"Fuck You:" Todd Blanche Continues to Flopsweat over Emil Bove's Contempt - emptywheel
Briefly

Erez Reuveni corroborated his whistleblower complaint with communications revealing that at least two witnesses discussed his attributed "fuck you" comment towards Bove, which Bove could not recall at his confirmation. Texts suggest Drew Ensign claimed ignorance of deportation under the Alien Enemies Act, and Flentje engaged in discussions about deportation logistics. These communications show a sustained acknowledgment of the comment and potential misconduct related to deportation actions, implicating Todd Blanche in these unlawful efforts.
Reuveni produced texts between him and an unnamed colleague discussing Drew Ensign's claimed ignorance of deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act at an emergency hearing before James Boasberg. Reuveni describes that they were 'About to enter the find out phase following fuck around.'
Another set of texts reportedly shows August Flentje texting Reuveni an hour before the planes to El Salvador would land, quipping, 'guess its time to find out on the "fuck you," which Reuveni claims is proof that Flentje heard the 'fuck you' comment.
So Reuveni has brought the goods showing that he and his colleagues not just heard the 'fuck you' comment, but continued to discuss it for several days.
Reuveni also substantiated his claims about Emil Bove's role.
