When Worlds Collide - Judge Boasberg gets the Signal Case [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Trump was already on a crusade against Judge Boasberg over the plane deportations case using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

Now Judge Boasberg has been chosen at random to preside over the lawsuit by American Oversight, a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that works for "accountability, and democracy by enforcing the public's right to government records."

The lawsuit is against Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, Bessent, Rubio and NARA, the National Archives, for violating federal records laws by using the Signal messaging app that automatically deletes messages after a chat ends. I don't know yet how Bessent got in there. Federal law requires all chats, emails, voice messages and the like to be retained for 15 to 30 years, with a review after 15 years to see if there is any longer a reason to retain them.

American Oversight wants to recover deleted messages and in the process, we'll find out about all the other times Signal was used illegally by the group and about what subjects.

With the reveal of the whole chat about the Houthi rebel attack by Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, they have the ammunition they need.

"This reported disclosure of sensitive military information on a signal chat that included a journalist is a five alarm fire for government accountability and potentially a crime. War planning doesn't belong in emoji laden disappearing group chats. It belongs in secure facilities designed to safeguard national interests, something any responsible government official should have known," said Chioma Chukwu, American Oversight Interim Executive Director.

When Donald found out the Judge Boasberg had been chosen for the case, he went ballistic.

Reading Trump's rant is actually entertaining this time, knowing how he already hates this judge for thwarting his monarchy.

He starts off with putting judge in quotes to discredit Boasberg. His typical routine. But then he also puts "Trump Case" in quotes. Donald is so upset that he doesn't realize he's not one of the named individuals in the case. He takes everything personally, even when he's not included.

"... statistically, IMPOSSIBLE." He said that about the 2020 vote as well. He's just getting so insanely upset.

"There is no way a Republican, especially a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, to win before him."

Trump actually realizes that there are two beasts in the Republican Party. Those that oppose him, and those who bow down to him. It sure seems like there's only one type of Republican now.

"... Highly Conflicted...hatred...Massive Trump Derangement Syndrome..."

He is using all of his delegitimizing tools that he can.

"...disqualifying family... " You know, his daughter who works for Democratic candidates and causes. You're not allowed to be anything but a Republican.

"... grabbing all the 'Trump Cases' all to himself..." Again, he's taking a case that doesn't involve him directly, personally. And, of course, he's making all the cases against his administration as being Trump cases.

"... the 'wheel', and at random." The Wheel of Fortune just isn't spinning well for Trump. Where is Pat Sajak when he needs him?

"The good news is that it probably doesn't matter..." If that were the case, then why are you having so many problems about it?

"... virtually impossible for me to get an Honest Ruling in DC." Well, if that's the case, we can just throw away the Supreme Court ruling about presidential immunity. You'd like that, wouldn't you?

"Our Nation's Courts are broken..." Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, and it looks like you're not going to have a very good spring.

Courts in Washington, D.C., and New York are the ones holding Trump to account, so they're all automatically corrupt and radical. He'll keep saying it until the day he dies, which is probably coming up soon with his blood pressure.

"There must be in immediate investigation of this Rigged System, before it's too late!"

Trump just didn't learn from Chief Justice Roberts scolding him. Trump has already attacked Judge Boasberg since then.

Nothing is going to happen to the federal court system. Even though Mike Johnson talked about eliminating Circuit Court districts that rule against Trump, that would have to go through Congress, and taking away appropriations for the courts to operate also has to go through Congress. I don't think the public would stand for that. Just the MAGA idiots.

Donald was up late to write his latest attack on Judge Boasberg. He's going to have a lot more late nights in the future as the world turns against him.

Too bad for Donnie that Aileen Cannon is stuck in Florida. He would want her to be on the case so much. Trump has finally learned that random assignment doesn't always work in his favor.

American Oversight has what should be an open and shut case. The facts are already public. There's no refuting them any longer. All the excuses are invalid.

This will be fun to watch!
