This is NOT REALLY funny ….
But you could smile….
As Trump tries to get people who HAVE got him?
He runs into the same things he doesn’t care about….
‘The RULES’…..
Another Federal Judge casts doubts on a Trump Justice Department lawyer , seemingly unqualified, sent on a ‘renege ‘ mission ….
The hearing before the judge was about what Trump’s would do if the judge threw the attorney off the case in ANY way….
ALBANY, New York — A federal judge suggested Thursday that she may disqualify a Trump loyalist as the top federal prosecutor in the Albany region, a move that would extend a string of losses in the Trump administration’s gambit to circumvent the Senate confirmation process to install U.S. attorneys.
During oral arguments, U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield, appointed by President Barack Obama, appeared poised not only to toss the prosecutor, John Sarcone III, from the top job, but also from other posts that might allow him to serve in the same capacity.
“The only remedy, if one found an improper appointment, that would cure that would be disqualifying him,” Schofield said. “If I were to find that he was not properly acting as a U.S. attorney, leaving him as first assistant and the office vacant wouldn’t accomplish much.”
The legal fight stems from an effort by New York Attorney General Letitia James to quash a pair of subpoenas Sarcone’s office issued earlier this year, related to civil cases she brought against Trump and the National Rifle Association. James argued the subpoenas are invalid because Sarcone wasn’t legally appointed.
Sarcone, a Republican lawyer who ran for office unsuccessfully several times, had no apparent prosecutorial experience when he was appointed as a temporary U.S. attorney. He had a tumultuous start to his tenure that included listing as his home address a location that was actually a boarded-up building on a police affidavit.
When Sarcone’s 120-day interim posting expired, district judges in northern New York declined to appoint him to continue in the job, nor did they select a substitute — they simply didn’t appoint anyone. Attorney General Pam Bondi then appointed Sarcone as a “special attorney” with an “indefinite” term so that he could return to the job….
…
Schofield, however, spent most of the hearing discussing what the remedies might be if she disqualified Sarcone.
It wasn’t clear, though, that any disqualification of Sarcone would doom the subpoenas James is fighting….
