Good day all. It’s no secret that the Obama and Biden judges have been conspiring to thwart the will of the voters and the Trump administration. Many have been slapped down, in some cases repeatedly, by the Supreme Court. Now we have one who appears to have a definite conflict of interest.
One of the things that the Trump Administration has been doing is repairs to many federal buildings and monuments that have been neglected for years. One of these is is the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The building is, apparently, structurally unsound. President Trump made the decision to close the center while repairs and refurbishing was done. President Trump also put his name on the building.
This set off the Usual Suspects on the Left. They promptly went to one of their pet Obama judges to “Stop Trump!” The judge, Judge Christopher Cooper, issued an order to remove President Trump’s name from the building. Now it looks like he has a serious conflict of interest and should have recused himself from the case. Here are the details from Fox News:
The Obama-appointed judge who ordered President Donald Trump‘s name removed from the Kennedy Center is married to an attorney who has represented a former anti-Trump FBI lawyer, served as counsel to the House Jan. 6 committee and currently represents former President Joe Biden — relationships that Trump blasted as clear conflicts of interest following the ruling.
Trump claimed in a heated Truth Social post that U.S. District Court of D.C. Judge Christopher Cooper’s wife, Amy Jeffress, a former Obama-era Justice Department attorney turned top lawyer for Trump critics, encouraged her husband to reject Trump’s Kennedy Center renovation plans and remove his name from the building.
He pointed to Jeffress’ past and current clients, which include some of his most prominent critics, as evidence that she is “a Radical Left Democrat” who is influencing her husband to rule against him.
“Trump Hating Judge wants to keep it open because his wife probably told him to do so!” Trump wrote of Cooper, referring to his rejection of Trump’s plans to close the Kennedy Center for two years for renovations.
If this is accurate, then this judge’s actions rise to the level of judicial misconduct. It’s also pretty blatant judicial overreach, but that’s been the Standard Operating Procedure for all of the Deep State judges for years.
Cooper issued his ruling on May 29, finding that the Kennedy Center board exceeded its legal authority when it voted to rename the institution to include Trump’s name. He ruled that only Congress can change the institution’s name based on the Kennedy Center’s founding statute, which makes clear that the venue is dedicated to President John F. Kennedy.
I actually looked up the statute this Stage IV TDS sufferer was referring to. The stature is Public Law 88-260 (78 Stat. 4). I’ve been reading through it and you can see where they put it in the legislation. However, I don’t see anything that states only Congress can make the name change. Regarding the plan to shut down the center for repairs and improvements, that is definitely overreach and should be appealed. From what I’ve read, that building is not safe.
Trump also alleged Jeffress “doesn’t use the ‘Cooper’ name because they, as a couple, don’t want people to know that she has a Conflict of Interest with an important Judge.”
There are a number of reasons why woman might not take their husbands name these days. They were married in 1999, which was years prior to his appointment to the bench. However, that doesn’t take away from the appearance of impropriety with regards to his wife’s legal career.
The president pointed to Jeffress’ professional background, which included serving as a counselor to Attorney General Eric Holder during the Obama administration.
As I recall, by the Time President Trump announced his candidacy, Holder had left the Obama regime.
Trump and his allies have accused the Obama administration of politicizing intelligence about Russian interference in the 2016 election and promoting allegations of ties between Trump’s campaign and the Kremlin. The FBI named its investigation into Russia’s alleged ties to Trump’s campaign Crossfire Hurricane.
That accusation is proving out to the point that we may, finally, see criminal charges being brought.
Thousands of text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok, a senior investigator on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe, and his then-lover Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and adviser to Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, became public in 2018.
The only reason those people aren’t in prison right now is Joe Biden.
Jeffress represented Page during congressional scrutiny of the FBI’s handling of its investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for official State Department business. Page was not involved in the Clinton email investigation itself.
Years later, Jeffress served as outside counsel to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, advising members on legal issues involving evidence, witness testimony and executive privilege claims. The committee examined the causes of the riot, efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and Trump’s actions leading up to the attack.
I won’t bother going over the J6 committee. We all know it was nothing more than a “Kangaroo Court” designed to protect Nancy Pelosi and to Get Trump. That committee was so corrupt that all the members were provided Biden Autopen pardons to protect them from a well deserved stay in Club Fed.
The criticism facing Cooper is not the first time he has been accused by Trump or his allies of having a potential conflict of interest. Cooper previously drew scrutiny during Special Counsel John Durham’s prosecution of former Clinton campaign-linked attorney Michael Sussmann, with critics arguing that he should have recused himself because his wife, attorney Amy Jeffress, represented former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, a figure tied to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Even then they knew that Cooper was conflicted.
The Sussmann case stemmed from Durham’s probe into the origins of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Prosecutors alleged that Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not acting on behalf of any clients when he presented allegations about a purported communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank during the 2016 election. Cooper rejected Sussmann’s effort to dismiss the case before trial and allowed Durham’s prosecution to proceed, but a jury ultimately acquitted Sussmann in May 2022 after a two-week trial overseen by Cooper.
Obviously, Cooper fully intended to put Sussmann in jail, but he ran into a problem. An honest jury who saw through the lies of the FBI and DoJ. We have seen a lot of this from the Obama and Biden judges. By far the most egregious violations of civil and constitutional rights by these judges were all the people rounded up by the DoJ regarding the January 6 protest. People were held for years without trial and these judges were hellbent on putting people into prison for decades.
I’m not sure of the status of this case, but I think it’s time to flat out accuse Cooper of judicial misconduct and for prejudging the case. Frankly, he should be impeached and removed by Congress, but we know that won’t be happening. What we’re seeing is judges like Cooper putting politics ahead of the law and the Constitution. Because of judges like him, people are losing any trust in the Judicial Branch. I’m beginning ti think we need a constitutional amendment to deal with judges like Cooper, but I have no idea how to write it. Perhaps someone will leave a thought in the comments.
