Boasberg said in April that the Trump administration appeared to have acted "in bad faith" when it hurriedly assembled three deportation flights on March 15 at the same time that he was conducting emergency court proceedings to assess the legality of the effort.
"Today at my direction, @TheJusticeDept filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration," Bondi said, without specifying which comments was she referring to.

(94,672 posts)...the judge was speaking about the administration in the context of THEIR misconduct.
THIS president and this republican party believe they are above the law and can talk down to a co-equal branch of government exercising their duty to uphold the laws of the country.
Subverting those laws doesn't render this administration invoilable or immune from criticism from courts, especially when it relates to their illegal conduct.
