.
Roberts defending him is collective madness, collusion and a constitutional breach.
This has been done before. While Sessions was AG, a judge ordered him to have an airplane turn around and return a deportee.
Ye, well, Sessions…
Military tribunal.
What the F are we waiting for. Do IT TODAY.
Boasberg has a long track record of wrong decisions that were overturned!
Agreed…Congress should institute a ‘Three strikes’ law for judges. Lower court judges who are multiply overturned have made lawfare possible. If a judge has such poor judgement that he is regularly overturned, he should be turned out of office. Such a consideration would make them more careful in their opinions. As it is, they win even while losing. The process is the punishment. Add some consequences for the judges.
Todd is Trump’s guy. Right person to respond.
As a fellow Greg, I approve your message!
Effing AAAAA!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Now they’re cooking’ with fire!!!
Recall the prison scene in Goodfellas where Paulie is slicing a garlic bud…with a razor blade stating that it brings more flavor when cooking because the slices are so thin. Seems to me our judicial branch of government, occupied by those who swore to be balanced in their decisions–away from political feelings, thoughts or beliefs, slice their way to a decision they want for reasons they hide behind cherry picked case laws, etc.
Perhaps that black robe can put a spell on some people who don it over time!
Let’s point some fingers in the direction of those we think have fallen to such a devilish fantasy, such as perhaps Judge Boasberg…Chief Justice Roberts’ buddy apparently in so many ways.
I recall the antics of Judge Sullivan toward General Flynn in wondering just how large this group may be.
Roberts is Pilate; actually worse and less of a man than Pilate because he does not try as Pilate did multiple times; bringing Jesus in and out though weak and cowardly, afraid more for his job and the consequences of losing his position, not facing the truth by deflecting with his question “What is truth?”, not waiting for an answer because he was indifferent to the deeper moral philosophical implications of what the truth is. He did this by responding with a cynical dismissal of Jesus’ claim.
Roberts claim?
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that
impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement
concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review
process exists for that purpose.”
Pilate afraid of losing his position/job with and responsibilty to the Romans. Afraid of the people roused by the Pharisees/Sadducees.
“What is truth?” retorted Pilate. Pilate’s question serves to highlight Jesus’ innocence and the unjust nature of the proceedings. Pilate indecisive, hoping to wash his hands of responsibiliy stated (shoving responsibility to ‘custom); yet asked) – forcing responsibility on the answers onto the crying mob (this judicial mob)
“But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
He however, later declared that he found no basis for a charge against Jesus. Washing himself off from facing the truth.
John 18:38
Truly excellent
And yet Roberts was quiet when the left raised question of C.Thomas, Alito impeachment last year.
He is a Trojan horse
In the end, Pilate took his own life.
No. You confuse Pilate with Judas who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of gold.
And the blob is our Amelek
The President needs to yank Mad Judge Boasberg’s security clearance.
The judge would just issue a TRO saying Trump can’t do that lol.
Going deeper…
Is there 10% for the big guy? Asking for a friend….
Blanche stood tall and gave the straight dope—no need for fancy footwork when Uncle Sam’s keeping the homeland safe. The big bench weighed it, called it right, and now it’s full steam ahead. National security ain’t just a phrase—it’s the backbone of the republic, and when duty calls, America answers.
Suck it, Toastberg
Busy with a mani-pedi in prep for a Fox News appearance.
A gal’s gotta look good for them cameras!
Lawfare and judges have to try to stop this because the next step is the deportation of illegal aliens who are NOT terrorists. That will be the next battle.
already happpening
Sorry. Can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.
That’s the one you use with the media. Let them and their control agents quiver in their boots as to exactly WHO is under criminal investigation.
Team Trump would do well to infer that Lawfare agents are going to be scrutinized.
“In addition to ongoing immigration law enforcement and military efforts in defense of US national security, we are concerned about the abuse of the legal system to fraudulently and unlawfully impede the Executive Branch from performing its Constitutional duties.”
The purpose of the Federal court system is not to impose an individual judge’s ideology, nor that of plaintiffs filing frivolous lawsuits, on the executive branch.
The line has been drawn. The court stops HERE and goes no further.
Boasberg was trying to prove the state secrets rationale was thought up after the flight, and the flight retroactively became secret.
See US v. Reynolds (1953), in which the administration provided a statement from the Secretary of the Air Force that a fatal plane crash involved a secret military mission, and that was why the government could not answer discovery in a wrongful death claim brought by the widow of one of the crew.
