You left out that smiling Judge Boasberg showed up as an observer when Donald Trump was indicted for attempting to overthrow the election results on January 6, 2020. There was no comment or censure from Judge Roberts. My hunch is they have a weekly racket ball date or card game.
Impeachment and conviction of Boasberg is not going to happen. The GOP controls Congress and the White House. They should reach back to the 1801 Judiciary Act for a model. They could start by abolishing the DC circuit and by splitting the 9th. They will no doubt need to kill the filibuster along the way, and they should since they've been steadily losing for 70 years because of it. It the GOP wants to get the attention of John Roberts, this will do it.
I still remember the sinking feeling I had when I heard Barr on TV after Epstein's death in jail. I knew instinctively that Barr was part of the problem, not the solution. But he's right about the president's authority for national security -- Trump doesn't require either Congress or the Supremes to pre-approve his actions as Commander in Chief.

Remind me: Which member of SCOTUS oversees the DC circuit?

The fact that Boasberg let Clinesmith off the hook and reasons for his ruling tell you all you need to know about Boasberg.
Does this tidbit from Barr tell us that his fellow wuss Roberts will now vote for a crackdown on rogue judges trying to run the Executive Branch?
I was thinking the same thing. Low-testosterone Roberts needs the OK from a fellow Deep Stater.
