If only he was a woman of color, he could’ve just slept his way into the White House if he wanted to.

Guess Dr Jill will nominate Fanni Willis to replace Josh

Even more serious than it first appeared.

Anchorage Daily News

Alaska federal judge lied to investigators about sexual misconduct, inquiry...

Judge Josh Kindred was asked to resign after deliberately and repeatedly lying about sexual misconduct with a former clerk and two other attorneys, a scathing Judicial Council order said.

Kindred was basically told to resign immediately or the Judicial Council would refer his case for impeachment. Besides sexual misconduct, he lied to investigators.

Very good chances he will face criminal charges in this matter for false statements.

Because much of the misconduct involved prosecutors who appeared in his courtroom, it could result in literally hundreds of vacated criminal verdicts.

He was a piker compared to Merchan funneling millions to his daughter.

Work is no place to play romeo.

This does show a nice contrast to sweet Fanni who still gets to work.

Was this thread supposed to show the political bias on full display in the federal judiciary?

It certainly isn’t a swipe at Trump.

trump appointed a lot of honorable judges. this scum was an outlier.

has NOTHING to do with who appointed him.

not everything is political.

workplace hostility occurs everywhere among every political demographic.

needs to be rooted out and destroyed.

It was all just GA peachy.

Timpson testified that she had tried to address these issues internally before filing a whistleblower complaint, but was met with hostility and retaliation from Willis and her staff. Timpson has a pending lawsuit in state court against Willis on allegations of wrongful termination.

“A lawsuit filed by Timpson against Willis has been dismissed in federal court.”

It is not.

If I was actually to take a political swipe in this matter, it would NOT be at Trump.

It would be at Senators Murkowski and Sullivan for not digging a little deeper in vetting this guy when they recommended him to Trump.

UPDATE

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/09/12/alaska-judge-kindred-impeachment-sexual-workplace-misconduct/

The Judicial Conference of the United States has formally referred Joshua Kindred’s case to Congress for impeachment proceedings.

While Kindred has resigned and while he receives no annuity, his behavior was just so over the top that this step was deemed necessary.

I don’t think Congress will actually take any action, since he has resigned. But by referring Kindred for impeachment, the Judicial Conference is highlighting to everybody the extreme ugliness of Kindred’s behavior.

Since he was appointed by Trump the Dims will shine a very bright light on the issue. It will be regurgitated ad nauseum.

Well, as I said earlier in this thread, it is Murkowski and Sullivan who were most responsible for this piece of ■■■■ being recommended to Trump and THEIR names should be dragged through the mud on this.

Particularly when he was rated 16 out of 20 applicants by their nominating commission.
