The FBI agents did a search without a warrant of information they collected in another case that was outside of the warrant in that case. The case is closed so the government should have destroyed the information. The information included client-attorney privilege information.

Whoever wrote this episode needs to be fired. This is completely unbelievable, it would never happen in real life ... hold on a second.

Yes at least. There was significant criminal conduct by the FBI uncovered in the hearings. When Trump is clear of office, these people may end up being indicted over all of this.

Eastman and Cheesebro misconduct wasn't in court, nor did they lie to a court in an attempt to sneak the misconduct past the court. I think Halligan for sure isn't going to be able to practice law.

The case being dismissed is the least of the damage to the DoJ. There are ground for impeaching Bondi here, which of course won't happen with Republicans in charge of the House. There are ground for Halligan and Bondi to be disbarred. There is also a criminal case here in the illegal search.

I think they didn't count on grounds for Bondi to be impeached and disbarred. Nor did they count on Agents-1,2 and 3 being indicted under the Senator Graham standard of violating 4th A rights.

They uncovered criminal behavior in the DoJ WRT handling of information collected under warrants and then searching information that information without a warrant. Consider the Durham investigation got a single conviction over just falsifying facts in a warrant application.

Except here, there was substantial criminal activity documented in the case. There is substantial grounds for Halligan to be disbarred like a long list of Trump lawyer playing fast and loose. This is far worse than Giuliani or Cheesebro given this happened in court.

I believe Judge Fitzpatrick called this 'uncharted legal territory'.

This really seems to be the reason why the court chooses the US Attorney after 120-days of not having a Senate confirmed US Attorney in place.

There was significant criminal conduct involved. The question is what will happen to agent-1,2,3 and the prosecutor when Trump leaves office.

Well to be fair, these are THE Texas Official Ten Commandment. What the law requires to be posted doesn't actually appear in any version of variation of Jewish or Christian scripture.

The Texas Attorney General filing a lawsuit to support the law forms the basis for asserting that this is an attempt to establish an official state religion. The establishment clause provides broad protection, so any attempt to inject religion by law runs afoul of the 1st A establishment clause.

The US Constitution includes a clause that the government cannot establish a religion. Here Texas passed a law creating an official version of religious text and requiring it to displayed in every public school in the state. The AG is backing up the law by forcing schools to comply.

If they had read their Bible any Christian Bible they would have found that what Texas call THE Ten Commandment doesn't actually appear in any version or variation of scripture. Texas created a government official version of religious text.

The 'problem' is that US Citizens don't carry documents to prove they are in the US legally. People mistakenly believe that Real ID proves citizenship, it doesn't. The 14th A prevents states from declaring a person a citizen or not.

I am pretty sure immigrations handles people. Border Patrol seems to handle law enforcement and physical security. Things that would fall outside of customs. Customs officers don't patrol the border fence for example.

Which is why getting the administration to comply with existing law is crucial. Passing new law to be ignore is pointless.

I'm not saying you are wrong. It is a bit confusing since there is a 'Border Patrol' which sits in an organization called Customs and Border Protection. There doesn't seem to be a straight 'customs' on the org chart. The Field operations seem to have the customs mission but it is really hard to tell

Set aside the 'average worker' for a second. Most CEO get compensated 8-10 times more than VP level employees and something like 20-50 times more than director level employees. No where else does a promotion end up netting 10x increase in compensation.
