Washington — A federal appeals court judge dismissed a judicial misconduct complaint that the Justice Department filed against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, whom President Trump has denounced over his handling of a legal battle involving the Alien Enemies Act and the administration's swift removals of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador.
In a December decision, Judge Jeffrey Sutton, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, faulted the Justice Department for failing to provide "sufficient evidence" about an alleged statement Boasberg made last March during a closed-door meeting of judges, which sparked the judicial misconduct complaint.
The complaint was filed last July by Chad Mizelle, then-chief of staff to Attorney General Pam Bondi. He claimed Boasberg made "improper public comments" about Mr. Trump and his administration during the meeting of the Judicial Conference, the policymaking body of the federal courts.
Boasberg allegedly expressed concerns that the Trump administration "would disregard rulings of federal courts, leading to a constitutional crisis." The Justice Department's complaint also cited Boasberg's handling of a case involving Mr. Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport Venezuelan migrants who were allegedly members of the gang Tren de Aragua.
The department identified in its complaint one source of evidence for Boasberg's statement and where it was allegedly made, but did not include that source, Sutton said. When the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., reached out to the Justice Department about the missing information, the department didn't provide it, according to Sutton's order.
"In the absence of the attachment, the complaint offers no source for what, if anything, the subject judge said during the Conference, when he said it, whether he said it in response to a question, whether he said it during the Conference or at another meeting,...

Pam Blondi asleep at the wheel, again.
Does anyone in this DOJ know how the law works? It seems not.
One disaster after another at DOJ. Proving to be a completely feckless operation.
Git outa jail cards abound in dimland
The courts don’t care if the American public trusts them or not. Only certain people have any trust in them and it isn’t us.
Even if dismissed, filing lets them know we are checking on them. Some will be more careful what they say and do.
Shining light is still a good disinfectant, even if it does not kill all the germs.
That mindset accomplishes absolutely Nothing!!!
Weaponized bass turds. Every damn pig working in the Judicial Branch. It’s time to defund the criminals working for the judicial branch. They all are owned by the rich elitists and far left communists.
I concur with your optimism, but it would have been nice if DOJ had provided supportive evidence of their complaint.
This could have been a huge victory all but for the want of a nail.
Where's Pinochet Airways when you need them?
That mindset accomplishes absolutely Nothing!!!
It may or may not influence this particular judge, time will tell. But it may keep some others in check, knowing that we are watching.
These fifth-column judges should be impeached forthwith.
He’ll get in trouble again ,he can’t help it
And we still have the senate not appointing Trump judges. They need to make that priority one.
And nothing will be done again.
“Even if dismissed, filing lets them know we are checking on them.”
WHAT? This is ridiculous. demoncRAT Boasberg is guilty as well as his stooge of a daughter.
20 years of closet communists appointing federal judges is really paying off...
We can thank Bush, Obama, and Biden for their service...
A noose would be appropriate...
My mommy used to tell me that once bitten, twice shy. Don’t know if that hold true with these turds.
Or...more emboldened by the dismissal.
