I’ll Wait To See If Kash Patel Has Any Actual Evidence Here…


But for the moment, color me decidedly skeptical about the idea that he has solid evidence to suggest that a Milwaukee County judge obstructed the federal law officers' investigation.

As I say, cases are decided on evidence in court, not headlines -- ones garnered by any wanna be rockstar FBI head. Here's the NYT:

. . .Federal agents arrested a county judge in Milwaukee, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from the authorities. . . .


I do know that in Chicago occasionally, judges have allowed asylum seekers / migrants (who were being tracked by federal ICE agents, during Tangerine 1.0) . . . the able judges allowed the bailiffs to let the asylum-seekers slip out the back door at 26th and California, while the federal agent sat in court -- waiting for them to appear.

So, even if we accept that that is what happened here in Milwaukee, there is a strong argument that a judge has the right to police her own courtroom. And if the federal agents did not notify the bailiff that they wanted a hold for the particular detainee. . . the judge is perfectly free to grant them either furlough or bail -- especially while the ICE agents are out getting donuts(!). That is presumptively lawful.
