That’s… THREE times, of lying by omission (in a week) — about the ability US attorneys to make a noisy withdrawal, when their clients intentionally violate federal court orders. Repeatedly.
I titled the original version of this post “Lies, damn lies, and then there’s… Scott Johnson.”
I rerun it now in full — since he and the Kelly lady (also a MN lawyer, apparently) refuse to accurately present the framing around the dangers of ICE / DHS holding on to a detainee’s papers (after a habeas grant) that establish the rights to be here.
Let’s drop them both in Moscow or Beijing, without papers… and see how long it takes — before they are in a Gulag or a reeducation camp.
Cheers, you racist losers.
[Original item:]
Now, twice this week — even after sitting in the well, and listening to not one, but two multi-hour federal District Court civil contempt hearings in Minneapolis (largely because… his friends are in danger of… the same civil contempt), Scott turns up falsely framing the whole narrative as a tempest in a teapot, because some “misplaced” prisoner property was not immediately returned on release, under issued writs of habeas corpus. [His prior lies, here.]
Scott conveniently never mentions that the “property” is not underwear or shoelaces. Or even watches or wallets.
No, the “property NOT returned“… is, in each case, the papers that prove the wrongly-detained person is here in the USA… LAWFULLY.
What a damn liar he is.
Imagine that Scott is traveling in Russia. Or China. Further imagine that the local authorities detain him for spitting on a sidewalk (something video evidence proves he DID NOT do). Now, he miraculously gets in front of a real judge — and with the US Consulate, is able to secure his release. But the KGB [or Chinese Secret Police] “releases” him, minus his US passport — despite an express order (from this entirely-mythical judge) to give him back his passport (so he can safely walk the streets to the American Embassy — and in further mythical story-telling, fly home).
Nope — he’s now subject to immediate re-arrest, on the street, for not being able to prove he’s in the country lawfully — without his papers. So right back to Siberia [or another hell-hole] he goes.
[I suspect he’d not style that “a lost shoe-laces” case.]
Yeah, Scott — that is what these cases are about.
The federal judges expressly ordered that these detainees are not to be re-arrested, but their ability to avoid being profiled and re-detained, and shoved off to El Paso without a hearing… all hinges on having their PAPERS.
You, son — are an a$$hole — and a wanna’-be brown-shirt.
These MAGA AUSAs have a clear choice: they can tell their lawless clients that they won’t participate in frauds on the courts — and withdraw their appearance. They can dare Trump to fire them.
They can also make a noisy withdrawal, and say their clients are refusing to obey court orders.
Then they are protected from Trump retaliation.
So — yes Scott… they CHOOSE to be subject to contempt. Idiot.
Shut it.
Powerline Lies...
