So there’s the confirmation of the first whistleblower charge that Grassley tried to bury in the Judiciary hearing he chaired, and it comes before the Senate has voted to confirm Bove. From the CNN article:
The whistleblower, a former DOJ attorney in the Office of Immigration Litigation, told CNN documents have been filed with the DOJ Office of the Inspector General that appear to align with another whistleblower’s account that Bove tried to mislead federal judges during the administration’s aggressive deportation effort this spring.
“I think it would be incredibly dangerous for someone like that to have a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge,” the whistleblower said.
These disclosures were filed in May before Erez Reuveni, an immigration law specialist who worked on the case of the mistakenly deported immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, made similar claims in a whistleblower letter in June. Once Reuveini went public, this whistleblower, who worked with Reuveni, decided to publicize on Friday that their own disclosure had been made to the DOJ inspector general ahead of Bove’s Senate confirmation vote.
Let’s hope it’s not too late to prevent this further desecration of our Judicial Branch.
Please call your Senators today, and make sure they’re aware of this development. It doesn’t matter if they’re Dems or GOP, call them and make the case that this guy is poison.
