I watched the Youtube video re the granting of bail to Aaron Clark. We have all the many instances now of DoJ attorneys lying to federal judges. The judges now know that they are doing it repeatedly. The judges seem to be content with endless rounds of fact finding, show causes, and the like. Why do they put up with it? They just don't seem willing to hold anyone accountable. Justice needs to be certain and swift. There have been no consequences and so Bondi and Blanche and their sub-alterns continue to act and lie as if there will be no consequences.

I think maybe federal judges need to open their hearings involving DoJ counsel with admonitions to all the lawyers present. "If you lie in my courtroom; if you dissemble, if you purposefully omit material facts, if you purposefully misstate a statute, the holding or dictum from a case, or the factual precis upon which a case is based, or the testimony of any witness or other parts of the judicial record, including motions, orders and judgments, then I'm going to hold you in civil contempt, and you will sit in jail until you agree to speak truthfully; and, furthermore, the bar associations in the states or districts in which you are licensed will immediately be notified of your lack of candor before this court. Before we proceed, you will each submit to my Clerk the names of all the states in which you are currently licensed to practice law."

It's not enough, but it would be a start.
