Republicans are so scared of Judge Boasberg they are going after the Circuit Court Clerk [1]

Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Chip Roy and Rep. Darrell Issa seems to think that there is something nefarious going on with Judge Boasberg getting cases involving Trump.
Ms. Caesar, the Clerk of the Court, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has to answer their questions by 5:00pm on May 19th that they already know the answer to. In a 4 page letter to Angela, they recount the randomness of choices for judges to get assigned cases.
Jamie Raskin was happy to oblige with a video on X explaining the process as well as putting up the 4 page letter to Caesar. Jaime has a Bluesky account but he doesn't post everything he does on X. This is one of those.
Here's page 2 of the letter where they describe the process.
In his X video, Raskin lays out how Judge Boasberg actually has fewer Trump cases than 11 other judges in the Circuit. So, Raskin says Boasberg doesn't have enough Trump cases.
Take that, ignorant Republican Representatives!
On page 3, they accuse Caesar of literally dealing from the bottom of the deck.
You can read the whole letter on Judiciary.house.gov (PDF).
I seriously doubt there is any documentation Caesar can provide, because they weren't chosen. They were randomly assigned. How do you backtrack to the state of the deck at the assignment of each case? What about all the other states of the deck when other judges were assigned? This is just one more useless fishing expedition. But they will call it a "gotcha!' moment.
Representatives Jordan and Roy are lawyers. All Issa has is a GED. Unqualified for positions in government is a Republican trait.
Angela only has a LinkedIn page and no other social media. They have absolutely no ammunition.
All Jordan, Roy and Issa have is a case assignment they already know how it works. Still another waste of taxpayer dollars to defend the criminal president, Donald Trump.
On the Democratic side of the committee, you've got Jasmine Crockett, Dan Goldman, Jared Moskowitz, Pramila Jayapal, Ted Lieu, Eric Swalwell, Zoe Lofgren, Jerry Nadler, and ranking member Jamie Raskin. The Chairman is Jim Jordan.
Whatever Ms. Caesar says, it won't be enough. Jordan will call for a hearing and subpoena her. Then all the Democrats will decry the waste of taxpayer money. Jordan will say they are doing proper oversight. But, that will only work for about 10 seconds. Too many heavy hitters on the Democrat side.
What if she just flips them off, and ignores what is a request? Seeing as how they already know how the selection process works, she could put that in one paragraph as a response.
And that will enrage the Republicans because they are never wrong. Just like Trump.
