Senate Judiciary Democrats requested Chuck Grassley hold a hearing to investigate Erez Reuveni's whistleblower claims regarding Emil Bove's contempt of Judge Boasberg's order. Grassley rebutted Reuveni's allegations by stating that DOJ received appellate relief on reported misconduct, claiming Bove made a controversial comment prior to court orders, and alleging Bove did not instruct others to ignore Boasberg's directives. Grassley also downplayed the relevance of documents provided by Reuveni, stating they largely reflect internal litigation strategy rather than evidence of wrongdoing.
Grassley's three main rebuttals of Reuveni's allegations include that DOJ has received appellate relief on misconduct, that Bove's comment about telling a judge 'fuck you' occurred before any orders, and that Bove testified he did not instruct any DOJ lawyers to disregard Boasberg's order.
Grassley asserts that the files handed over by Reuveni mention Bove in 'almost none' of the documents, branding it misleading since 'almost none' contrasts with 'none'.
Grassley emphasizes that most documents reflect discussions on litigation strategy regarding court orders, suggesting that such debates indicate no intention to ignore them.
Grassley's claims about the extent of documents referencing Bove clash with assertions made by Reuveni, hinting at inconsistencies in narrative surrounding Bove's actions.