That’s why Boasberg wanted proof there was Cabinet-level discussions of the secrecy beforehand.
And Blanche just gave it.
Blanche and Bove were superb appointments to the DOJ.
Events can become retroactively classified. He has no leg to stand on.
Furthermore, it is almost a certainty that the details of those flights were classified. That’s why the leak of ICE raids in California will land the leakers in jail.
It’s ALL classified.
And classified has many tiers. It doesn’t have to be TOP SECRET. It can be Secret, Confidential, and even CUI. The level of classification doesn’t matter either. In the USG, even the term UNCLASSIFIED is a classification level.
I agree, but Boasberg seems to think one cannot retroactively classify a mission as secret.
He’s going to use his twisted interpretation of the law to somehow find Trump in contempt. He’s furious because Trump so publicly defeated him.
Trump got a planeload of the worst sort of criminals into a country over which Boasberg has no jurisdiction. Boasbaerg can’t “undo” the flight, so he’s trying to punish Trump for winning.
If he finds Trump in contempt, that is just stating the obvious. Who doesn’t hold this fraud in contempt? OK, the AP doesn’t. They just did a puff piece trying to sanitize the stench.
If he tries that, it’s going to boomerang on him. Trump has devastated Lawfare attacks on him. Just crushed them.
And Congress is in recess. A few subpoenas from Jordan and Grassley targeting Biasberg is an excellent way to shed sunlight on that vampire.
If he refuses? Contempt of Congress and a criminal referral. Also grounds for impeachment.
He’ll never be removed. Not enough Senate votes. But just forcing that guy to testify, including his courtroom staff, and the plaintiffs (Marc Elias and I think Andrew Weissman are behind this lawsuit) will be a nuclear bomb detonating inside Lawfare.
Sunlight is their enemy.
That right there, trying to punish PT, should be grounds for removal. It’s patently obvious Boasberg’s hatred of PT has severely dimished Boasberg’s ability to judge anything Trump related impartially.
Biasberg is most fitting.
Agreed, perfect.
Doesn’t matter what the judge thinks. Besides, the details are very likely classified anyway, so it’s not retroactive. The review is to determine whether the President will give the judge “need to know”…which the judge does not have unless granted by…
…the executive branch.
And gosh who knows how long that process might take.
“And gosh who knows how long that process might take.”
Malicious compliance…………

Yippee ki yey mofo!!
Up yourself Boasberg. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
LOL!
Suck an egg, Boasberg 😊
Trump has learned to use the Left’s own words and actions against them better than they used them against him, and they can’t do a thing about it.
I found this article by Jat Town in The Federalist very informative regarding tne legal error that Boasberg is committing.
FTA:
“From the onset, Boasberg failed to recognize his court lacks the jurisdiction to hear this case. Why? The ACLU filed this case in the District of Columbia. The five Venezuelan plaintiffs represented by the ACLU are not detained in D.C., but in New York and Texas. The Supreme Court ruled in Rumsfeld v. Padilla that no court has jurisdiction over a habeas petition unless those filing the petition are detained in the district in which it was filed.”
https://thefederalist.com/2025/03/21/judge-overreaches-amid-latest-lawfare-against-trump/
This is why the District of Columbia band of black crows begs to be eliminated. They are not judges over the entire country just because they’re in DC.
i DO BELIEVE that ” YOUR LANDOWNER ” Had a DIM VIEW on JUDICIAL OVERREACH –

Yes, Thomas Jefferson was very aware of the danger of an over reaching judiciary.
Would be great to see this point widely publicized and presented.
I can’t find the article right now, but IIRC, the administration moved some illegals down to Texas or Louisiana to deprive a DC or NY judge of jurisdiction in a habeas corpus action.

Excellent!
Sundance has mentioned frequently that sometimes the Deputy does that REAL WORK while the Head of the Agency/Department keeps the media busy and distracted with shiny distracting objects.
Exactly. Why people don’t get this is beyond me.
People don’t “get this” because ~99% of them don’t read CTH much less even know it exists. IDK CTH’s current unique visitor numbers (unique ip addresses?) but even if it’s 100,000 per week that’s less than 1% of the U.S. online population.
The legacy media never mentions anything that might shed light on the inner government machinery.
The rest of the Alt Media are too busy plastering the latest sensational clickbait over their websites or talking about the same stuff on their podcasts.
