On Tuesday President Trump requested that the Clinton-appointed judge overseeing his Russiagate case against Hillary Clinton and others be removed from the case due to obvious conflicts of interest.
President Trump recently sued a number of individuals and former officials for their actions related to the Russiagate hoax and attempted coup of his administration.
Somehow this case was assigned to Clinton appointed Judge Middlebrooks and Judge Ryon McCabe.
President Trump urged the courts to replace the Clinton judge with someone who is not biased in the case.
On Wednesday Judge Ryon McCabe recused himself from the case.
But Judge Middlebrooks will not recuse himself from the case.

Traitor Roberts approves.
.
Huh.
So Democrats are always Democrats first.
Being an honest judge is way down on their list.
Re: “Being an honest judge is way down on their list.”
It’s not even ON their list.
I wouldn’t doubt it.
On Wednesday Judge Ryon McCabe recused himself from the case.
But Judge Middlebrooks will not recuse himself from the case.
The so called “Justice system” in this land of crap is a fraud and a sham. It’s run by the extreme left and it’s going to get worse with the worthless new AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TOKEN being added to the already corrupt, pro criminal SCOTUS.
Canon 2: A Judge Should Avoid Impropriety and the Appearance of Impropriety in all Activities
Just setting up for a appeal when the judge judges bias.
“So Democrats are always Democrats first.”
Absolutely. For Democrats, Party comes before all else.
Problem with this is, if you ask the judge to recuse, and they won’t, now the judge is probably even more biased against you than they were already.
And the one judge who did recuse had some sense of fairness and ethics, but now they’re gone and you’re left with the one who has no sense of fairness of ethics.
I guess you have to make the motion though, so you can use it for grounds for an appeal.
Mere suggestions without teeth.
Judge Middlebrooks‘ case history needs to be reviewed for impartiality. Seems he is an ideologue and an activist on the bench.
Rules of conduct only apply to conservatives. The left do whatever they dang well please
Yes. It puts this judge on notice.
Surely Trump will appeal the decision not to recluse.
Just part of the early case maneuvering.
I’m sure his legal team is looking at all options.

A federal judge has ruled that the conservative Heritage Foundation and its lobbying arm are required to turn over documents to groups challenging the constitutionality of a new Florida elections law.
The Florida State Conference of the NAACP, Common Cause and Disability Rights Florida asked U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks to compel the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for American to provide subpoenaed documents that could shed light on the behind-the-scenes development of the controversial law (SB 90).
The Heritage groups fought turning over the documents, arguing that the subpoenas would “chill” First Amendment rights. But Middlebrooks, in an eight-page ruling issued Tuesday, rejected the Heritage groups’ arguments. “Heritage has failed to make the required prima facie showing of infringement of its First Amendment associational privilege,” Middlebrooks wrote.
“First, plaintiffs do not seek to reveal the identities of any Heritage members or donors. As such, the subpoenas do not seek disclosure of the information typically covered by the associational privilege. Moreover, Heritage has failed to demonstrate how disclosure of the specific information plaintiffs request —- Heritage’s external communications with government officials related to Senate Bill 90 —- would subject its members to ‘threats, harassment, or reprisals’ from the government or private individuals.”
The NAACP, Common Cause and Disability Rights Florida filed the lawsuit in May, alleging that the law —- which deals with issues such as voting by mail —- is unconstitutional and is designed to suppress voting by groups such as Black residents. They contend that the Heritage groups were involved with Republican lawmakers this spring in developing the law.
