Judge fighting Trump over El Salvador deportations assigned to lawsuit over Signal chat leak

There were no ‘plans’ in the chat.......................

[sit-rep]

it will be interesting to see where the judges focus will be. On Trump and his Professionals, or the staff member who had the Editor and Cheif of the Atlnatic’s phone number at the ready...

[RoosterRedux]

At a glance, it looks like American Oversight has no standing here. And the Federal Records Act doesn’t allow private lawsuits—only the AG can act after a referral from the Archivist.

Without personal harm, watchdogs can’t claim injury. This looks more political than legal and likely won’t survive a motion to dismiss.

Chief of the Atlantic’s**

oops...

“randomly assigned to Boasberg”? Hardly.

[MtnClimber]

Everyone knows it will be a politically biased event.

[grimalkin]

There were no plans and this is entirely a set up. Deep state garbage. Boasberg? Absolutely not a coincidence.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Small world isn’t it? The same judge just happens to get this new case?

[butlerweave]

What lawsuit ? One they just made up ?

[hardspunned]

All of this was choreographed weeks ago. There’s more coming too. Get rid of Blondi! We need a wartime consigliere.

Indict to DETER them.

[nuconvert]

They deserve the same punishment they gave Hillary.

“The contest has now been randomly assigned to Boasberg”

Oh for F sake that is just insulting.

[Psalm 73]

I'm rethinking my defense of Waltz - they all know there is zero room for error, esp. with the Trump Admin. on the offensive.

And Waltz just lets a staffer make out his secure meeting invite list?

I just have a lower-level Gov. Secret clearance, but even I know how security breaches are viewed. I don't think Waltz can now be trusted moving forward.

To all:

On this judge assignment—

Are your Dem associates and relatives saying “yippee. Hope he brings Trump down.” ?

Or are even they a little put off by the crookedness of this matter?

[John S Mosby]

Now, FReepers- do your work. Just WHO are the American Oversight dinks? Hmmmm? Names please. Lawfare names— as they are members of Boasberg’s special club. Hangs them all, you see. Evidentiary of the collusion. Special Counsel time.

Same thing is happening to Jack Smith. A dish best eaten cold.

[gibsonguy]

I don’t think Waltz can now be trusted moving forward”

I doubt if you are alone in that thinking.

[A_perfect_lady]

Wow, that was quick. First a hostile reporter is added to a chat under the wrong name by someone who would not be expected to even HAVE his number, and then a lawsuit is instantly filed, and is assigned to a hostile judge. My goodness. That’s very smooth.

[grimalkin]

David Brock and Norm Eisen. They targeted trump during his first term. This is a setup.

And Waltz just lets a staffer make out his secure meeting invite list?

We don't know if that happened.

My understanding is the CIA developed Signal - no, I don't know that, but if the CIA in any way can access the software, a DS operative could have give Goldberg access...perhaps at the last minute.

This is admittedly rank speculation but I think it's more than a coincidence that the name added happens to be a chief Trump foe guaranteed to leak for maximum damage to the Trump administration.
