Republicans Move to Impeach Judge Boasberg for Enabling Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost Scandal.


IN FULL
Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives are now working to pursue the impeachment of U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg, who—along with his colleague U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell—issued non-disclosure orders preventing public knowledge of nearly 200 subpoenas targeting Republican organizations, officials, and donors filed by former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Late Thursday evening, Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) announced he is drafting articles of impeachment against Boasberg. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), likewise, signalled he would pursue impeachment. It is unclear whether Judge Howell will also face impeachment.

The National Pulse reported on Wednesday that Jack Smith issued 197 subpoenas targeting over 430 Republican groups and individuals as part of the Arctic Frost probe. Senator. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) described the investigation as a “fishing expedition” aimed at improperly scrutinizing the Republican political apparatus. Among the subpoenas were requests for telecom carriers to provide Smith’s team with cellular data for around a dozen Republican lawmakers, with Boasberg and Howell’s orders preventing the companies from disclosing the requests.

“Radical activist judge James Boasberg continues to weaponize his judicial authority and target his political opponents,” Rep. Gill said in a statement. “Judge Boasberg facilitated the egregious Arctic Frost scandal, where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel.” Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama and now serving as chief judge in Washington, D.C., has faced prior criticism for rulings that impacted Trump administration policies.

Troublingly, under the guise of investigating the alleged involvement of President Trump and several Republican lawmakers in January 6, Jack Smith—enabled by judges Boasberg and Howell—appears to have, in reality, laid the groundwork for an unprecedented, weaponized, and partisan criminal probe aimed at crippling the Republican Party. Financial institutions and political vendors for Trump-aligned PACs were targeted with subpoenas, suggesting that Smith sought to establish monetary links between hundreds of consulting firms, advisors, and nonprofits that he could subsequently prosecute—presumably under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act—if he had secured a conviction against Trump.

He'll survive the impeachment because the Senate will not remove him. There's not enough votes from R's and the D's won't join them.

The only way to get him off the bench is to indict and convict him.

Making MAGA fucks angry is not a crime (yet)
 
Indicting, convicting and impeaching Trump didn't achieve much though.

Trump was impeached by the House and the impeachment failed in the Senate.

Boasberg's criminal acts may well cross a line for Democrats who might object to the idea of secret search warrants being used against them.

Maybe some Democrat Senators will be repelled by the illegal wiretapping of Republican Senators, and think there but for the grace of God go I.

Trumps criminal acts for which he was convicted by a court didn't cause Republicans to object to him or pass an obvious impeachment, why should Dems have more honor?

Answer, because they have.

Twice! Care to expound on why the senate failed to uphold their sworn oath to the constitution?

Well, it’s safe to say that Rightguide’s sources mislead, conflate, misconstrue, omit and otherwise fabricate a story that aligns with his echo chamber of bias confirmation.
 
No Republican pearl clutching about the Trump administration’s use of Palantir to collect data on everything and everyone?

Their moto:

“AI-Powered Automation for Every Decision”
 
They did their duty, held a trial, heard the Democrat accusations and then dismissed them as the political theatre that they were.
Pretty much what I expected you to say as a card carrying MAGAt who is totally fine with a trump led authoritarian regime. Carry on.
 
Interesting projection there 🏆

It doesn't suck to be me. Despite two failed attempts to impeach him in his first term and despite the Arctic Frost conspiracy effort to falsely imprison him Trump is my President again.

I'm pretty fucking fabulous over that! :nana:

So you’re against democracy, the Constitution, and rule of law. Noted.

I like the Constitution and the Republic it stands for.

We are not a democracy. We are a Republic.

As for the rule of law I look forward to seeing it applied equitably to Judge Boasberg and the rest of the plotters who tried to foist a coup against a duly elected President.

I also look forward to them receiving the perfectly lawful death penalty as it may apply to their acts of treason.

He could be arrested on the following three felony charges without an impeachment. He broke the law:

The prosecution alleges that by issuing the gag order, Judge Boasberg willfully deprived U.S. senators of their statutory right under 2 U.S.C. § 6628 to receive notification of legal processes seeking disclosure of Senate data, thereby violating their constitutional protections under the Speech or Debate Clause and separation of powers principles.

2. Obstruction of Proceedings Before Congress (18 U.S.C. § 1505):
This charge claims that the gag order obstructed the Senate’s ability to exercise its oversight functions, including the right to file a motion to quash the subpoenas, by preventing timely notification and thus hindering potential congressional inquiries or interventions.

3. Conspiracy Against Rights (18 U.S.C. § 241):
The DOJ asserts that Judge Boasberg conspired with Special Counsel Smith’s office to infringe upon the senators’ rights, using his judicial authority to conceal the subpoenas and evade Senate opposition.
 
I personally would like to see him indicted rather than impeached.

Let him justify his actions before a jury after all the evidence against him is laid out and see what they think.

It might happen.
 
It's not a particularly strong case but it does have legs.
He signed an illegal subpoena as a FISA judge, as well as those presently in question by legal minds in the Senate, as a District Court Judge.