So far, in my experience, Sundance is pretty much in a class by himself, discussing the way the DC federal government machinery works “behind the curtain.”
This is sometimes addressed on X (Sundance @TheLastRefuge2 is a veteran Twitter / X account)
Truth!
Someone else said that, if you look at Boasber’s pate, you can see that he has a point.
He looks rather like an egg to me, and that’s nothing to yolk about.
Yep, an egg.
A bad egg!
is the constitution law…or wall art?
the longer these judges go…over stepping and over reaching…it appears to be very old wall art in a very expensive frame.
judge needs to be declared a domestic terrorist and arrested for terrorism…let him prove he isn’t…..any dem that supports him needs to be charged as a terrorist too…hell, whole demoncrat party needs to be delegated as a domestic terrorist org just like they did to millions of americans….LNL
Everyone’s got a plan, until they get hit in the nose.
Boasberg hit himself in the nose.
He’d be pulling his hair out right about now, if he had any.
We haven’t invoked the state secrets act but we might (and anyway if we do then whatca gonna do about it?)
Lol.
The American Civil Liberties Union, Democracy Forward, and the ACLU of the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration over the president’s unlawful and unprecedented invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
So Where Are The Filings?
Karl Denninger
8 Mar 2025
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=252937
Trump’s Administration has finally taken notice of Rule 65(c) when it comes to Federal Courts:
(c) Security. The court may issue a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order only if the movant gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. The United States, its officers, and its agencies are not required to give security.
This is not discretionary and the court cannot assess a “de-minimus” security amount either; it must be defensible predicated on the costs and damages that the other party may or will suffer with the evidence of same in the order itself if the injunction or TRO issues until disposition of the case and the posting of said security has to be completed before the TRO or injunction is valid.
[snip]
Thus where is Pam Bondi with immediate emergency filings against all of the existing injunctions already issued demanding that security be posted up and computed in said public filing and, if there is any delay or refusal by the judges involved to do so taking an immediate emergency appeal as far as necessary including to the Supreme Court which, given the actual language in the Rules of Civil Procedure is a slam-dunk and immediate win? No, demanding this only on a forward basis for future filings is not enough — force the movants in all the existing injunctions to either post up security or dissolve the injunctions and TROs.
Besides the cost of bringing them back, how about the crimes to be committed if they are brought back and a crime cost estimate of future crimes committed by those who can’t be removed including, for instance, fentanyl deaths?
The economic cost of a human life in the context of airlines is often estimated around $6 million to $7.5 million, which is used in regulatory analyses to justify safety measures and policies. This value helps assess the benefits of preventing fatalities in aviation-related incidents.
They all collaborated and implicitly conspired with a renegade federal judge, to directly interfere in National Security matters.
Like the rogue judge, they all need to be declared risks to National Security, and placed under surveillance and investigation.
The President has all those exclusive powers under Article II.
Time to get the Constitutional brickbat out.
Doesn’t relate to the topic – where are the bonds and their amounts? And NOT just for future injunctions as Denninger complains, but all past ones still active, too.
This rule is designed to prevent frivolous lawsuits.
‘Must cover the costs’: Trump directs DOJ to ‘enforce’ a rule of civil procedure and seek security bonds from ‘activist’ groups that win injunctions against the government
Mar 7th, 2025
https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/must-cover-the-costs-trump-directs-doj-to-enforce-a-rule-of-civil-procedure-and-seek-security-bonds-from-activist-groups-that-win-injunctions-against-the-government/
As courtroom losses pile up in myriad cases and controversies, the Trump administration is now looking to amass a collection of tentative money judgments in its favor that would come due later on down the line — if and when the government’s defeats are overturned on appeal.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum “directing federal agencies to enforce a rule mandating financial guarantees from parties requesting” injunctions or restraining orders in lawsuits, according to a White House fact sheet about the policy.
In the memo, U.S. Department of Justice attorneys are now directed, in all cases going forward, to “demand that parties seeking injunctions against” the administration “must cover the costs and damages incurred” if the government is “ultimately found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained” by a lower court.
The memo, on its own terms, aims to curb the power of “activist organizations fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations” and “activist judges” by pushing back against “frivolous litigation.”
“… Thus where is Pam Bondi …”
Has Bondo Barr been replaced by Bondo Bondi?
