DOJ Whistleblower Tears Into Trump Goon's 'F*** You' Order

A Department of Justice whistleblower blasted President Donald Trump’s legal enforcer Emil Bove for telling federal prosecutors they might need to say “f--- you” and ignore federal court orders they didn’t like.

Bove—who was previously Trump’s criminal defense attorney—was serving as the DOJ’s third-highest ranking official when he called a meeting with prosecutors on March 14 to tell them that Trump would be invoking the Alien Enemies Act, the DOJ’s former immigration chief Erez Reuveni told 60 Minutes.

The 200-year-old law allows the president to rapidly expel citizens of countries with which the U.S. is at war. The president planned to deport about 250 Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT mega prison even though war hadn’t been declared, and Bove was expecting legal pushback.

During the meeting Bove emphasized that those planes needed “to take off, no matter what,” Reuveni told 60 Minutes.

“Then after a pause, he also told all in attendance: And if some court should issue an order preventing that, we may have to consider telling that court, ‘F--- you,’” he said.

The international community and the Democratic Party should be meeting to discuss how and when the hand over of these criminals will take place on January 21, 2029. Start with Miller and then go down the list.
