... Bove, a former member of President Donald Trump's criminal defense team in his fraud case in New York, is the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General of the United States. Trump nominated him for Third Circuit Court of Appeals judge in Philadelphia.

The second whistleblower, who is not named, is a career Department of Justice attorney and is represented by Whistleblower Aid, a non-profit legal organization that helps public- and private-sector workers report and expose wrongdoing. They disclosed evidence to the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General that corroborates the first whistleblower's claims that Bove and other senior DOJ officials were "actively and deliberately undermining the rule of law," Whistleblower Aid said. ...

Bove is exactly what a bum like Trump is looking for in a personal federal judge.
In fact, if he gets the nod he might well end up on the Supreme Court.

And now a third whistle-blower ...

Judiciary Democrats demand probe after third Bove whistleblower
www.politico.com

... Two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee want the Justice Department's top watchdog to probe allegations against a contentious judicial nominee.

Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) sent a letter Tuesday to William Blier, DOJ's acting inspector general, asking if his office is, or already has, conducted an investigation related to Emil Bove, whom President Donald Trump has nominated to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.

Bove has been dogged by accusations that he suggested defying court orders that could restrain the administration's aggressive immigration and deportation agenda. Staff for Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) met Monday with lawyers for a new whistleblower, the third person to have publicly emerged questioning Bove's fitness for the bench.

In the Tuesday letter obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Schiff and Booker said it is "imperative" that the Senate have "full knowledge" before taking a final vote on Bove, who has denied allegations of wrongdoing. ...

Republicans have the numbers. There's not stopping them.

This entire process is partisan and ridiculous.

Yup.

Like the many (most? nearly all?) other nominees by Pres Trump that were rubber-stamped by the Republican-controlled Senate, this nominee does not seem to have any manner of qualification for the position, aside from his apparent willingness to bend the knee(s) to keep Pres Trump happy.
