Judge James Boasberg, the lawfare fanatic serving as the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for D.C., issued an order intended to conceal the Biden administration’s attempted seizure of Sen. Ted Cruz’s phone records. In doing so, it appears he likely violated federal law.
According to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, as part of the Biden administration’s “Arctic Frost” inquiry dead set on targeting Republicans in battleground states, Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the get-Trump lawfare for years, “secretly obtained phone record data from at least eight senators and one congressman.”

Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.
Even if impeachment fails to garner a conviction and removal, Congress does not need a 2/3 majority to redraw judicial district lines in such a way as to leave these black-robed tyrants without a judicial seat, i.e. out of a job. Though taxpayers will still be on the hook for their salaries, at least we won't be paying for the undermining of our constitutional republic.

The senate votes are not there to impeach anyone. Is Bondi barred from indicting a federal judge?

Another spyder: Another nothing. If this "judge" managed to call for a Senator's phone records and he gets the information he's looking for, he needs to get prosecuted. Sent to Alcatraz. Oh well. We all know what this means? A big fat nothing burger. The judge just goes on with his dirty work and gets away with no prosecution. Getting tired with all this garbage.

A properly functioning judicial system by right should function with the assumption that honor will dominate its decisions and behavior. It is vulnerable to calculating scoundrels. Boasberg is a calculating scoundrel. Impeachment isn‘t a sufficient response to his behavior.

I wonder if he can be charged criminally? Should be indicted if it is possible.

Boasberg deserves to be behind bars at Leavenworth, not only for this violation but for the illegality he engendered as the chief FISA Court Judge in its Illegal Operations!

Boasberg is too big for his britches, and is an ignorant ass to boot. Even if there are not 2/3 of Senators to convict, impeach him anyway and put him through the humiliation and expense of a trial in the Senate.

Another Obama "appointed" judge legislating from the bench. How do these unelected people get this much power. His rulings are opinions not fact. Why have elections and give this much power to the unelected.

Here we go again with "appear" and "likely." It violated federal law or it didn't. So, maybe tell us what WON'T happen to Boasberg.

We have recently seen corrupt immigration court judges arrested (and now awaiting trial) for assisting defendants subject to ICE detainers to evade the ICE agents waiting outside the court. Those judges broke the law and are receiving the consequences. I see no reason why Bozoberg should get any less consideration by the Department of Justice. And last time I checked, there was no exemption in The Constitution permitting members of the courts to be free of prosecution for breaking laws. Arrest Boasberg, and if possible, deny him bail so that he cannot work as a thinly-veiled judicial activist for law-breaking Democrats.

Let us all weep tears of schadenfreude for poor old "JEB," for the "hunter" has now become the "hunted."

Amazing how aggressive the Senators can get about removing a rogue federal judge when they’re the ones being targeted.

No need for Impeachment, Indict him for the Federal Crime, convict and put him in a prison cell with someone he put there. Boasberg, Have a Happy day or two until someone Shives you!

#2--Yes and no.....judges have limited immunity for acts undertaken as judges, but not if they intentionally violate the law under the guise of judicial action. This one is in that area but who is going to be the judge who sits to convict his fellow jurist? Find me a judicial Boasberg enemy and I'll show you a Chief Justice and bud of Boasberg who will be sitting on the SCOTUS to rule that unfriendly judge has a conflict of interest.

Maybe this is one for Justice to indict Boasberg and Smith for conspiracy to violate 42 USC 1983 and obstruction of justice; it should prove an interesting trial.

This fellow Boasberg looks and acts like he's America's Roland Freissler.
