Illegal order. Won’t be obeyed. Judge should be impeached and disbarred from law practice.
A Harvard law school graduate, Jackson was a private lawyer for 20 years, most recently with Trout, Cacheris, & Janis, a DC firm that says it specializes in complex civil cases and white collar crime. She was a key part of the firm’s defense team for Congress member William Jefferson, a Louisiana representative nicknamed “Dollar Bill,” after an FBI raid found $90,000 in his freezer. Government officials allege that money came from bribes he accepted to promote African business interests in the US.
Jefferson was initially sentenced to 13 years in prison, but released this year, after some charges were dropped. As his attorney, Jackson argued that accepting money did not necessarily constitute an “official act,” an argument upheld later in a separate Supreme Court case that set the stage for his release. She also successfully argued that a FBI raid of his Congressional office was unconstitutional.
It’s just a propaganda stunt to make it appear that the WH would destroy records. Why would the WH do that when they would support POTUS.
