Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino gave nearly seven hours of clipped, defensive, and evasive answers about his unit’s chaotic Chicago mission, according to newly released court documents.

U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis, 56, last week torched Bovino’s credibility in a 233-page opinion on the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, writing that he “appeared evasive… either providing ‘cute’ responses… or outright lying.” Her order—now stayed by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals—details a video that, she said, flatly contradicts agency narratives about violent mobs justifying force.

      It still passes the buck to the most pivotal person as far as pursuing cases goes. Absolutely worth it. Once we do that “it essentially takes fucking nothing aside from the bare minimum morality and arguably mandatory” thing, we can stack evidence against her and eventually get her for all of the damage she’s done and lives she’s ruined.

      It’s absolutely insane to me that these people are essentially sacrificing themselves to save her. All it takes is having a spine, all the hard work has been done over centuries.

      Once we have majority leadership we absolutely have to make a law dubbed ACAB (Actual checks and balances) that way we’re not fucking appointing foxes to run hen houses or electing and keeping pedophiles to run child raping rings and such. You know, bare minimum anything.

      Every single time I talk about anything in this realm I feel like a crazy person just describing the current state of it without any kind of solution. Just stating easily proven facts makes me feel like a fucking lunatic.
