DOJ is continuing its equally embarrassing and alarming practice in the second Trump administration of going after federal judges who push back against lawlessness and support the rule of law. Today, they filed a judicial complaint against Minnesota federal judges who spoke to The New York Times.
CONCLUSION
DIS frequently has cases pending in the District of Minnesota, including immigration cases before Judge Schiltz and Judge Tunheim. These judges should be ordered to recuse from any matters involving DHS because the public reasonably questions their impartiality in cases involving immigration. Morcover, the Eighth Circuit should initiate an investigation by the Judicial Counsel into the improper conduct by judges in the District of Minnesota who "covet publicity" rather than adhering to the rule of law by adjudicating cases or controversies. NFL, 585 F.3d at
1140. Finally, pursuant to Rules 11(a)(4) and 11(f) of the Rules for Judicial-Conduct and Judicial-Disability Procedings, a special committee should be appointe inve mate this misconduct.

The full story is NOT the failure of the GOP conspiracy in pubic! The full story includes the GOP attempt to execute FRAUD TO PROTECT TRUMP! FRAUD remains a CRIME! Ask GOP SCOTUS: Does the FREE-CRIME-ZONE extend to protect congress, including ALL of the GOP? FRAUD is an official act?

Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.

The corollary: The GOP felt sufficiently confident in their ability to abuse power without consequence that they tried to execute this FRAUD within a congressional hearing room on recorded video! If we are still sane, we should be concerned about GOP FRAUD IN GOVERNMENT! #usdemocracy

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.
