The federal judge Republicans want to impeach for blocking deportation flights to El Salvador will handle a new lawsuit alleging Trump officials violated federal law by discussing an attack on Yemen in a Signal chat.
I’m sure they’ll respect his judgement this time, just as much as they did with the deportation flights.

If I was this Judge I’d be requesting a 24x7 security detail from the US Marshals.
Expect wild bleating from Republicans to impeach this guy and/or get rid of Federal courts entirely to reach a fever pitch.
It looks like Trump already did that.

In a series of social media posts, Trump smeared Boasberg as a “Radical Left Lunatic Judge” and called for his impeachment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Boasberg
James Emanuel “Jeb” Boasberg (born 1963)[2] is an American lawyer and jurist who is the chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Appointed by President George W. Bush, he served as a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia from 2002 to 2011, before Barack Obama nominated him to the US district court for the District of Columbia. Chief Justice John G. Roberts appointed him to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in 2014, and he served as the presiding judge of the FISC from 2020 to 2021. In 2020, he was appointed to the United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court and designated chief judge.
If he’s “radical left”, no doubt this is all part of some sort of grand conspiracy between President Bush, President Obama, and conservative Chief Justice John G. Roberts to infiltrate communists into high positions in the government.
The people he’s talking to are incredibly gullible.
Actual radical left: Abolish capitalism through violence
Trump’s radical left: People that don’t like storing classified information in country club bathrooms or on personal devices.
Radical Left Lunatic Judge
…
Appointed by President George W. Bush
For fuck’s sake.
What a lovely coincidence.
I am just gloating in delight from this news. They pissed him off once already by ignore his orders. Oh boy he’s going to make shit airtight this time.
Yeah, ignoring a judges specific orders and claiming that you didn’t, threatening a judge, that sort of stuff doesn’t go over well.
What makes you say that? It has went over perfectly well for the Trump team, and it was honestly a huge success for them in legitimizing this push for supreme executive power.
This judge will be kicked off the bench by repubs any day now.
…and then somehow mysteriously the case will end up in judge Cannon’s court.
Kicked off a window ledge.
