The problem with judge-shopping to push your case through, there’s always the chance that the judges you are counting on to push your agenda have their own skin in the game.
That’s the case with a judge who has offered very dubious rulings on whether Trump can suspend his USAID money.
We’ve got a thread from America First Legal making the case online that Judge McConnell, the Rhode Island judge who put an end to Trump’s spending freezes, ought never to have heard that case in the first place.
The reason? He is *Personally* benefitting financially from his own ruling.
If the money gets cut, so does funding from a group whose board he has served on for as long as he’s held federal office — much of that time, serving as chair.
The Trump administration has violated a court order by refusing to reverse a freeze of billions in government funds, a judge ruled Monday. The ruling was the latest challenge to sweeping White House plans to cut costs and remake the US government. US District Judge John McConnell Jr previously ruled that the government should continue to fund programmes authorised by Congress. On Monday, he said the White House had defied a preliminary injunction that the judge issued after 23 Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit to stop the funding freeze. The Trump administration said it would appeal the ruling. — BBC
It’s one of many lawsuits the Dems have ginned up against the Trump admin… and one of the more aggressive. But there’s a twist:
Judges are expected to recuse themselves from cases in which they have any personal stake in the outcome. When a company on whose board you sit is downstream of the threatened funding to the tune of millions of dollars… that would be an example of a reason to recuse.
And yet, he heard the case anyway. Ruled on it, even. And wouldn’t ya know it, the ruling happened to align with his personal interests.
But we can trust him, right?
Here’s AFL making the case in a thread on their X account:
MANY MORE THREAD PICS AT SITE...............
Look at that graph, flatline until they started to go after Trump with lawfare just before and during Biden’s administration. That is about as obvious as it can get that they are part of the conspiracy.
This needs some national attention, and right now is the perfect time...
Recuse? Hell!
I want these judges kicked off the bench, disbarred, charged with the crimes they have committed and put in prison.
This priestly, black robed cult is NOT above the law.
Excellent point about the Sessions recusal!
“The GOP needs to toughen up and do what’s necessary.”
Homan has asked DOJ to investigate whether AOC violated federal law by giving a seminar to illegals on how to avoid the law. That’s a good start!
Anyone on X ? This link needs to get to all the right people right away. It is completely self explanatory why the American Bar Association is NOT doing something about these cooked Judges... They have been bribed not to. This needs to go viral right now...

Posted it on my X thread.................
aba was long ago caputured by the collectivists
only conservative lawyers/judges are disbarred
I’ll try to research this, but if anyone already knows, the answer to the following would be much appreciated.
Did Congress: 1) appropriate set amounts of US assistance funds for specific recipients for specific purposes, directing USAID to merely disburse the funds;
2) appropriate a large block of funds for US aid purposes, and authorize USAID to determine the programs, recipients, amounts, and disbursements; or,
3) some mix of 1 and 2?
If as I suspect, it was 2), the Judge’s ruling will crumble upon appeal.
Right on! Thank you! This is how WE can help Trump!
Did you see how obvious that timeline in the graph was? And the awarding agencies?
If he’s a democrat, then there is no conflict and therefore, no need to recuse himself.
Yes, a peak like Mt. McKinley during Biden’s Reign of Error..............
Bttt.

It needs to get to musk and DOGE... :)
The timing is just right considering this current Lawfare.
Here is something interesting... The two biggest contributors are USAID and the Department of State. But the biggest percentage is listed as coming from the Ukraine. So what happened is this was money that was supposed to go to the Ukraine but it instead was given to the Bar Association. It was laundered through the Ukraine back to the Bar Association. This is how and why Z was saying he didn’t get all the money they said he got. This is example how they laundered most of the Ukraine money right back to themselves and their own pet organizations like the ABA.
You didn’t actually think I was serious did you?
And impeachment and removal from the bench.
Absolutely.
This is why they are so adamant about Ukraine and why Z has them by the balls. Blackmail works both ways..................
“And where is the American Bar Association? This creep should be disbarred for this conflict of interest ruling. Crickets.”
Thank you for bringing up this very good question, it led to discovery. :)
