Rep. Elise Stefanik files ethics complaint against judge in Trump's civil fraud trial


The senior House Republican and close Trump ally accused Judge Arthur Engoron of “weaponized law fare” against the former president and called on the judge to recuse himself.

1. I think anyone can file a complaint

Generally, anyone may become aware of an ethical concern about any federal employee, and legitimate concerns should be investigated and properly dealt with. If I see my postal worker reading my neighbor's mail I should say something about it, or if I overhear a federal employee at a party talking about lavish gifts they received.

In this case, as usual, trumpies are abusing the system for partisan and personal advantage.

2. Isn't this a State trial, though?

Would she have standing for that?

3. nope. she is an idiot.

5. Any person

can file such a complaint in NYS. The NYS Commission on Judicial Conduct will not take this any more serious than if any other maga member filed it. The Commission is run by serious people with solid legal minds. (I have had three Justices of the Peace removed from office by them.) The congresswoman is merely seeking attention for her re-election campaign.

7. She's a New York rep and resident, which seems to give her standing to complain

Nothing there saying you have to have a special status or connection to a NY judge to officially complain about them.

9. The Commission's web site:

4. Sure if it involves a federal judge or court.

Engoron though is a NY judge presiding over a NY state case.

[H2O Man]

6. She filed it

with the NYS Commission on Judicial Conduct, on a NYS case. There is no "federal" factor involved.

8. New York women will hopefully unseat her soon.

She is full on against our state.

[H2O Man]

10. She is a terrible

human being. She knows better, too, having opposed the defendent early on, on a number of issues. But she is an opportunist in the worst of ways.

11. Just red meat to the base. Will go nowhere just waste court time.
