This Judicial Complaint Could Have Been An Email - Above the Law

"The Justice Department lied in a judicial misconduct complaint against Chief Judge James Boasberg of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, referring to attached evidence that was not provided and may not even be in the possession of the DOJ. The complaint, addressed to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the DC Circuit, alleged that Judge Boasberg attempted to intimidate Chief Justice John Roberts at the March meeting of the Judicial Conference."

"The nastygram, signed by the AG's chief of staff Chad Mizelle, was vague on the source of its information, simply dropping a footnote to "Attachment A at 16." But no such attachment was included in the copy of the complaint slipped to reporters in July. That missing attachment is the subject of a FOIA suit filed by Law and Chaos, and we can now exclusively confirm that no such copy was provided to Chief Judge Srinivasan either, according to a source familiar with the matter."

The Justice Department lodged a judicial misconduct complaint against Chief Judge James Boasberg that referenced an attachment which was not provided and may not be in DOJ possession. The complaint alleged Boasberg attempted to intimidate Chief Justice John Roberts at the March Judicial Conference and made improper public comments about pending cases. The complaint cited "Attachment A at 16," but reporters and Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan received copies lacking any attachment. Law and Chaos filed a FOIA lawsuit; Chief Judge Srinivasan has not received the referenced attachment. The complaint appears performative and aimed at discrediting rulings unfavorable to the Trump administration.
