The judge said he had “absolutely no desire” to go down the road of holding government attorneys in contempt, but he gave a history lesson on when he has done so.

Fine DOJ $100,000 for every day they don't provide the complete unredacted files to Katy. We trust Katy to take care of survivors. We can't wait any longer for the perverts, Trafickers and enablers.

How does that help? DOJ fines are paid by taxpayers. It’s a bit of a closed circuit. Jailing/ fining individuals who fail to comply with court orders under contempt charges might have a bit of impact if they aren’t immediately bailed out by their friends in high places.

Money is the only language of the corrupt.

No story more true has ever been told. My only point is that the money must be extracted from the corrupt. Otherwise, fines mean nothing.

Oh, he's mildly perturbed, is he?
The truth Is Never Wrong · 2 · 1d ago
No surprise here. Obstruction, obstruction, obstruction on a grander scale than Roy Cohn could have ever taught to Trump.

I feel like the judge is really making himself look like a fool, despite the 🔥 comment about 'THIS TIME I REALLY MEAN IT!' Judge Sullivan should have held the DOJ in contempt the first moment they dicked around. The fact he has "absolutely no desire" to do to government attorneys what he would have
Aura · 1 · 1d ago
been GUARANTEED to do with anyone NOT government, shows he was an inappropriate judge to handle this case.
Popeye Jones · 2 · 1d ago
He is a fool, but he knows they won't comply with him either way. I think he's just trying to save face. It's pathetic.
Aura · 2 · 1d ago
Yea. The absolute least he could do if he wanted to save face without looking pathetic would be to just straight put them in a cell for contempt until the SCOTUS forces him to release them.
Popeye Jones · 2 · 1d ago
The real question is who would enforce it? US marshals who operate under the DOJ? And what if they just.. don't? It's a precarious position
Aura · 2 · 1d ago
The court has the authority to hire their own enforcers. They can literally hire and arm officers of the court who answer only and exclusively to the court.
Popeye Jones · 1 · 1d ago
Well, here's hoping, but it's not looking good so far
