Making sense of the trial and conviction of a judge who stood up to Trump

According to the Eastern District of Wisconsin’s Interim U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel, freshly appointed to his position by President Donald Trump, the federal trial of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan had nothing to do with politics. “There’s not a political aspect to it,” Schimel told reporters after Du...

A jury found Milwaukee County Judge #HannahDugan guilty of a felony. “She was a frustrated and angry judge who was fed up, who decided to corruptly take matters into her own hands,’’ Assistant US Attorney Kelly Brown Watzka told jurors.
And yet we continuously have federal officials disregarding laws without any accountability. This is what it looks like to live in a #fascist country with a #corrupt government.

Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan found guilty of obstruction for helping immigrant dodge agents

A jury has found a Wisconsin judge guilty of obstruction for helping a Mexican immigrant dodge federal authorities. Jurors handed down the verdict against Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan on Thursday after deliberating for six hours. She faces up to five years in prison when sentenced. According to court filings, Dugan led Eduardo Flores-Ruiz out of her courtroom through a private back door on April 18 after learning agents were in the courthouse looking to arrest him for being in the country illegally. Federal prosecutors charged her days later with a felony count of obstruction and a misdemeanor count of concealing an individual to prevent arrest.

Donald Trump gets immunity for official acts, but Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan doesn't. The Milwaukee County Circuit Judge was arrested in April over allegedly taking Eduardo Flores-Ruiz through a jury door instead of a main exit so that he would avoid ICE, and charged with "knowingly concealing a person for whose arrest a warrant and process had been issued." Dugan pleaded not guilty, arguing immunity from criminal prosecution for judicial acts, but U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph rejected this. Here's more from Adam Klasfeld at @allrisenews.

Wisconsin County Judge Hannah Dugan hoped to benefit from the Supreme Court's immunity ruling, but a federal judge found that was for presidents, not jurists.
