Friend,

This is breaking – and it should end Emil Bove’s nomination on the spot.

According to a whistleblower complaint reported by The New York Times,
Emil Bove – Trump’s former personal lawyer and nominee to the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals – told DOJ colleagues he was willing to ignore
court orders to carry out Trump’s deportation agenda. He even suggested
they tell the courts, quote, “f--- you.”

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘f--k
you’ and ignore any such order,” according to the account. “Mr. Reuveni
perceived that others in the room looked stunned, and he observed
awkward, nervous glances among people in the room. Silence overtook the
room.”^[ [link removed] ]

That alone should disqualify Bove for a position as a federal judge: A
nominee who openly discussed defying the rule of law to serve Trump’s
political agenda.

This isn’t coming from just one source. The Wall Street Journal editorial
board – no liberal watchdog – has also raised serious concerns about
Bove’s record – especially his corrupt mishandling of the Eric Adams
prosecution and the mass resignations his corruption triggered at DOJ.^[ [link removed] ]

[1]Add your name to tell the Senate: reject Emil Bove’s nomination! >>

Bove fired January 6 prosecutors. Pressured DOJ to drop charges for
political gain. Mistreated colleagues so badly leadership tried to demote
him from his management role. And now? He’s been exposed for plotting to
ignore the courts altogether.

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing is tomorrow. Let’s make sure they
know exactly who Emil Bove is – and why he must be stopped.

Thank you for your advocacy.

----[previous message]----

Friend,

Next week, Emil Bove – President Trump’s former personal criminal defense
lawyer – will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee as the latest
nominee for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t a routine confirmation. It’s part of Trump’s
plan to pack the courts with loyalists who will help him stay in power,
break the law, and strip away our rights. Bove isn’t being nominated to
uphold the Constitution – he’s being sent to the bench to serve Trump.

Bove’s record is jaw-dropping:

* He fired dozens of January 6 prosecutors and FBI agents for doing
their jobs.
* He ordered the corrupt dismissal of a federal bribery case against New
York Mayor Eric Adams – leading to the largest mass resignation of
federal prosecutors in decades.
* He was the subject of an internal investigation at U.S. Attorney’s
Office for the Southern District of New York for belittling
colleagues, holding grudges, and exhibiting a short temper – behavior
so serious it led to a recommendation that he be removed from
leadership.

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate: Emil Bove has no place on the federal bench! >>

Even Senator Thom Tillis – a conservative Republican – said January 6 is a
red line when it comes to Trump’s nominations. That was his reason for
opposing Ed Martin. So what about Bove, who purged January 6
investigators? If Tillis meant what he said, he should vote no on Bove –
and so should every senator.

This nomination is so corrupt that even top conservatives like Ed Whelan
and longtime Federalist Society members are speaking out. Why? Because
they see what this really is: a loyalty test. Bove wasn’t picked for his
qualifications. He was picked to protect Trump.

[ [link removed] ]We can’t let Trump fill the courts with loyalists who will help him
dismantle democracy. Add your name now. >>

If this nomination goes through, it sends a chilling message: the courts
belong to Donald Trump and the law is whatever he says it is. We can’t let
that become the new normal.

Thanks for taking action,

People For the American Way
