#Deposition of #BorderPatrol Cmdr #GregBovino went off the rails at hello, transcript shows

The recent deposition of #CBP Cmdr #Bovino about the #UseOfForce by his #immigration agents during “Operation Midway Blitz” seemed to go off the rails the minute they said “hello.”

…What followed was nearly 7 hours of terse & evasive answers from #Bovino, punctuated by an occasional longer explanation about the allegedly violent mobs attacking & threatening #immigration agents.

The questioning was almost constantly interrupted by bickering between the attorneys, mostly instigated by #DOJ atty Sarmad Khojasteh, who at one point called plaintiffs’ atty Locke Bowman a “petulant old man.”…

Bowman, meanwhile, repeatedly accused Khojasteh of trying to hijack the proceedings with his drumbeat of objections & accusations….

“Stop it. Just stop it,” an exasperated Bowman told Khojasteh at one point. “You don’t need to give speeches.”

The transcript of #Bovino’s #deposition was made part of the court record…in an ongoing lawsuit accusing… #CBP & #ICE of routinely violating a restraining order issued by US Dist Judge Sara Ellis limiting #UseOfForce against #protesters & #media.

#law

Ellis blasted #Bovino for his antics & answers during the 3-day deposition, issuing a scathing 233-page ruling earlier this month that described the tough-talking field general as "evasive" & accused him of "either providing 'cute' responses" or "outright lying."

Oh boy, here’s #Bovino [somebody needs to give this guy a nickname, I’d say “pig”, but they’re far more intelligent than this pond scum] somehow trying to say under oath that shooting a praying #reverend in the face with a #PepperBall is an appropriate #UseOfForce. Unreal.

@Nonilex
Bovino is a conspicuous malicious pettifogger.
@Nonilex I am surprised no one is calling him Bovine.
@Nonilex re: nicknames - his name is closer to a cow, change the O to an E and we've got a stupid cow.

@Nonilex Not her best nickname, but Marcy Wheeler calls him "the Where's Waldo of Corrupt ICE enforcement": https://mastodon.online/@spocko/115391281443445768

A reference to his ridiculous "batting average" could work too: Greg "No Bill" Bovino.

The Abovination? What a disgusting person.

@Nonilex

This ass needs to be jailed already

@Nonilex
What a time to choose to put his holeyness on display.
@Nonilex Looks and sounds like another under-endowed pipsqueak with penis envy. tRump has a real hold on these mental types like himself.

@Nonilex

Usually a kick on his testicles help against this kind of dissonance...

@bitchboss @Nonilex and remember, it's important to follow through on anything you do!
@Nonilex
Sounds like a great deal of pettifoggery is being thrown around.
@Nonilex
To throw "two" cannisters of gas, you also have to have first thrown "A" cannister of gas.
