The Democrat Resistance "judge" has been a BUSY little beaver.

James Emanuel Boasberg is a United States District Judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, also serving as the Presiding Judge of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [appointed by John Roberts, the Deep State's guy on SCOTUS]

Judge James E. Boasberg ruled Friday against making public former FBI Director James Comey’s seven memos describing his conversations with President Donald Trump. And by doing so, the jurist protected — at least for now — a key potential witness in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of allegations of collusions between the president’s 2016 campaign and agents of the Russian government.

FISA court "mistakenly" says Fusion GPS was digging up dirt on Hillary Clinton, not Trump
March 2020
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3822134/posts

A ruling by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Wednesday mistakenly said Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm which hired British ex-spy Christopher Steele in 2016, was looking for dirt on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rather than on then-candidate Donald Trump.

The court fixed the glaring error only after the Washington Examiner brought it to its attention.

Judge James Boasberg, the court’s presiding judge, cited the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications against former Trump campaign associate Carter Page in a Wednesday opinion and, in the midst of pointing out the multitude of flaws, omissions, and factual errors in the electronic surveillance filings uncovered by the Justice Department’s watchdog, he made a mistake himself.

Worked at the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals too. He looks like a whack job too, so he is perfect for the part.

On June 17, 2010, President Barack Obama formally nominated Boasberg to the District Court for the District of Columbia.
