"DOJ moves to boot federal judge from Perkins Coie case"

Next move for the regime: if a doesn't rule in your favor, use the power of the Federal Government to seek their removal from cases, which petition then justifies appealing anything that comes from such cases.

I suspect of who don't do as they're told by the executive branch, using Trump's captive , will be next.

Continued thread

#Trump alluded to unfounded, debunked claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. He repeated a baseless theory that Democrats were encouraging undocumented immigrants to vote illegally, misrepresented gender-affirming surgeries for transgender people & revived old grievances about the investigation of the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III & his 2 #impeachments that he had not been asked about.

#Trump's latest position—that the #Senate's failure to #convict his #impeachments trigger #doubleJeopardy in his #criminal cases—is going nowhere. Double-jeopardy only applies to #criminal #proceedings. #Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding, or even a #legal proceeding. Impeachment is a #political process. Trump is just making shit up, as usual. But it's troubling to see his #lawyers sign on to such rubbish. Unlike Trump, they know better.

Benzinga · Trump Attempts To Invoke Presidential Immunity Against 2020 Election Charges By Bibhu Pattnaik

Trump’s impeachments? They never happened.

His attempt to extort the Ukrainian president? Erased.

Inciting an insurrection? Attempting to overturn the election? Deleted.

This, apparently, is the #new #hotness in the GOP.

Alas for Kevin McCarthy, #expunging #impeachments is not really a thing in the law or the constitution.

"The reality of it is, you're not -- you can't expunge the impeachment," explained former RNC chairman Michael Steele. “You can take it out of the official Congressional Record, but it doesn't change #history, it doesn't change what happened. It doesn't change the #fact that you and a lot of Republicans are on the record during that time talking about the very thing you said never happened and didn't exist and they weren't saying it didn't happen and it didn't exist."
