Today, I addressed DOJ's excellent decision to file a judicial misconduct complaint against Judge Boasberg for lacking impartiality.

Judges aren't politicians in robes—they're judges.

President Trump's judicial nominees clearly understand that and proved it in their hearing. 🧵
This week, the DOJ filed a misconduct complaint against Judge Boasberg for his improper political conduct at a Judicial Conference meeting in the earlier this year.
Just days after Judge Boasberg told Chief Justice Roberts that he believed the Trump Administration would "disregard rulings of federal courts" and trigger "a constitutional crisis," he tried to prove himself right by issuing the infamous "turn the planes around" order. Image
The Supreme Court properly found that Boasberg had no jurisdiction in that case and that his order was unlawful. Image
Not to be deterred, even without jurisdiction, Judge Boasberg is now trying to "discipline" the DOJ lawyers. Enough is enough.

Thank you to the DOJ for fighting back against this kind of rogue conduct.

Rogue Judge Boasberg may "discipline" DOJ for not turning around planes full of terrorists and gangbangers headed to El Salvador.

Boasberg was just exposed for being biased against Trump last week.

I have new receipts that show he has been a partisan since his confirmation.🧵 Image
This revelation fits a long-running pattern of Judge Boasberg's open bias against President Trump.

Earlier in July, a memo revealed that Judge Boasberg and other DC judges were prejudicially speculating about how the Trump administration might respond to an adverse ruling. Image
According to the memo, while at a Judicial Conference meeting, Boasberg indicated that he and his colleagues were concerned that the Trump administration would defy court orders, despite the Trump administration’s compliance with every court order to date.

In April, Senate Democrats wrote me a letter requesting an oversight hearing on the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. On Wednesday, they got their wish when I chaired a Senate judiciary hearing where @HarmeetKDhillon testified on "Ending Illegal DEI Discrimination & Preferences" 🧵 Image
Image
Their letter argued that Harmeet Dhillon is "fundamentally transform[ing]" the Civil Rights Division. I agree. Harmeet Dhillon is fundamentally transforming the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and that's exactly what our country needs. Image
Image
Widespread discrimination plagues our society. Under previous administrations, racial discrimination was permitted to go unchecked — and often actively encouraged — by the DOJ Civil Rights Division through selective enforcement of federal civil rights laws. Image

Tomorrow, I'm leading a hearing on how we can forcibly dismantle the DEI regime.

For too long, our civil rights bureaucracy has aided and abetted discrimination.

It's time for lawbreakers to pay the price.

I'll be calling @HarmeetKDhillon and @GeneHamiltonUSA to testify. 🧵
Here's a hard but necessary truth:

For decades, our civil rights laws have been used not to prevent discrimination, but to enforce it.

Rather than protecting the equal rights of all citizens, the civil rights bureaucracy has become the enforcement arm of a new caste system.
This new system has gone by many names.

Today, it has found its most radical and extreme expression in the form of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" — or DEI.

DEI is not just illegal — it's a fraudulent and cynical doctrine, from top to bottom, built upon layers of lies.

🚨 Today, we are voting Emil Bove out of committee. President Trump nominated Emil Bove to serve on the Third Circuit to check rogue left-wing activists who pervert our rule-of-law.

My Op-Ep in @DC_Reporter lays out my support of Bove. He is a lawman, through and through. 🧵 Image
As a federal prosecutor, he prosecuted the most dangerous criminal conspiracies in the world, including Nicolás Maduro, the socialist dictator of Venezuela, and drug traffickers involved with the notorious “El Chapo.”
Our justice system is politicized at all levels by liberal activists. Bove has fought this politicization for years, both as Trump’s defense lawyer and as Justice Department’s deputy attorney general, removing left-wing DOJ officials who refused to follow the President’s orders. Image

Joe Biden claims he personally approved every pardon.

But, after his signoff, his staff quietly added violent criminals to the list and ran them through the autopen without telling him.

The autopen scandal just got blown wide open—again.🧵 Image
Here's what happened:

Biden didn't individually approve pardons. Rather, he signed off on criteria to be used in finding violent inmates he wanted to pardon or offer clemency.

Biden's staff then changed the final list and ran it through the autopen.
Biden's pardon abuses were awful. These megalomaniacal staffers made them even worse by expanding the list of murderers and rapists with executive clemency.

Yesterday, another rogue judge tried to undermine the will of the people.

Judge Indira Talwani issued a TRO enjoining portions of the OBBB that defund Planned Parenthood.

Worse, she lied to the Judiciary Committee about how she would rule as a judge. I have the receipts. 🧵 Image
First, Talwani said the most important attribute for a judge is a "deep and sincere" "fairness." Yet, in this case, she unambiguously undermined the integrity of her decision by issuing an unreasoned TRO (an emergency order halting action pending a hearing). Image
Second, Talwani pledged she would "decide cases solely based on the relevant law and facts." In this case, she cited no law, no facts, and not even any precedent. She acted solely by political ideology. Image
