How will a Trump presidency affect the SDFLA and the Supreme Court

  • Trump will select between 2-4 Justices.  William Pryor stands a good chance of being Justice Pryor. Federico Moreno also made Trump's short list.
  • Who will be Attorney General?  Rudy Guliani? (I think it's less likely it will be Christie after the Bridgegate convictions, but who knows).
  • If HRC had won, there was talk that U.S. Attorney Ferrer would stay on (or that Joan Silverstein would become U.S. Attorney), but that won't happen now. Any thoughts on who Trump names?  Jon Sale? (he would be great).
  • There are going to be a bunch of open district court seats in the District.  Who gets those slots?

Clinton indictment comes first.

No way, he will pardon her, act magnanimous and say it is time to move forward not look back. That would be the very worst thing he could do to her.

The new US Attorney and the district judges will be whoever Marco Rubio anoints. The opportunist wins by jumping on the Trump bandwagon.

First will be selection of new Federal JNC members Statewide. The SDFla JNC will change significantly.

Don't worry 11:05 - Trump will have his very own indictment - rape most likely. Although fraud and tax fraud also come to mind.

Can US Attorney or judges get worse under Trump. Doubtful.

Are you kidding me 10:20?! Picture 3 or 4 more KMMs on the bench and a USAO with zero integrity and political agenda.

Maybe a prosecutor who doesn't condone invading the defense camp.

12:54: How do you blame the USA for the intrusion into the defense camp when the line AUSAs never went up the chain of command for approval? Blame lies with the idiots who acted on their own. For that, the USA may be blameworthy for his hiring decisions.

For the time being, I'll accept your premise that nothing went up the chain. Regardless, the leader of an organization is responsible for office culture. And when nothing happens to the "idiots" (your word) that amounts to tacit approval and encouragement of management.
