NEW: Multiple sources tell me & colleague David Spunt that the federal magistrate in Minnesota who refused to sign off on an arrest warrant for Don Lemon is Douglas L. Micko and that his wife works as an Assistant Attorney General in Minnesota AG Keith Ellison's office.

More useless liberal human debris...

[CatOwner]

Carlin had this nonsense pegged decades ago.

The state is corrupt from top to bottom. Now wonder the Somalis were able to steal 20 Billion plus.

[NorthMountain]

his wife works as an Assistant Attorney General in Minnesota AG Keith Ellison's office.

Can you say "conflict of interest", boys and girls?

[PGalt]

It figure$

The deep state is massive, one-stop shop for Uniparty control

They’ve got the career agitators

They pay them with tax money through Democrat/leftist NGOs

They protect them with the DOJ when they are in power

And if all else fails, they have permanent federal judges who can play the lawfare game in any direction they want.

Probably tip of iceberg in the ‘look the other way’ deep state. How many billions went this way?

Sounds like a key club for courts. All the car keys are put in a basket, and one would take home the wife of the car key chosen. Yeh, that’s what they are up to.

Of course he does..honestly though if I had to take a pick over which prick I wanted to see cuffed more, I would say the bearded idiot, so at least we got his ass

Now ask yourself why George Soros dumped billions of dollars into AG and Secretary of State races in a variety of Blue states to buy those offices and populate them with his minions. Answer? Because the existing Democrats weren’t corrupt enough to do what he wanted them to do.

How the HELL is this NOT conflict of interest???

[blackdog]

That was stuff you normally had to find in Newport and Martha's Vineyard. That was back in the 70's during the "drown your pregnant secretary in the canal" days of corruption.

It seems pretty much national, now.

[TalBlack]

So this magistrate has no problem with right wing protesters come banging into his courtroom or chambers. Cool.

How the HELL is this NOT conflict of interest???

This is Conspiracy!

[PubliusMM]

A ‘Federal’ Magistrate? What even is that? Seems like it would have been better to use a Federal Grand Jury process...
Either way, Pam Bondi continues to cement her position as the worst appointment of this administration.

[HYPOCRACY]

Trannies sure live the name Caitlin.

[Theodore R.]

Bondi seems to do worse every week now. Is she in over her head or is she just a closeted RINO? First Sessions, then Barr, now Bondi
