Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #emilbove, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Sen #DickDurbin from #Illinois gave a pointed opening statement prior to #PamBondi’s hearing, calling the #DOJ under her leadership a disgrace.

    Bondi just straight up lied in her opening statement saying, “we have never defied a court order.”

    Outrageous.

    I’m old enough to remember the whistleblower who reported #EmilBove literally telling DOJ attorneys that they would need to tell the #judiciary “fuck you”.

  2. Urge your legislators to VOTE NO on confirming Emil Bove, who would overturn laws to accommodate Trump!

  3. Judge Ho brings up a letter sent by #EricAdams’s defense team to #DOJ officials earlier this month. The letter makes many of the arguments that eventually appeared in #EmilBove’s order to prosecutors seeking to #dismiss the case, &, when they didn’t obey him, the dismissal motion to which he signed his name. Alex Spiro, one of Adams’s lawyers, acknowledges that the government motion echoes arguments he has made for months.

  4. Judge Ho established that the government’s motion to #dismiss is not predicated on the strength of the case. #EmilBove agreed that that’s correct, & the judge asked him for a high-level explanation of the rationale behind the motion. Bove said that the case has “appearances of impropriety” & represents an abuse of the #criminal justice system.

    Bove says that there are several ongoing investigations at the #DOJ in which the purpose of the #EricAdams prosecution is being scrutinized.