Nunya business Boasberg, read up and understand the separation of powers under our CONSTITUTION! TREASON/Judicial INSURRECTION is what BOASBERG is doing and the remedy for which is NOT in a CIVIL COURT. It should be referred to the MILITARY JAG as TREASON/INSURRECTION and Boasberg should be getting a ride to GITMO to end this madness!
I may have missed it all but….I have not heard anyone speak to the nationality/flag of the aircraft that the criminals were deported on….like a ship-who’s flag did it ‘fly’? What flag did it fly under? And is it considered a part of that country?
It would just seem to me that there is some sort of international law that governs the aircraft that would place it out of the reach, no pun intended, of said activist judges?
Back in the old Panama Canal, a Russian ship would transit…and on its deck were armed guards…the crew of the ship were said to be locked in their cabins to prevent them jumping ship and seeking asylum. Those guys never waved back to the kids who would wave at them…like the crew of other ships who did wave.
my dad’s explanation was that being on that ship, or any ship, then, was like being in their country, with their rules.
Aggiegirl- Thank you for reminding me of the fun I would have as a kid. My father would take us to the DE canal to practice target shooting. My sisters and I would watch the ships and barges with their flags flying sail up and down the canal. If we did not see a country name we would look the flag up in our atlas.
Ah, you are welcome!
The most prevalent flag back then, 1970’s in the Panama Canal, was Liberia.
“Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end…”….or…”we had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun”….
Meanwhile…I still wonder about that plane’s home base….and how that plays in?
IT WAS – GLOBAL X ( Crossings ) US in Miami
https://globalxair.com/flight-tracking/
https://x.com/nayibbukele/status/1901245427216978290
Brings up the question of whether “international law” is actually a thing.
Who decides?
Seems to me there is a simple reason for Blanche to reply and not Bondi. Boasberg demanded that “By March 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Defendants shall submit a sworn declaration by a person with direct involvement in the Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege; ” , see, https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.278436/gov.uscourts.dcd.278436.47.0_2.pdf
To which Blanche answered that “I attest to the accuracy of those statements based on personal knowledge of the events described by Mr. Cerna, including my direct involvement in ongoing Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege.“
Oh, you know the next thing Judge Boasberg is going to do?
He will likely demand a minimum of three Cabinet members to show up at his country club for an in-camera hearing so he can personally interrogate them about their roles in removing the terrorist
Why stop at just demanding sworn declarations when you can drag high-ranking officials into a private judicial inquisition and pressure them into “clarifying” their statements?
After all, why let the executive branch handle national security decisions when you can speed-run the process by putting officials in a room and grilling them until they either commit to a timeline or trip over a perjury trap?
It’s almost like he’s less interested in oversight and more interested in triggering a perjury trap.
See Wethal’s post above. This is a punish PT move by Boasberg. Rogue is a good name for judge B, unhinged is better.
It’s called the middle finger.
Boasberg needs to get the legal equivalent of something stronger than just a yup.
?
I’m for an atomic enema, delivered via phone pole.
Great pithy arguments, well deserved to Mr. Humpty Dumpty in this case. Another glaring example of the idiocy of this mans position is the highest
( supposed ) court in the land had just this exact occurrence in the leak of the Roe ( verse ) Wade debacle.
The fact the Left initiates the act becomes the concrete reason for the slap across the buffoons face in the Courts. Like big “catfish” they rise out of
their lairs, only to receive a hand stuffed down their throats. Doubt the tasteless flavor is going to receive any applause or any more than throwing them up on the bank to contain any pollution that might occur.
His daughter, might have some interesting economic features to investigate, knowing Stacy Abrams received a tidy sum, now isn’t that special.
Yup. Turnabout of fair play.
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Remember, Boasberg, Chutkan and Beryl Howell stripped away ATTORNEY-CLIENT privilege and Presidential Immunity from every attorney representing President Trump in 2020 including John Eastman.
On the other hand, these same federal judges defended the attorney-client privilege of PERKINS-COIE in their role laundering $12 million paying for the RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX DOSSIER and preventing Special Counsel Durham from subpoenaing any records or questioning lawyers of the law firm in his investigation!
How does that work?
In a word, corruption.
In 2 words, Selective enforcement.
In 3 words, one hyphenated:
Two-tier justice “system.”
All meaning the same thing!
In other words, “Up yours, Boasberg”…
Todd and Emil Bove are heavy hitters!
Turnabout is fair play, as is said. It is delightful to see the opposition backed into a corner of its own making.
Touche!
