Actually this Judge is good, even though Obama Judge. He ruled favorably for Trump on being forced to release tax returns via a lawsuit. He dismissed the lawsuit. He also ordered 14,000 emails from Hillary to be released as requested by Judicial watch.

On February 7, 2014 Chief Justice John G. Roberts announced that he would appoint Boasberg to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a term starting May 18, 2014 to a seat being vacated by Reggie Walton. His term began May 18, 2014.

Hillary Clinton emails

On August 22, 2016, Boasberg ordered the release of over 14,000 emails found in the United States Department of State correspondence of Hillary Clinton by the FBI during an investigation of Clinton’s private server.[19] These emails were requested by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group, because the FBI has indicated that emails were work-related and not entirely private as Clinton had previously said.[19]

Trump tax returns

On August 18, 2017, Boasberg dismissed a lawsuit from the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), which had sued the IRS under FOIA seeking President Donald Trump’s personal tax returns from 2010 to the present to be released. Boasberg concluded that because personal tax returns are confidential, they may only be obtained either by permission from Trump himself or if Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation signed off to allow the disclosure.[20]

Perhaps, but a conservative judge could have (should have) been chosen instead. Roberts is definitely playing for the wrong team.
