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”.
“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.
