    BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵

    Bove, Trump’s former personal defense attorney, has been nominated for a position on the court of appeals. While at DOJ, he worked to reshape the department to carry out the president’s dirty work. To dismiss cases against his allies and take aim at his enemies list. A purely political – and decidedly partisan – pick. politico.com/news/2025/05/2…

    Then, former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni blew the whistle, sharing that Bove told DOJ attorneys to consider telling the courts ‘f**k you’” if they ordered a halt to any of his deportation efforts. nytimes.com/2025/06/24/us/…

    Republicans discounted Reuveni's detailed complaint. They tried to cast doubt on it. Then Reuveni provided extensive emails, documents, and text messages to the committee that backed up what he said.

    “I think it would be incredibly dangerous for someone like that to have a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge." The latest whistleblower's words, not mine. I agree.

    What will come out next about Bove? That's precisely the problem with this disaster of a nominee. And why Senate Republicans are rushing through his nomination. Before more disqualifying information can come out.
