Judge Who Tried to Block Trump Migrant Deportations Spared Russiagate Lawyer (and was a Member of Skull and Bones While at Yale)

By The Telegraph. The judge who tried to block Donald Trump’s deportation of 200 alleged Venezuelan gangsters previously spared a Russiagate lawyer from jail.

Judge James Boasberg spared Kevin Clinesmith, the former FBI lawyer, from prison after he was convicted of forgery during the federal investigation of Russian interference into the 2016 election.

Clinesmith pleaded guilty to a felony in August 2020, admitting to doctoring an email that served as support for a Russiagate wiretap of Carter Page, a former campaign official for Mr Trump. . .

However, Judge Boasberg sided with Clinesmith’s attorney, who argued that probation would be more appropriate as Clinesmith said he was not motivated by political bias.

Appearing sympathetic to the cost the lawyer had paid by “standing in the eye of a media hurricane,” he instead ordered him to work 400 hours of community service and 12 months probation. (Read more from “Judge Who Tried to Block Trump Migrant Deportations Spared Russiagate Lawyer” HERE)

Federal Judge Appoints Himself President [Satire]

By The Babylon Bee. The Trump Administration agenda was stopped in its tracks this week after a federal judge appointed himself the new President of the United States.

“There’s nothing we can do,” said legal experts. “He’s a federal judge.”

Sources confirmed that Judge Mortimer Dithers of the Northern District of California granted himself all the powers of the executive branch in an emergency move to stop Trump. “Last night, the Constitution appeared to me in a dream and told me to do this,” said Judge Dithers. “You can’t argue with that. Also, my word on this is law because I’m a federal judge.”

President Judge Dithers has already issued several executive actions, including orders for Tesla to stop making cars, Elon Musk to punch himself in the face, and Trump to not move his head next time someone shoots at him. “This is the bidding of your new leader,” said Judge Dithers. “So let it be done, by the order of your new Federal Judge President.”

Trump later responded to the ruling on Truth Social by accusing the judge of “looking like a potato.” (Read more from “Judge Who Tried to Block Trump Migrant Deportations Spared Russiagate Lawyer” HERE)
