That Time Judge Engoron Pulled a Fani Willis
PJ Media ^ | 02/22/2024 | Athena Thorne

Let me pour you some piping hot tea to start your day. The most fascinating little news report has just resurfaced after going unnoticed lo these 22 years.

It seems that a certain New Yorker named Arthur Engoron, then a little remarked upon 50-something law secretary, may have tanked an $11million lawsuit with his unethical dating habits — ultimately forcing the judge who had been presiding in the case to recuse himself.

An ugly divorce boiled over into a defamation suit in Manhattan Supreme Court, with Justice Martin Schoenfeld presiding. But in shades of a Fani Willis-Nathan Wade-style entanglement, Schoenfeld's naughty secretary, Engoron, saw fit to take up with the prosecution's secretary.

The resurfaced report is called "A Judicial Affair" (archived here in case the original gets disappeared by our beneficent tech overlords) and was published by The Jewish Telegraphic Agency in summer of 2002. Let's dig in:

See excerpt:

https://archive.ph/I6irw

“The law secretary of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Martin Schoenfeld [our hero, Arthur Engoron] may be in hot water for dating the secretary of a plaintiff’s lawyer who had a case pending before the judge. Nathan Lewin, a defense attorney for the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada, said the court’s Jan. 23 ruling against his client in several pre-trial decisions is “suspect” because of that relationship, of which he was not informed until late last month.”

“Lewin is defending the rabbis in an $11 defamation million suit filed by Helen Chayie Sieger of Borough Park, who claims their decision to allow her husband to remarry without requiring him to grant her a rabbinic divorce in effect labeled her an unfit spouse.

Lewin said in court papers that the law secretary, Arthur Engoron, claims he only began dating the secretary of the opposing counsel, Christopher Sullivan, on May 10. But Lewin said Sullivan’s actions in the case may have been “influenced” by information he received from the woman, identified in the papers only as Sue. And Lewin noted that Engoron “was drafting [later] decisions and communicating” with the judge about this case during the time he was dating Sue.”

What is it about prosecuting their enemies that gets leftists so hot and bothered?

It’s kind of sick, when you think about it. If that little $11 million spat in 2002 got old Arthur so excited, one can only imagine the state in which he’s gone about as he levies multi-hundred-million-dollar penalties against the despised Donald Trump.

Shocking

Engoron is an unethical sleaze who abuses power behind people’s backs when he thinks he can get away with it

Considering his sterling character, whoda thunk it??

Yet no one who matters is doing anything about this scumbag. Trump was singled out and given an epic legal screwing but no one steps up.

The person he was dating is named “Sue” and in this report identified as a “woman”.

Lewin said in court papers that the law secretary, Arthur Engoron, claims he only began dating the secretary of the opposing counsel, Christopher Sullivan, on May 10. But Lewin said Sullivan’s actions in the case may have been “influenced” by information he received from the woman, identified in the papers only as Sue. And Lewin noted that Engoron “was drafting [later] decisions and communicating” with the judge about this case during the time he was dating Sue.”

People who are as unattractive as he is often get very angry and bitter.

Granted, Sue is usually a woman’s name, but I remember a song about a boy named Sue.

That article seems to be saying both that Engeron was dating Christopher Sullivan, and that someone was dating Sue.

I am very familiar with Johnny Cash “A Boy Named Sue”, however, as you can read above, the person was identified as a woman. Now, perhaps they are not a biologist and just took a SWAG...
