If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
He will be confirmed. The evil is a redeeming quality in oranges world.
There used to be a time when a person would refrain from certain actions (like breaking the law or being a flat out racist) as to not bring shame to their family or friends. Bove, Bondi, Miller and so many more don't seem to have any shame.
Agreed
Can Congress-critters be prosecuted as accessories to the crime?
Can’t disbarment proceedings be initiated immediately? As is today.
unfortunately George, it would never happen...would get a slap on wrist, and get out of jail free card from his Daddy Trump..
is there a more overused and meaningless word in the USA right now as "should" ?
Bet he’ll be confirmed though
Maybe someday government will be better and then all those Nazi Mafia slugs will be prosecuted!
Exactly. Another monster. Do not give him a life time judge position.
GOP Senators will vote (after some hand wringing) in vote in lockstep to confirm.
Oh, so like Susan Collins (R-ME)?
Exactly.
Can you call Tim Kaine and let him know.
Wanna bet he gets appointed? This is not democracy anymore, it’s whatever the flavor of the day is.
Sadly, I'm reminded of the lyrics from Hamilton, sung in a mocking tone: "You don't have the votes!" Bove will get the slot. The parade of awarding loyalists, sycophants killing democracy, and the punishment of outsiders will continue.
"should"
Let’s hope
Yeah, well, the criminals are running the show... so that's not happening.
They'll prolly slither him anyhow. He does fit right in with the rest of the despicable miscreants, they've confirmed!
He will. Because we're all in hell.
StringnotLock
Satan awaiting his arrival 2 his special place
But this Senate will vote to do so.
I’ve never seen a bigger group of people who managed to fail up.
FILE COMPLAINT TO DISBAR!!!!
Will it matter when nothing the GOP and their cronies do seems to be illegal
💯
Why the hell wasn’t the witness called to the hearing? Seems to me that Congress can act with speed if they want to.
Yeah I’d like to know why the DOJ lawyer wasn’t there to contradict his testimony.
Yes, exactly! I do hope they obstruct his nomination until the witness can be heard.
Regrettably for our dying democracy, he will be rewarded for his "loyalty" and face no legal or professional ramifications because GOP senators are failing their oath to support and defend the Constitution. I don't know if it's out of fear or greed, but they are no longer working for the people.
Well the state that licenses him can do that. He has complaints pending against him. The real Q is must you be a licensed lawyer to be an appellate court justice? As I recall the answer to that is no. Anyone can be appointed to the federal bench.
substack.com/@democraticw...
Repost! Call your senators! BIG FAT NO! Just another NAZI! Every senator vote No! We are watching!
So file the bar complaints FFS!
"Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred." Place your bets. This is actually an easy one based on recent events. 🤨
Mr. Erez Reuveni is the one guy standing in front of the tanks in Tiananmen
As always George you are spot on - and thank you for fighting for our country our freedom our rule of law
Remember this man refuses to testify truthfully(Biden won in 2020) is 44 years old. This is a lifetime appointment. In 20 or 30 years this political hack would still be on the bench long after the man to whom he appears to have sworn allegiance is buried next to Ivana on a Trump golf course.
Sadly he will be confirmed and do a lot of damage to our democracy.
This man at 1600 will destroy everyone's careers Rudy ,Lindell start the list it will be endless at the end of this . It is our job to make sure they are never employed again in their chosen profession.
but he will
Seems to be a pattern with all cabinet members of this administration.
It won’t matter. The worst among us are in the highest positions.
Unfortunately we all know that will never happen.
Oh please NO! This is what we have become? If allegations are true this is unbelievable! Protect the whistleblower!
💯💯💯
This is the problem with our system if it was working properly the judicial system would have made sure he was disbarred.
On loan from Putin? Send Trump’s ghoulish personal crooked lawyer Emil Bove, back to where he looks like he belongs, in Putin’s Judiciary of Russia.
On loan from the devil.
