Well, this is interesting. What a surprise. Dirty Judge Jack McConnell, who believes he was recently elected US president, halted President Trump’s current spending freeze.
But Judge McConnell is not some innocent bystander.
Judge McConnell’s organization has received $117.6 million in government funding in total (ending in 2023).
Maybe that’s why he wanted the money to keep flowing. He’s expecting several more million this year!
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on this radical far-left judge who called President Trump a “tyrant” and decries racism as a “white people problem.”
...
America First Legal has uncovered damning evidence that federal Judge Jack McConnell, the Rhode Island judge who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze, has been deeply entrenched in a taxpayer-funded nonprofit—receiving over $128 million in government funding during his tenure.
"FEDERAL JUDGE McCONNELL MUST RECUSE HIMSELF IMMEDIATELY. AFL has uncovered a major potential conflict of interest for Judge John McConnell, Chief Judge of the federal district court of Rhode Island, who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze," AFL wrote on X.
Judge McConnell has long been associated with Crossroads Rhode Island, a so-called “nonprofit” organization that rakes in millions in government funds under the guise of social programs.
According to AFL’s investigation, McConnell has served on Crossroads' Board of Directors since 2006, including a decade-long stint as Chair. Even after taking his seat on the federal bench in 2013, McConnell continued to appear as a Director on the NGO’s IRS Form 990 filings.
...
Since 2009 Judge McConnell has received 117.6 million in government funding for his organization - about half of all its funding.
...
Judge McConnell's organization, Crossroads Rhode Island, has already received $2.9 million so far this year.
Federal law requires judges to disqualify themselves "in any proceeding in which (their) impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
Bingo! Called it first. Blackdog had Dibbs. We didn’t even get to the family and friends yet....
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!
NOT. The entire feral goobermint has been corrupted to the core.
If this is true, someone is going to discover that Orange is the new Black
Is this Crossroads RI related to the Crossroads School in California 5hat brainwashed Elon’s kid with the tranny bs?
America....New Haiti.
Who knew a judge could run an NGO?
interesting how that Donald J Trump keeps making the moles stick their heads up and show themselves.
Is this the judge a rep was preparing articles of impeachment? He needs to be first up.
Good question. Do not know.
That is big pile of conflict of interest there, judge.
“Who knew a judge could run an NGO?”
or a General like John Kelly, also a President Trump hater.
It’s virtually impossible to impeach a judge. But Congress should dissolve the court system that employs the judge. We need to really start over.
My GOD! ANOTHER highly corrupt democrat judge! He ought to be in prison!
He should be cellmates with with Judge Merchan and his execrable daughter Loren Merchan who raised $100 million off of the Trump case before Merchan.
And.....Federal judges pay no income taxes on their wages. Really.
They are required to pay income taxes on other types of earnings. It’s their wages that are exempt, so you will hear the bureaucracy claim that they do pay taxes. That’s not entirely correct. It’s their wages as a federal judge on their salary they are exempt from being taxed.
Scumbag perverts Justice!
Summarily remove him, and strip him of his law license, and let him see the inside of a cell !
Sounds like an organization screaming for a proctological exam
CEO gets $ 343,797 plus an additional $ 30,087 to be "charitable." Other salaries, wages amd perks amount to over $ 8 million, because USAID "grants" them tax money to be non-taxable.

Impeachment is the proper response.
