Glenn Kirschner, a former prosecutor, suggested on SiriusXM that Donald Trump and his Justice Department could soon face criminal contempt charges due to their blatant defiance of judicial authority. Kirschner criticized recent actions, including the DOJ's response attacking Judge James Boasberg for halting deportation flights, highlighting a trend of open defiance from Trump and his officials. He noted that such disrespect towards court rulings could escalate into severe legal consequences, emphasizing that only in matters of contempt can a judge appoint an independent prosecutor to address violations.
We are going to see the c-word uttered very soon: contempt. It will start as criminal contempt, likely morphing into civil contempt as well.
The only time a judge can appoint an independent prosecutor to prosecute a case is for contempt of court, which is a serious violation of court orders.