We all know the Repugnants have that EVIL POS on a fast track to replace Thomas or Alito. We’re in the worst episode of The Twilight Zone!
Can we please just Bork the MFer and move on?
This non-lawyer just read the entire letter, and just holy shit.
Likely it goes further than the letter.
Holy shit.
He's the kind of person that will fit right in with the tRump and his party, you know....the party of "law and order."
I'm not a lawyer but still thought he should be disbarred. Has no one filed a Bar Association complaint against this guy? Office of Disciplinary Action or whatever entity applies to him? If he is allowed to be allowed to be a lawyer, there are no rules.
Filibuster isn't an option anymore for senate confirmation if I'm correct especially due to Satan's spawn having majority. Can't every single democratic take a piece of this letter and keep it moving like living proof to the facts in the hearing? Let it be on record. Convince Republicans w/ a spine.
I say he'll be confirmed. Please, please, please let me be wrong. I will willingly and gladly admit that I was wrong.
The sad part about it is we are losing faith in what should happen and what is done under the Felon's regime.
I wouldn’t say a fraction…I’m sure the whole damn thing is true.
I'll go one step further and say that ANY Senator that votes to confirm him deserves to be impeached
I guess that means this GOP led Senate will confirm him.
🎯🎯🎯💯👌
Every senator and member of Congress who is not proposing legislation toward getting the rich out of government, end lobbying, and Citizens United needs to be voted out. Just this. Displays of dismay and anger are a distraction and not what we pay them for. Do something now. Projects 2027 and 2029.
Has a disciplinary complaint been filed with the appropriate bar disciplinary committee(s), signed by people like you to Prof. Tribe and everyone in between? If not, why not? At a minimum, it may well provide appropriate fodder to stall his confirmation hearings. And perhaps get him disbarred, too.
But have you switched parties yet ?
But, if neocons want him, dems will confirm.
One has to have criminal credentials to get ahead in GOP.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov must get EVERY dem to vote NO!!! ‼️‼️‼️
I really hope Boasberg holds Bove in criminal contempt. I bet Reuveni has all the emails as evidence.
I hope he has tapes!!
He does and he submitted them to the Senate with his complaint.
As long as he kept plenty of copies in several different places
@michaelbennet.bsky.social @hickenlooper.bsky.social Your country needs you to vote ’NO’ and convince 3 Rs!!
But again, there doesn’t seem to be any consequences for these people!
But he will be, of course.
This raises agsin the issue of the power of courts to appoint counsel to prosecute criminal contempt when the normal prosecuting authority is itself implicated.
The unitary executive theory is PR for organized crime.
If you didn’t see it, this was my take on @gtconway.bsky.social’s post: bsky.app/profile/jabb...
I am hoping with all hope someone will take action. It will open a really bad door if he’s appointed.
If every word of it is true, it makes him a shoo-in.
So this means he'll be confirmed. Because republicans.
If you're not morally or ethically challenged, you don't belong in the Trump Administration. Slip up, show a scintilla of integrity, and you're gone. www.axios.com/2025/06/24/t...
Thank you, George Conway. I searched for this last night and couldn’t find it.
And he always looks like he’s just been exhumed.
Counting on the GOP in the Senate to do the right thing has never once worked.
I still have hope this time…
I'm just here to point out that Emil Joseph Bove is an anagram for Evil Me Hopes Job.
Trump's version of Law & Order is doing what he wants and skipping law when inconvenient.
Why aren't Democrats blocking these terrible nominations?
Because they don’t have the majority.
Neither did Republicans when Tommy Tuberville was blocking all of Biden’s military appointments.
He abused a mechanism of Senate privilege to do it. "I hope no one forgets what he did." — President Joe Biden thehill.com/homenews/adm...
And they intend to abuse the Parlimentarian too, so Democrats need to start doing some abusing themselves.
iirc - Tuberville delayed many soldiers’ promotions, months of families waiting in limbo about new assignments— all because Biden sought a way to help Female soldiers deployed in Red States access to Women’s rights!
