It was without factual and legal basis and was a grotesque political abuse of power. Judge Deborah Boardman, who presided over the case of the would-be assassin who tried to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh, reduced his sentence by 22 years – completely ignoring the DOJ’s request of a 30-year sentence.
