NEW: Anti-Trump Judge’s Russiagate Ruling Is Under The Microscope

U.S. District Judge Jeb Boasberg, an Obama appointee who has made a number of controversial anti-Trump rulings after explicitly bragging about thwarting the president’s agenda, is under the microscope after his role in the Russian collusion hoax is under focus.

Boasberg generated national headlines earlier this year when he attempted to block President Trump from invoking a seldom-used executive privilege to deport illegal alien gang members. The judge attempted to stop the administration from deporting members of the infamous Venezuela-based Tren de Aragua street gang to El Salvador by claiming that Trump had no authority to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, which gives the federal government expanded powers to deport illegal aliens who belong to foreign criminal or terrorist organizations.

The judge ruled that the administration must turn around planes that were already in the air, something the administration argued was impossible. He then attempted to hold Trump officials in contempt for defying the controversial order.

Boasberg — who laid out his intentions to challenge the Trump Administration at a judicial conference back in March — was ultimately overruled by the Supreme Court.

Breitbart News editor Alex Marlow recently called for Boasberg to be formally investigated over his role in the Russian collusion investigation in his book, “Breaking The Law: Exposing The Weaponization Of America’s Legal System Against Donald Trump.”

While presiding over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court, Judge Boasberg ruled that former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty to altering an email when submitting a FISA application, should not be sentenced to a prison term for his actions.

Clinesmith admitted that he tampered with evidence in order to claim that former Trump aide Carter Page was “not a source” for the CIA despite the fact that he had been. “Clinesmith’s forgery extended the FBI’s unlawful and unethical surveillance of the Trump campaign. Boasberg’s decision to let Clinesmith skate is lawfare and Trump Derangement Syndrome at the same time,” Marlow wrote.

He went on to argue that an investigation of the “seemingly impossible ruling” could reveal important details about how the conspiracy to falsely claim Trump was aided by the Russian government affected the U.S. legal system.

Boasberg was “randomly” selected to four high-profile cases against the Trump Administration in the early weeks of the president’s second term. In one instance, Boasberg provided over a high-profile lawsuit alleging that senior Trump officials violated the federal records act by using the encrypted messaging app Signal.

“Judge Boasberg, who is blatantly predisposed to ruling against the president of the United States, has had an outsized amount of ‘Trump cases’ assigned to him,” Marlow wrote. “This reveals that there is not equal justice under the law in America at this time. The Russiagate and lawfare investigations have begun, and Boasberg is clearly a party to both injustices against President Trump. It is time to hold him to account.”