Agreed.
All of this illegal maneuvering is happening because the POTUS has parson power. Constitutional amendment: Remove pardon power from the POTUS.
*pardon*
More likely the Presidential immunity conferred by SCOTUS
Yes, but how do you prove its true? Its a "He said, she said" thing.
He will be confirmed, they do not care, they embrace these people into their cult, the uglier the better
A-feckin-men!
Grassley and Jordan will approve him.
Jordan has no say on this.
What you are posting is a whistleblower letter in terms of investigating the DOJ. But the Senate confirms individuals for specific positions.
What about Grassley?
Grassley has a vote, just like everyone else in the Senate.
Thanks.
The House doesn't confirm anyone.
Oh. But those two a holes got Kavanaugh confirmed.
I don't remember the Kavanaugh situation specifically. But all Jordan could have done was lobby for Kavanaugh. He had no actual vote to confirm him.
He and Grassly lobbied like crazy and brought in that sycophant to question witnesses against Kavanaugh which was an indecent shitshow.
But he will be with a few democrats that will vote yes too. Garbage humans
But.
Holy Shit! Just like every trump indictment, the details are just so crazy! It’s insane that he’ll likely get the lifetime job (🤢) and not face any consequences.
The Bove is bad.
He doesn’t recall saying much. I wonder if he cheats on his wife and tells her he doesn’t recall taking those vows.
Wait, someone married THAT?
What do you think GOP Senators will do? Not what they say but rather what they do.
Only the worst candidates 🫣
Yeah, but I would suspect the Republican Congress would cave as usual. If they will cave on people like RFKjr and Hegseth, then this is an easy one for them, cowards that they are
When was the last time you saw Republicans/Trump Party do the right thing?
But…. you know he will be confirmed. Unfortunately.
Well yes in a Normal world which this is not. Hegseth was confirmed even though it was proven he was a drunk sexual abuser & little to no experience. Bove is tRump's Ron Cohn.
I would bet it’s more likely than not that Republicans will fall in line & confirm him.
But he won’t and he will most likely be nominated for Supreme Court position at some point
Yes !!!!
agreed!!
ISTG if a single Democrat votes for him, there will be hell to pay
George: THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE GRIND SLOOOOOWLY. (So glad I failed the Cal Bar exam,38%pass rate, thank you 🙏 )
As long as Trump is in charge, he will continue to seat criminals, and morally bankrupt and unethical people that is how his administration will thrive.
Has anyone asked him yet what he will say or do when confirmed and a lawyer tells him to Fuck Off?
And yet he will. Today's Anerica.
You sound as if there aren't judges that don't do this already. I believe the hypocritical right calls them "activist judges." This grim reaper got busted but "norms & traditions" dictate that he will not be punished but REWARDED. The whistleblower? Well we know what happens to them.
re Bove: "In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit." Sadly, "no way should he be confirmed" is the #1 qualification for working in Trump's government.
Please share with fox social media.
You can be sure republicans will vote to confirm. They’re in lockstep with a corrupt president why would a corrupt judge bother them.
Say it louder. They’ll do it. You know that.
I just audibly snorted when I opened the document and read that
Good catch.
I've never seen or heard of anything honorable, by or from, Jim Jordan, he's just another lying, nasty, BIG mouth, Republican.
Gymshorts needs to respond to that subpoena issued ages ago. He's a pervert and a liar who should have gone to prison for that little thing about young wrestlers.
He could find alternate employment playing an eerily weird townsperson in a Stephen King movie set in Maine.
he could work for Steve Miller then.
Ha, they'd be from the inbred family.
Do you really believe even 1 R will vote against Dear Leader?
