Judge Boasberg first tried to persuade Chief Justice Roberts and other federal judges that the Trump Administration would not follow court orders, despite having no basis for his belief. Then he acted on his baseless belief again and again in litigation over which he was presiding.
Judge Boasberg violated the Canons of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, including the requirement that he “promote public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.” Today, at the direction of the Attorney General, DOJ filed a judicial misconduct complaint against him.
Federal judges often complain about the decline of public trust in the judiciary. But if the judiciary simply ignores improper conduct like Judge Boasberg’s, it will have itself to blame when the public stops trusting it.

These comments have undermined the integrity of the judiciary, and we will…
The @FDRLST reporting gets results. Our senior legal correspondent @ProfMJCleveland broke the explosive news about Judge Boasberg's inappropriate comments at the Judicial Conference, which led to this complaint. https://t.co/Uv1GuRscov
