Donald Trump has four years of all the leverage the United States can throw at the world and he never has to face his voters ever again.

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.
Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

For those saying there will be no consequences for Bovino.
Maybe.
But DOJ has had to dismiss a slew of cases bc of this, and Bovino seems to now spend his time trolling on Xitter (he likes to call me "empty tire" when I note he's an adjudged liar).

As Judge Boasberg considers how to move forward with contempt proceedings re: Alien Enemies Act flights, plaintiffs provide list of names for potential witness testimony.
The list includes former DOJ official Emil Bove, who is now a federal judge on the 3rd Cir.

I know that sometimes my Civ Pro dorkdom comes out in these moments, but this is lowkey HILARIOUS to me. These Evil Twerps can't even read the Local Rules when they're trying to get children's medical info from a hospital as part of their anti-trans tirade. Sorry. You lose!
UPDATE: Another judge just dinged DOJ in another trans care subpoena case, with Judge Joun finding that DOJ missed a deadline, and, accordingly, their motion to alter the judgment in the Boston Children's Hospital case was "untimely." And, because DOJ also appealed, Joun has no further jurisdiction.
