Julie Kelly: Judge Boasberg from day one not only built but created a Contempt Trap for DOJ.

This week, Boasberg will issue an opinion related to his claims the Trump adm defied his court orders to "return" planes carrying illegal Venezuelans subject to the president's Alien Enemies Act proclamation on March 15.

As I have reported for weeks, Boasberg from day one not only built but created a contempt trap for DOJ.

During last week's heated contempt hearing, Boasberg crossed the line of executive privilege many times in interrogating the seemingly unprepared DOJ atty Drew Ensign and demanding to know the nature of internal comms in the executive branch and, more outrageously, who failed to "return" planes that might.

Keep in mind--the Trump adm has already invoked state secrets privilege in denying Boasberg's demand for flight details. Pam Bondi, Kristy Noem, and Marco Rubio signed declarations explaining to the judge why disclosing deportation information would risk national security, the judge is now defying their decisions.

Boasberg is going to try to dismantle Trump's DOJ with contempt charges. This is why Chief Justice John Roberts is silent and will not step in at the numerous requests by Trump to put an end to Boasberg's injunctions.

He’s a contemptuous old hippy. Probably still pissed off that it rained during Woodstock.

Then Roberts should be impeached and removed for dereliction of duty.

Bkmk

Boasberg and Roberts need to go. They are not above the will of American citizens, but consider themselves to be. Smarmy f-ing lawyers. Nothing more.

It’s time for a 3:00 a.m. raid on a certain judge’s home, with a CNN camera crew in tow.
Frog march his contemptible a$$ out in shackles, read him his rights, and lock him up.
I’m sure there’s a laundry list of charges that could be levied against him, whether they stick or not.
Let the process be the punishment.
So sick of these rogue tyrants getting their way, because someone is afraid of them. Book ‘em!

Doesn’t matter. Kash and Blondi will not prosecute Trump for any contempt citation Boasberg sends over. (See also, Merrick Garland and Eric Holder)

And even if they tried, Trump can pardon anyone charged including himself. A contempt trap is toothless.

The Boasberg family and friends support CCP, and terrorists,
and fund, help, train, protect and arm terrorists
to murder and rape Americans.

It is evil Boasberg, SJC-Ordered, Maltese, Epstein Island,
Yale-skull treason - now causing HELL TO AMERICA
- organized, and expanding against the ELECTED PRESIDENT
by the District Court’s treasonous “judges”
and their wives and family that send them the cases
for their ongoing COUP.

Both his wife & his daughter are getting funds for various illegal invader causes.

HE has VERY SERIOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST CHARGES HANGING OVER HIM.

IMO—_RUMP IS PULLING BOASBERG INTO A POSITION THAT BOASBERG CANNOT WIN.

Since turnabout is fair play, the DOJ SWAT Team could make Boasberg a one-day news story.

Yawn

Even if he had jurisdiction in this case, which he does not, Boasberg really only has the power to order the return of someone, not the manner.

It’s done all the time by the US Marshalls service. No judge gives them logistics instructions. An order with a date is simply issued. And usually not in front of a District court judge, but an EOIR immigration judge.

The SOB knows that. That’s why he didn’t put it in writing. He’s playing chicken with Bondi, trying to expand his power.

Really. I know Boasberg wants to do that but can he really? Who’s he going to call? Ghost busters?
The idea is to make everyone think that Trump’s cabinet members are going to be indicted and convicted of contempt. Maybe a preemptive pardon will settle the issue.

Mark Levin pointed out in detailed terms why the a@@clown judge cannot cite any in Trump admin for contempt especially the President. It’s rather simple— he NEVER sent a written order. His constant questioning of “whom did you tell of my order?” of Ensign— gives this away. He never took the time while in the original “order” hearing— to WRITE DOWN and distribute the written order from his own freaking courtroom.

This is a fact. Impossible to cite a nationwide order that was not written down, and from the expectation the entire county should obey a verbal court order-— DONE, BANG, Zoom. It will negate all other “cases” “randomly assigned” by himself to himself— these will quickly be dismissed on the basis of his complete f’up.

Sure hope so. I wish the House would get off their butts and do their jobs. Musk needs to make them write down five things they did over the past week.

Then, don’t waste time trying to impeach Boasberg and do what Newt suggests — cut off the funding. Chip Roy and Company are costing precious time with their pet peeves in the House.

We have heard a lot of he cannot do this or that but he goes ahead and does it because no one stops him. He will hold team Trump in contempt next week even though “he can’t do that”.

Is Mark Levin the only person who knows this? Blondi should listen to his show and get some balls. The entire DoJ response to this clown is anemic and cowardly to be kind. He has 0 power over the POTUS. She’s on Fox News all the time, she could be taunting this idiotic judge and calling out his lack of authority instead of bragging about 3 friggen deportations of gang memebers.

Is that true? I heard that he gave an oral order but did not send a written order until a day later. An oral order has no force behind it unless it is also written (correct me if I am wrong). By the time the order was written, the deportation flight was complete, and the deportees had been turned over to the Salvadorans for handling. Too late.

Then Roberts should be impeached and removed for dereliction of duty.

Roberts should be arrested and removed from his position on the Supreme Court. Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor can follow Roberts into removal. A half-dozen Federal District Court judges removed from office will make a complete set.

We no longer have even a credible pretense of law in the Federal Courts. There is no point in continuing the farce of an independent and impartial judicial system that claims supremacy over the Executive branch. We don't have that at all.

At a minimum, all of these lawless judicial rulings must be rejected and ignored.
