...(The Judge) said the matter must be cleaned up by the end of July — or else...
Or else....what?
Or else Obama will get the same draconian treatment The Pantload got for lying in Federal Judge Susan Webber Wright's face - a cushy retirement, six-figure speaking engagements, a money-laundering foundation for his pals & family, respected elder Democrat statesman status.
You know, the usual.
“Top Secret Double Probation”.
I’ve followed this case since late last year.
There is a lot that a federal judge can do that would astonish most people.
Judge Hanen already expressed hesitancy to impose monetary sanctions against DOJ Attorneys who lied to him because in effect the penalties would be borne by the taxpayers and there’s no justice in that.
I will get to a very astonishing option of receivership but first want to write about timing and also the DOJ Attorneys who lied to the Judge.
I imagine the DOJ Attorneys are trembling over their careers. A disbarment order by Judge Hanen means their careers are over (their career trajectory is already on a downward arc) and there is nothing that Obama or anyone can do about it in terms of preserving their law degrees and careers. So disbarment is a big deal but not near as big a deal as receivership which I’ll get to in a moment.
The thing to keep in mind is the clock and the calendar which I will also write about in a moment. This case is about Obama’s lawlessness and his goal of getting millions and millions of illegals registered to vote and to vote democrat in the 2016 elections Thus, clock, calendar, timing of this court case is a strategic matter in tandem with the 2016 elections.
Consider a couple of things:
1) Obama’s voter registration form leaves off a checkbox for declaring citizenship status. We all know that only citizens are legally allowed to vote, right?
2) It was reported by a member of Congress (in March I think it was) that there is a loophole in Obama’s executive amnesty forms in that an illegal may be coached to say that he or she has been in the USA for longer than 5 years so that they can claim immediate citizenship eligibility thereby appearing legal for registering to vote.
Between loopholes and deficient federal voter forms, Obama intends to sign up as many illegals as possible to vote democrat. We want therefore that the federal courts take their time to drag this case out until after the November 2016 elections so that massive voter fraud is restrained on this particular front.
As to the concept of receivership, I saw a press report (I am not able to find the link) where DHS Director Jeh Johnson remarked after it was discovered that more than 2000 (and possibly much more than that) DACA/DAPA applications were processed and approved after the court’s order was in effect (a clear violation of the order) words to the effect “it is not necessary that the Department be put under compliance by the court” because he claimed that that his Department was investigating and would get to the bottom of how the violation of the court order occurred. His remark left me thinking that in his communications with Judge Hanen’s Federal Court that he was told that ‘receivership’ was a possible part of sanctions.
What is ‘receivership’ and can a court takeover a government agency or department? Yes. Here is a recent example:
Basically a receivership is a temporary arrangement whereby a Judge’s investigators or in this case US Marshals take over command of a department to run an investigation and monitor its performance. The department personnel all report to the ‘Court’s Master’. It’s a big deal.
Judge Hanen, as a federal judge can rain hell down upon anyone or any organization that crosses him. The takeaway is you do not want to mess with a federal judge ever. He has all tools at his disposal for upholding the law. This is why the DOJ attorneys who lied to him appear to be trembling.
What possibly restrains Judge Hanen now is polity towards the federal appeals court where they are getting ready to start hearings in about a week on the merits of the preliminary injunction. He’s giving a chance for that proceeding to open in orderly fashion without rocking the boat with possible receivership sanctions. And we want both he and the appellate justices to run out the clock as long as possible.
Now where some here are getting the attitude with remarks like “or else what?”, “a sternly worded letter?” is I believe from frustration from watching over the years the lame and weak performance of ‘Fast and Furious’, ‘Benghazi’ and the IRS investigations. Mark Levin has criticized those investigations for how they were set up. In my opinion a special prosecutor should have been appointed early but apparently republicans in Congress thought having a special prosecutor would lose them control over the process. Well, they seemed to have bungled most of it and gotten nowhere despite evidence of a lot of wrong doing. It is both frustrating and embarrassing and I hold Boehner responsible. To me he is a dangerous tool of the Left.
