Vindictive, Trump-hating Judge Boasberg gets the judicial beatdown he needed
The Obama-appointed judge has a pattern of corner-cutting that just happens to support the deep state's power-grabs every time.
It's always good to see out-of-control judicial activists get smacked down, especially by their own peers.
Which brings us to Judge James Boasberg, who's done more than any of them to try to shut down President Trump's legitimate power to govern.
He's in the donkey seat now, berated by a higher court for his 'abuse of power,' as they put it.
According to the Washington Times:
A federal appeals court delivered an embarrassing spanking to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday, ordering him to shut down his “intrusive” criminal contempt of court investigation against the Trump administration.
The circuit court of appeals said not only is Judge Boasberg’s continued investigation “improper,” but his reasoning for why Trump officials could be prosecuted for contempt of court is a “dead end” because the judge is misreading his own orders.
Circuit Judge Neomi Rao said Judge Boasberg has crossed too many lines, risking damage to the separation of powers between the president and the courts.
Boasberg, recall, is the judge who told us what he was about when he gave former FBI attorney probation for literally altering a CIA email in order to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on a Trump campaign operative, claiming that Clinesmith "likely believed" the information was true (true because he made it so?) and simply took 'an inappropriate shortcut.' What kind of ace judicial reasoning is that, in what all the other FBI and federal employees understood very well was a jailtime offense? Anybody believe a request for an FBI FISA warrant is what it says it is after that one?By 2025, Boasberg was well on his way to other abuses of power, ordering the Trump administration to halt the deportation of Venezuelan illegal aliens accused of being gang members to El Salvador, which was well within the Department of Homeland Security's powers to do, as the government of Venezuela refused to take them back and the written law says that when that is the case, the illegals can be repatriated to another country. Being gang members, the only good place for them was El Salvador's famous prison for them.
His ego wounded, he ordered the plane to be turned around mid-flight, as if that were practical and doable, something that might be reasonablee if these were defectors from North Korea facing death if they didn't. But under Boasberg, criminals were just as precious and important, and when the flight didn't come back, he launched his contempt of court case against the Trump administration, really really wanting those thugs to be brought back to America just because the Trump administration didn't.According to CNN:
The decision comes nearly a year after Boasberg, the chief judge of the federal trial-level court in Washington, DC, said in a blockbuster ruling that “probable cause exists to find the government in criminal contempt” for defying his orders to temporarily halt the deportation of migrants under a powerful wartime authority invoked by President Donald Trump.
That's what's brought the current ruling, and the upper court didn't have nice things to say about this.
Boasberg wanted internal White House documents probed, when the law said that DHS had the authority to execute the repatriation flight, so Boasberg was appointing himself an overseer of the White House internal communications as a piddly district judge, in what was a fishing expedition for himself and his deep state pals, and national security, let alone respecting the presidency. suddenly wasn't important anymore.
CNN continued, citing the angry judges:
“The district court proposes to probe high-level Executive Branch deliberations about matters of national security and diplomacy. These proceedings are a clear abuse of discretion,” Judges Neomi Rao and Justin Walker said in the unsigned opinion.
“The district court has launched an intrusive criminal contempt investigation into whether the government acted willfully when it transferred suspected Tren de Aragua members to Salvadoran custody. But the end of this investigation is a legal dead end,” the court said.
Which is pretty humiliating, probably not to the average joe on the street, but among Boasberg's peers -- getting smacked down like that by a higher court over not following or understanding the basic rules of the game is the kind of thing incompetent miscreants get. Now he has to follow the law same as everyone else, thanks to some better class judges above him who know how to sort out his petty little egotistic games and great desire for power. Good move.
