Judge Boasberg authorized secret spying on Congress, now refusing to testify.

LAWFARE: Judge Boasberg authorized secret spying on Congress and is now refusing to testify. The Senate is now holding hearings to discuss his possible impeachment. He thinks he IS the law.

After revelations that Judge James Boasberg approved clandestine subpoenas and nondisclosure orders targeting congressional Republicans, the Senate demanded his testimony. Boasberg refused, claiming he did not need to answer to the legislative branch he secretly spied on. Senators will now hold hearings on impeachment proceedings for Boasberg and possibly others involved in the unlawful surveillance of elected officials. Lawmakers say Boasberg’s arrogance and defiance show he believes he is beyond accountability, the hallmark of a rogue judge.
