Emil Bove, formerly President Trump's lawyer, was confirmed as an appellate court judge today, July 29.
This is a benchmark of how low the President has brought this country. Because we now have an appeals court judge who advocated ignoring court orders when he was (briefly) in the Department of Justice.
Just remember -- we can, and probably will, go even lower than this.
Trump picks top Justice Dept. official who was his lawyer to be a judge
Emil Bove, who steered the effort to drop criminal charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, was nominated for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Bove, a former lawyer for Donald Trump and current top Justice Department official, was the target of three whistleblower complaints.
"Bove has played a central role in the Trump administration’s efforts to fire career prosecutors and in crafting its legal strategy on immigration. Two whistleblowers accused him of telling subordinates in a March meeting that they may need to ignore court orders that would hamper Trump’s campaign to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. One of them, Erez Reuveni, who was fired from the Justice Department in April, went public with his account."
