"To the extent there remain any disputes as to compliance, the parties shall identify agency officials, employees or other witnesses who can testify under oath about those disputes."

Summary

Federal Judge Amir Ali sharply criticized the Trump administration during a Tuesday hearing for failing to comply with his 12-day-old restraining order to unfreeze USAID contract funding.

“I don’t know why I can’t get a straight answer from you,” the judge demanded, asking if funds had been unfrozen. The government lawyer responded: “I’m not in a position to answer that.”

Ali ordered USAID to pay all invoices for work performed before February 13 by midnight tomorrow and required the administration to identify officials who can testify under oath about compliance disputes.

    the Supreme Court gave Trump all but blanket immunity

    Even “better,” they gave blanket immunity to a person who has the power to give blanket immunity for federal crimes. Anything the SCROTUS is willing to consider an “official act” by the president carries no consequences whatsoever for him OR anyone doing his bidding.

      The state should just wrap all federal buildings in their state with crime scene tape and say it’s a state crime to cross it. 10 years in prison no exception without permission to cross!
