Originally published at: Trump Administration Takes Defiance In Abrego Garcia Case To A New Level - TPM – Talking Points Memo
The Trump administration is at it again. In its ongoing stonewalling of the district court judge overseeing the case of the mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump DOJ is now slow-rolling discovery by insisting on a tortured reading of court orders in the case, including from the Supreme Court.

Okay. Next election must include Reading Comprehension.

100%. This has his fingerprints all over it.
And the lawyers themselves are walking their way into sanctions and contempt through all this open defiance.

Two whole hours of deliberation. Which presumably included electing a foreperson and other basic figuring-out tasks.
Yeah, doesn’t sound like it was a particularly tough call. Sorry, Sarah. (Not really.)

95% confident that the Trumpistas are overplaying their hand in a way that is likely fatal for their whole deportation strategy.
My only worry is that I was also 95% certain Trump could never bear Clinton…

Clinton won the popular vote. The Electoral College was the problem.

It is well past time for some of these attorneys to be locked up.
Everyone, including the government and their attorneys, knows exactly what is happening here.
Everyone.
Time to get the US Marshals arresting people.
Now.
