Trump's DOJ Lawyers Creep Closer to Contempt of Court

In the ongoing litigation over whether the Trump administration violated Judge James Boasberg's order to turn around plans carrying Venezuelan immigrants whose constitutional rights had been violated, DOJ attorneys are now refusing to provide additional information about who was deported and when the planes took off and landed.

The DOJ lawyers are claiming that such information can't be disclosed under the "state secrets" doctrine. This video takes on the contention that the information being sought by Judge Boasberg to determine if the Trump administration violated his orders and should be held in contempt can't safely be disclosed to Judge Boasberg, who, incidentally, is also the Chief Judge of the United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court.

Might it be that the real reason the Trump administration won't provide that basic information to the judge is because it will prove that they violated the judge's order?

Refusal to provide proof to the judge when so ordered is contempt of court.

If Pam Bondi had any real insight or understanding of the law, I believe she would be embarrassed by her actions and her incredibly wrong interpretation of the law. She has never had a relationship with the truth or reality.

I am so sick of Trumps gang getting away with everything! No one does anything to stop them! When will Congress step in and sort these idiots out!

[edmundrobichaud]

I don't believe ANYTHING will come close to being lawful for the next 4 years, let alone any accountability.

The judge can get the pilote and crew into his Court and get the informations he is seeking. These DOJ lawyers will get what they deserve. The Bar should be informed of these arrogant lawyers. They will pay for this arrogance.
