James Boasberg, the judge Donald Trump says should be impeached over his handling of court proceedings regarding Trump’s hardline immigration policy, is currently conducting a hearing in a lawsuit filed over “Signalgate.”
Trump complained about Boasberg earlier today, posting a long rant in which he called Boasberg’s assignment “disgraceful” and implied it was rigged against him.
“Boasberg, who is the Chief Judge of the DC District Court, seems to be grabbing the ‘Trump Cases’ all to himself, even though it is not supposed to happen that way,” Trump wrote, adding: “The good news is that it probably doesn’t matter, because it is virtually impossible for me to get an Honest Ruling in D.C. Our Nation’s Courts are broken, with New York and D.C. being the most preeminent of all in their Corruption and Radicalism. There must be an immediate investigation of this Rigged System, before it is too late!”
Boasberg has also “ordered the agencies who participated in the Signalgate chat to preserve all Signal messages between 11-15 March and to provide an update to the court about efforts to do so”.
Doubtful the administration will follow the rules set by the judge. They no longer care about following the law.
They kind of have to since Jeffery Goldberg published the texts in full … which makes this funny as hell when you think about it.
Until i aee any evidence that anybody wants to enforce the Constitution, i conclude the next move is removal of the judge. Or maybe he’ll fall out a window.
It’s that bad folks. Our remaining politicians and law enforcers need to take this seriously. Shit got real months ago.
I’d rather wait and see what happens.
I for one wouldn’t be at all surprised if the next move is something along the lines of “the party told you what to believe” kind of thing.
heavy deleting intensifies
Wouldn’t the only form available be the screenshots? They started the thread with 1hr disappearing messages.
Edit: 1 week, but still

Except everything that was said after Goldberg left the chat. That’s probably all already deleted.

This alone should be sufficient evidence to send these fucknuts to prison.
Exactly, yet they’re futzing aound like there’s no known way to deal with this behavior. This is why i think all the outrage is theater to keep us all believing things will work out until there is nothing anybody can do about it.
Then they will be free to disappear any undesirables unhindered.

Correct, if you can’t see it on the screen it might as well not exist as far as a digital forensic examination goes. At least when it comes to the message content.
“I order you not to digest that meal you ate 2 weeks ago!”
The messages were set to delete after 1 week, how exactly does this Judge think they can comply? Invent a time machine?
Yeah, I bet they’re already gone.
But here’s where we leave checkers behind and go to chess: that’s the point. The regs demand those convos persist as a record.
3d chess? “Please produce records of previous conversations where” … and name some monumental decisions which should have a lot of ancillary chatter but now has no record.
You can’t see the whole iceberg, but I predict someone just turned on the sonar to see what’s down there.
