Milwaukee Judge Guilty

Are we finally going to see some accountability of (federal) judges?

• Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of felony obstruction. She was acquitted on the misdemeanor concealment charge.  “The ​jury ​followed Judge ​Adelman’s ​instructions ​faithfully,” says the jury foreperson as the jury exited the courtroom after handing down their split verdict.

  The jury deliberated for more than six hours after hearing nearly a week of testimony from witnesses on the day that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents came to the Milwaukee County Courthouse with an arrest warrant for Eduardo Flores-Ruiz.

  “The defendant is not evil, nor is she a martyr for some greater cause,” says Brad Schimel, Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin during a press conference after the verdict. “It was a criminal case like many that make their way through this courthouse every day, and we all must accept the verdict peacefully.”

And this was in near-blue Wisconsin, so could it be indicative of a trend? Or at least a fed up electorate that's sick and tired of being told one thing while out-of-control judges push something else entirely.

Start indicting and convicting some governors and we'll be impressed.
