Karoline Leavitt Refuses to Rule Out Arrest of Supreme Court Judges

(This should make John Roberts sleep well tonight)

https://www.yahoo.com/news/karoline-leavitt-refuses-rule-arrest-144039654.html

(snip)
The Trump administration is open to arresting Supreme Court judges, as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told it on Monday morning.

“You guys arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit judge for allegedly helping illegal immigrants get away,” Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Leavitt. “As you guys look at other judges, would you ever arrest somebody higher up on the judicial food chain, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?”

“That’s a hypothetical question, again I defer you to the Department of Justice for individuals that they are looking at or individual cases. But let’s be clear about what this judge did: She obstructed federal law enforcement who were looking for an illegal alien in her courthouse. She showed that illegal alien the door to evade law enforcement officials. That is a clear-cut case of obstruction,” Leavitt replied.

“And so anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials from doing their jobs is putting theirselvses at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely.”

It wasn't about that specific judge. It's mob tactics.

tRump hires only the best of the worst MAGAT hangers on. When all of this is over, I hope there are a lot of just investigations and convictions for the naked criminal acts being committed by these bozos. Musk, Miller, Hegseth, Homan, etc. etc...
