The tragic attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying. This type of unconscionable violence cannot be allowed. Political violence is un-American. It is an act of cowardice that steals the freedoms we cherish. This is not a partisan issue. It is an American emergency.
.@terrydholt & @AndrewBatesNC: Despite "whistleblowers warning that Emile Bove plotted to violate court orders" and he "refused to answer senators’ questions about if...he’s been involved in withholding Epstein documents," the @SenateGOP's rushing him into a lifetime judgeship.
We're disappointed to see Grassley & Tillis discount DOJ whistleblowers. These are brave public servants risking their careers & more to defend the rule of law.
Senators have a duty to personally meet w/ whistleblowers & investigate complaints before voting on Emil Bove's lifetime judicial appointment.
To put Emil Bove’s confirmation into perspective: Former members of judicial appointment committees have rejected nominees for filing their tax returns late
Let’s take a look at the non-exhaustive list of Bove’s misconduct—any one of which should be disqualifying:
A new survey shows even supporters of Trump-era agency cuts want a nonpartisan, expert civil service.

Thank you, @lisamurkowski, for opposing Emil Bove.
Bove punished law enforcement officers for investigating January 6th, sabotaged a bribery case, and is refusing to answer Senators' questions about his involvement in Epstein decisions.
50-48: Senate voted to begin debate on President Trump’s nomination of his former defense attorney Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Murkowski (R-AK) voted No with all Democrats. Rs McConnell and Mullin did not vote. Thune then filed cloture, setting up a floor vote for as early as Thursday to advance Bove's nomination.
Thank you, @SenatorCollins, for opposing Emil Bove.
Bove punished law enforcement officers for investigating January 6th, sabotaged a bribery case, and is refusing to answer Senators' questions about his involvement in Epstein decisions.
NEW: Sen COLLINS will oppose Emil Bove’s confirmation:
“We have to have judges who will adhere to the rule of law and the Constitution and do so regardless of what their personal views may be. Mr. Bove’s political profile and some of the actions he has taken in his leadership roles at the Department of Justice cause me to conclude he would not serve as an impartial jurist.”
The anti-law enforcement @Article3Project insults @FBI agents who Emil Bove punished for investigating January 6th.
@washingtonpost, 1/31/2025: "Justice Department orders FBI purge, review of staff who touched Jan. 6 cases"
AVA Advisers @terrydholt & @AndrewBatesNC: "Before a full Senate vote on Emil Bove...the Senate owes the American people transparency into any involvement Bove has had in the Epstein matter."
"The stakes for...theAmerican peoples’ faith in our criminal justice system are high."

Last year, @SenJudiciaryGOP called for subpoenaing the Epstein files that are now being withheld by @TheJusticeDept.
Before a vote on Emil Bove - @POTUS's former defense attorney - the committee must know if he has had any involvement in DOJ's handling of the Epstein matter.
Every member of @SenJudiciaryGOP has condemned January 6th.
Bove claims January 6th cases were "heavy-handed."
The problem was heavy-handed criminals beating police officers as they attempted to murder members of Congress and Vice President Pence.
ALERT: Emil Bove declines to rule out 3rd Trump term or denounce Jan. 6 rioters in Senate questionnaire, as he seeks lifetime appointment to federal court

The anti-law enforcement Article III project supports amnesty for criminals who beat cops.
Now they're panicking that @SenJudiciaryGOP has even more evidence that Emil Bove abused law enforcement officers and violated court orders.
Bove should be investigated. Not confirmed.
Contact Your Senators Right Now:
Demand they confirm Emil Bove WITHOUT DELAY. Remind them that their voters want bold judges who will restore the Constitution. America needs principled judges who are unshakable.

We support legitimate whistleblowers, but this disgruntled employee is not a whistleblower — he’s a leaker asserting false claims seeking five minutes of fame, conveniently timed just before a confirmation hearing and a committee vote. As Mr. Bove testified and as the Department has made clear, there was no court order to defy, as we successfully argued to the DC Circuit when seeking a stay, when they stayed Judge Boasberg’s lawless order. And no one was ever asked to defy a court order. This is another instance of misinformation being spread to serve a narrative that does not align with the facts. This “whistleblower” signed 3 briefs defending DOJ’s position in this matter and his subsequent revisionist account arose only after he was fired because he violated his ethical duties to the department.
