Nominee Bove 'Can't Recall' Telling DOJ To Say 'FU' To Courts

Sen. Adam Schiff did a masterful job calling out the BS.

By NewsHound Ellen — June 25, 2025

Thank goodness Sen. Adam Schiff nailed the nauseating corruptness of Emil Bove, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, currently a deputy attorney general and now nominee to a federal appeals court. As Schiff pointed out in a previous video, Bove is almost certainly being set up for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court as well.

We can hope that Schiff’s questioning nipped that latter promotion in the bud. At the very least it highlighted what a slimy liar Bove is.

Schiff began his questioning in Wednesday’s confirmation hearing by asking about a whistleblower’s allegations that, among other things, Bove instructed DOJ lawyers to tell the courts “fuck you.” Schiff reminded Bove that he was under oath, then asked, “Did you say anything of that kind?”

... Bove as a liar - under oath! I don't think Trumpsters will care, however.

Have you seen a doctor about these memory lapses? Because they are certainly disqualifying. How do you even remember what you wore yesterday?”
