30. You don't mess with the Chief Judge of the DC District. This Bru guy said what Scott Perry likely had been thinking.

James Boasberg, who took over from Beryl Howell, ordered Scott Perry to turn over more than 2,005 messages sought by the Garland DOJ. The Garland DOJ had seized Perry's phone in August, 2022 to obtain messages related to the 2020 election in Pennsylvania and former Vice President Mike Pence’s role in presiding over the Jan. 6, 2021, counting of Electoral College votes, according to Boasberg’s opinion. Boasberg, who had taken over the case from Howell, ordered the messages turned over by December 27 to the newly appointed Special Counsel, Jack Smith.

Boasberg ruled that the messages “may bear a relationship to legislative proceedings insofar as they touch on the certification vote, they are neither ‘integral’ nor ‘essential’ to Perry’s participation in those proceedings because they pertain only to Vice President Pence’s role,” Boasberg wrote.
