Interesting statement from Judge ABJ about reason for Stone's attempt to have her disqualified

"...nothing more than an attempt to use the Court's docket to disseminate a statement for public consumption that has the words "judge" and "biased" in it."

That's the Trumper's ground game right there. Everything they do is to get phrases out there for dissemination (like, via Faux News).

Recall Elise Stefanik's "what is it, now??" exclamation to Chairman Schiff, when it was the *first* time he had to interrupt her (because she *knowingly* broke a rule of the hearing).

And Martha McSally's "Manu, you liberal hack" nonsense when he asked the *mildest* of questions about how she would vote on an impeachment trial motion.

It's all to get soundbites on conservative and social media. No substance or fact, just a blinding gaslight everywhere you look.

1. ABJ is a close friend of a close friend

And through my friend, I have expressed my support (and DU's) of her courage and ethical conduct.

My friend has passed on all of these good wishes and reported back to me that ABJ is most appreciative!

6. Very cool! She's really a fair judge.

She should've sent Stone to jail for contempt numerous times but didn't. *That's judicial restraint!*
