No wonder owebama recently hired that famous defense attorney to be white hut counsel - its all starting to fall down.
If eric the red refuses to comply can the judge order him arrested by US Marshals? THAT would be a sweet sight!
This is the judicial variety of good cop / bad cop. The appellate court will reverse, IF the trial judge hands down the wrong ruling. Courts tend to protect executive privilege and state secret. The fact the government is lying is completely irrelevant. Notice in this case, the actual events are irrelevant. The legal issue is only on privilege.
“If eric the red refuses to comply can the judge order him arrested by US Marshals?”
“The United States Marshals Service is based in Arlington, Virginia, and, under the authority and direction of the Attorney General, is headed by a Director, who is assisted by a Deputy Director.”
