Another "ends justify the means" group of people. And they are in OUR Congress and LAAP-dog media!

Chevron baaaad. Lawyer goooooood.
He is not being jailed for bribing judges. He is being jailed for contempt of court. This is not rocket science but it’s also not nursery school, or for that matter, bartender’s school.
Contempt is imposed by the courts, one of three separate independent branches of government. Contempt is imposed for failing to comply with the COURT’s processes. COURTS have the power to enforce and control their own proceedings and the contempt power is part of that.
The DOJ is the executive. A different branch of government. By asking Garland, of the executive branch, to get Donzinger out of jail, they are asking the executive branch to unlawfully interfere with the separate and independent judicial branch, a constitutional violation.
Garland has no authority to do it that I can see.