Hate to dash you hopes, but they will confirm him. They are all cowards
@supportdemocracy.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @progressdems.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @repbonamici.bsky.social
If I was a New York lawyer I would be asking for his immediate suspension and ultimate disbarment. Former Republican, been a member of the Third Circuit Bar for 35 years, planning on resigning if Bove is confirmed.
I appreciate your strong stance on this. It means alot in these dark days.
The NY Bar should not kowtow to a criminal.
he should be prosecuted for being creepy....keep your toilet seat down..something like Bove could come slithering up...
Funny 😁
He’s going to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Charge him!
Even more frightening than the prospect of his confirmation to the circuit court of appeals is the fact that he’s a heartbeat away from a seat on SCOTUS
Can it even be stopped at this point?
They won’t be real courts anymore. Judge Learned Hand warned about popular surrender of hard-won freedoms and breaches of the Constitution in his well-publicized speech in May 1945. Read it again and weep. Then re-read Eisenhower’s famous warning about military-industrial complex. Mil-Tech now.
Read thru this letter w my mouth agape. It does my heart good to know that there are (were) still people like Mr. Reuveni in the government. The pressure had to be fierce and it came on top of situations that had to be confusing as hell. At least for a while. Hats off to Mr. Reuveni for his courage.
"If even a fraction of what this letter says is true..." More likely that what the letter says is a fraction of the sad truth.
Can someone file with the Bar to investigate him?
If any Dems cote for this they should be voted out. I don't want to see any Dems vote for anything this lawless administration wants. From here on out. Dems WE are watching you.
Start voting these senators that think he deserves to b on this court out! They'll think about the next crooked judge before voting to confirm them
Is the committee meeting with the letter-writer?
I think Bove looks like Roy Cohen. Homan looks like Hoover. Noem and Bondi have created faces that look like the she villains in a comic book story. If you were to have a comic book of my time, like Dick Tracy, those characters would look exactly like that. Where is Brenda Starr?
and the unredeemable evilness of people that spurred him on.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
Wow! That is a powerful read and shows the conviction and stamina of Mr Reuveni to try to do his job as he knew it. Me Bove clearly wished to violate the court order and several other attorneys are named who enabled that.....they and Mr Bove should be investigated for disbarment/ criminal contempt
But he will be confirmed. Also confirmed: that the GOP is a criminal organization.
The entire process is corrupted .
For a LIFETIME appointment! Outrageous.
The operative word in both these sentences is "should." If we lived in a sane and reasonable world of genuine checks and balances - that all *should* happen. But unfortunately we all live in Trump's America now.
I got $100 that says it’s 100% true.
Terrifying. Truth is losing to Trump and his MAGA minions. DoJ has been thoroughly corrupted.
Can someone file a complaint against him with the Bar?
Sure looks like we're just going to have to eat this s*** for the next three and a half years because Trump's got all the guns.
🎯
"I don't recall " The mating call of the guilty. And besides, why would we want someone with such a lousy memory?
Does he need dems to confirm?
No.
This is why accountability matters so much. This administration now feels emboldened to do whatever they want.
MAGA = Make Accountability Go Away. Lost cause as long as MAGA are in charge.
Dems had 4 years to prosecute him. They didn't. The entire establishment is corrupt and terrified of actually checking or balancing anything.
True, but the Supreme Court helped in the delays.
This administration and their congressional Waterboy backup singers.
Where was the gd bar when the other shit came out....licenses in this country mean nothing, just money making organizations now...
Come on, George, we both know he is going to get confirmed.
Amen.
Facts
This hideous abomination is a pass/fail test for the basic decency and integrity of our government— one I have no confidence we will pass. 🙁🚩
General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social A general strike is when working people refuse their labor until demands are met • Research shows 3.5% of the population is required, or 11 million Americans. Currently over 355,000 have joined. General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
Anyone taking bets on how Fetterman will vote on Bove? 🙄
This is your party, George You’ve been in Republican longer than anything How they’re behaving today is no different than they were 40 y ago. you finally woke up. your party, captured the Supreme Court heritage Society has dismantled democracy after chipping away for 50 years
Captured the Supreme Court by Senate Republicans STEALING 2 seats from Democrats! -TO Force women & girls to Birth. All 6 GOP Extremists are or were Catholic -Gorsuch was reared Catholic, now Episcopalian. Obviously not reflective of US population because of the Thefts.
