'You felt you could disregard it?': Judge grills Trump DOJ over White House ignoring oral order - eviltoast

Summary

A federal judge criticized a Trump administration Justice Department lawyer who claimed they didn’t have to follow the judge’s oral order blocking deportations to El Salvador because it wasn’t in writing.

Judge Boasberg questioned why the administration ignored his directive to return immigrants to the US. The DOJ lawyer repeatedly refused to provide information about the deportations, citing “national security concerns.”

Frustrated, Boasberg ordered sworn declarations explaining what happened, quipping that he would issue a written order “since apparently my verbal orders don’t seem to carry much weight.”

    At the end of Inglorious Basterds, Aldo Raines has his man kill Hans Landa’s assistant. Landa screams “You’ll be shot for that!” and Aldo says:

    “Shot? I don’t think so, more like chewed out. I been chewed out before.”

    During the first administration KellyAnne “SkankySkag” Conway received numerous fines for her near constant violations of the Hatch Act, eventually reaching $100,000, which she never paid. When asked about it, she casually dismissed it, saying “Let me know when they start talking about jail time.”

    Things like censure, polls, stern warnings, appeals to morality, etc. Mean less than nothing to these traitors. They are determined to destroy America, and nothing less than harsh imprisonment will get through to them. If we get through this, we need to viciously purge MAGA from society and prohibit it’s existence.
