    I love how they operate under the assumption a judge shouldn't ever be arrested.

    Hard to believe anyone would find fault with these two judges being arrested. But then one realizes there are tofu-eating wokerati progressivites stumbling around this country.

    The arrest of a judge is no small matter. For Patel to move on this judge, it would have necessitated a brazen act which fell outside of the judge's official duties and/or a clear absence of all jurisdiction. Rest assured, Patel and the DOJ had their i's and t's on this before they arrested her. Judges are given near blanket immunity from the outset. For this to hold up in court, it had to be brazen, blatant and outside. It is next to impossible to imagine a scenario where Patel, the FBI and DOJ move on a judge like this and it not be the slam dunk of all slam dunks.

    I believe this is the point the Trump Admin is trying to make. They do not have the capacity to deport millions of illegal immigrants so they are hoping to scare most of them into self deporting. The strange things is the likely most effective thing they could do to make this happen is forcing every employer to use E-Verify but that has not happened.

    Too many donors would be impacted.

    Historically you would be correct. AUSA’s have high win rates not primarily due to their ability but selecting cases they can win; they often choose not to prosecute or allow DAs take difficult cases where there is overlapping jurisdiction. It’s hard to say right now whether this same MO applies to this administration and its cabinet. I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see them get over their skis.

    Yeah, all this proves is that if you combine TDS with wild speculation, anything is plausible. But over here in the real world, Bondi and Patel almost certainly had their ducks in a row before doing something like this.

    Seeing as this Admin deported an illegal immigrant to El Salvador when he had a deportation order that said he could be deported to anywhere but El Salvador, I think the burden of proof is on the Admin at this point.

    Given the history of the Trump boys there's a good chance that they're lying or have made some serious mistake. We'll wait and see what happens