In no way!!!
All rules and laws have been suspended by the despot and his regime of MAGAt performers in his Cirque du Despot. The MAGAt majority Congress overlooks criminality & questionable character. It's a combination of cronyism and quid pro quo, the darkest forms of government subversion.
None, repeat, none! Of tRumPutins judicial picks should ever be confirmed or even garner any Democratic votes at all. They shouldn't even garner any reTHUGliKKKon KKKultist votes either, but you know they will bow to dear leader and vote yes.
Yes, WE MOST CERTAINLY CAN ARREST ANY CRIMINAL with probable cause evidence, in seats or NOT! We've been giving our power away by believing the BIGGEST LIE since decades before he claimed he Won 2020 to learn how to guarantee his 2024 "win" Watch Vigilante Inc & follow Andrew Flanagan & Mark Elias
Yes! But they WON'T EVER DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE??? Why? Then say they can't once the criminals cheat & lie & commit more crimes to get in office where they have IMMUNITY w/ IMPUNITY WE GAVE TO THEM? This is exactly what they did w/ fake POTUS We want to know WHY our Dems refuse to protect us!?
And unfortunately, the spinless #senators will rubber stamp his confirmation. We are in such a terrible, horrible place. And only on day 157.
Came here to say the same.
George- You really should not chime in. Once the GOP sees that you oppose Bove and believe he should be prosecuted, it will certainly appoint him to the Court of Appeals and have him on a SCOTUS short list.
You think they give af, our president is a convicted criminal ffs
When someone is in front of Senate committees & is unable to say Yes or No, but dances faster than a bee on steroids, you can bet they committed a crime. Bove is a stone cold criminal abuser of power & a traitor to his constitutional oath.
Every lawyer that commits crimes or lies should be disbarred as they are not abiding by the oath that lawyers as officers of the court must take.
🎯 yes!
Who would prosecute it though? Not the Trump DOJ.
...and yet he will.
Or, for those with creative dyslexia, Evil Bomb.
Why is accountability do hard?
Senators do NOT confirm Bove Remember your horrible confirmation of Pam Bondi RFK Jr Pete drunk Hegseth Vought too @schiff.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov
It's where the republicans have taken us. I can not imagine that you were ever a republican when I follow these threads of thought that emanate from the likes of Bove and his ilk.
Add his name to the pile of names we need to circle back to when the rule of law will actually mean something again.
There is no even, only the odd behavior of the us administration.
The idea that any of these creatures will ever be held accountable for their many misdeeds, rather than rewarded for them, is quaint. So cute.
Could the Congressional D’s propose a law to eliminate Ice, replace it with a new, independent agency under an official not subject to the President but reportable to Congress?
People aren't owed appointed positions. If someone "can't recall" something from the last 5 years, it should automatically be granted as being true, and/or they should be disqualified for lacking the mental capacity for a demanding position.
He sets his own precedent.
Please prosecute Bondi with him.
Or it makes him a front runner for another corrupt supreme court justice #corruptSC
What depths of hell did they dig this demon up from?
he is prepping for scotus
A fraction? 9/10ths is a fraction
The extent to which Trump appointees and administration in general is blatantly ignoring court orders, regulations, laws and the constitution itself is horrifying. This cannot continue without ruinous and permanent damage to the reputation and functioning of the United States government.
I think it has ruined our reputation across the world, especially with our traditional allies who can no longer trust us. It will take many, many years of repudiation of the lawlessness once this administration is gone.
absolutely but no Trump appointments should go anywhere in the Senate We have the perfect example of why this must be done on parade every day
