The man who spearheaded the administration’s effort to remake the Department of Justice into Trump’s ideal is up for a hearing Tuesday morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee over his nomination to be a federal appeals court judge.
Emil Bove is a former Manhattan federal prosecutor who, until January, was a personal lawyer to President Trump in his criminal cases. He has served in various senior roles in the first months of the Trump DOJ, including associate deputy attorney general. Trump nominated Bove to a position on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
We expect much about his DOJ tenure to come up at the hearing. Follow along below.
Bove looks even more like Nosferatu than S. Miller does.
Is there anyone that doesn’t think this hearing is only because they have to have one and this guy is already pretty much confirmed? Isn’t this all just for show when no one will stand up to this authoritarian action?
It won’t matter that the guy has said outrageous things about ignoring the law, so let’s put him in charge of enforcing what he has explicitly said he will ignore.
Has Congress said no to any of the nominations to date?
I know it is shallow to judge someone by their looks, but what the hell, his countenance exudes sinister and diabolical motivations.
You might even say, “Evil”?
I agree…
Hardly. I’m putting money on them confirming the bastard. The GQP has no shame and they are in thrall to Mango Mussolini.
