Vexed by the Justice Department’s chaotic oversight of federal prosecutions in New Jersey, a judge on Monday threw a government attorney out of a hearing and ordered the three officials in charge of the state’s U.S. Attorney’s office to answer his questions under oath.
U.S. District Judge Zahid N. Quraishi lit into prosecutors after another judge ruled last week that the Trump administration’s decision to replace interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba with a trio of officials was another violation of the Constitution’s Appointments Clause, which requires Senate confirmation.
So the Trump goons come, some uninvited, to put on a show during a hearing to try and distract. This judge will have none of it and is vocal about the nonsense, so the clowns accuse the judge of theatrics.
It’s MAGA 101 shit. I hope more judges follow this man’s example more often.
And did nothing, did not report them to the bar, did shit all nothing
go reread the case. the actual case, not the NYT reporting
I mean, he blocked their case and indicated that even the replacements aren’t legally allowed to sign off on any future prosecutions. This does slow things down
It does more than that, it puts a big ole asterisk next to everything they’ve had any association with and will make it much easier for people to avoid charges they helped bring.
