       #EmilBove’s nomination for the #3rdCircuit Court of Appeals has come under intense scrutiny after a fired #DOJ lawyer claimed in a complaint filed Tuesday that Bove used an expletive when he said during a meeting that the #Trump admin might need to ignore #judicial commands. Bove pushed back against suggestions from #Democrats that the #whistleblower’s claims make him #unfit for the federal bench.#law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Constitution

       “I have never advised a Department of Justice attorney to violate a court order,” #EmilBove told the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte. He added, “I don’t think there’s any validity to the suggestion that that #whistleblower complaint filed yesterday calls into question my qualifications to serve as a circuit #judge.”#law #SeparationOfPowers #Constitution #Trump #felon47

       #EmilBove, a fmr #criminal defense attorney for #Trump, has been at the forefront of some of the most contentious #DOJ actions since Trump’s return to the WH, including the dismissal of the #corruption case against #NYC Mayor #EricAdams. He also accused FBI ofcls of “insubordination” for refusing to hand over names of agents who investigated the #insurrection & ordered the firings of a group of prosecutors involved in the #Jan6 criminal cases.#law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Constitution

       #EmilBove …[told] lawmakers he understands some of his decisions “have generated controversy.” But Bove said he has been inaccurately portrayed as #Trump’s “henchman” & “enforcer” at the department.…A former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, Bove was on Trump’s legal team during his NY fraudulent business records & 2016 election interference trial & defended Trump in the 2 federal criminal cases brought by the #DOJ.#law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Constitution

       If confirmed by the #Senate, #EmilBove will serve on the #3rdCircuit Court of Appeals, which hears cases from Delaware, New Jersey & Pennsylvania.#Democrats said Bove has proven himself himself unfit for the #LifetimeAppointment during his short tenure at the #DOJ, accusing him of abusing his power & putting his loyalties to #Trump above all else.#law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Constitution

       “Bove has led the effort to weaponize the Department of Justice against the president’s enemies,”said Sen #DickDurbin, the top #Democrat on the cmte. “Having earned his stripes as a loyalist to this president, he’s been rewarded with this lifetime nomination.”Bove’s hearing came a day after the filing of the #whistleblower complaint from a fmr #DOJ lawyer who was fired in April after conceding in court that #KilmarAbregoGarcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to an #ElSalvador prison

       …#EmilBove also faced sharp questions about his ordering the dismissal of #EricAdams’ corruption case, which led to the resignation of a top prosecutor in New York & several other #DOJ officials. #DanielleSassoon, then-interim #USattorney for the #SDNY, cited her objections to what she called a political “#QuidProQuo” with Adams’ legal team for the mayor to enforce #Trump’s #immigration policies only if he was freed from the looming prosecution.#law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #Constitution
