Look up his bio. Look at his rulings. He is a liberal activist judge.

I wonder if his resignation has something to do with a certain criminal investigation heading his way.

Easier position to defend if he says I was a whistle blower and thats why I leaked to the New York Times.

Hmmm.

****

The following are from FReepers on earlier threads on this.

"Yes as you said this is the same biased Clintonoid judge who proclaimed that the military trials of captured terrorists at Guantanamo were illegal."

"If you Google him get ready for an eyeful and then some. The guy is a corrupt Clinton scumbag from way back."

"Maybe Robertson was forced out, maybe he did not "retire". Maybe he cut a deal to be allowed to resign by telling the JD all who are involved. Just wishful thinking on my part I suppose. Just seems odd that he would just say "I resign" within a matter of days of the President saying the Justice Dept. has procedures for looking into these matters and less than a week from when the NYSlimes started this garbage."

Just a thought ..... could he have been 'asked' to resign? Bush did say the other day the Justice Dept. had 'prodecures' to look into how these highly classified leaks came about."

Robertson is the federal judge who dismissed tax evasion charges against former Justice Department official and presidential friend Webster Hubbell, calling the indictment brought by Independent Counsel Ken Starr "the quintessential fishing expedition."

Judge: 527 Groups OK for Now ..... NewsMax Wires...... Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2004 ....... WASHINGTON –This is the same judge who denied a request to force the Federal Election Commission to act on complaints by President Bush's campaign against anti-Bush groups (527's) spending millions of dollars on ads in the presidential race. District Judge James Robertson told Bush's attorneys that he agreed that the FEC had moved at a ``glacial pace'' in handling complaints, but he added, ``That's the way Congress has set it up and apparently that's the way Congress likes it."
