Collusion between judges and Jack Smith?
Are we cynical enough yet?
According to newly released documents by Sen Grassley office, it appears Special Counsel Jack Smith conferred with both DC Chief Judges Beryl Howell and James Boasberg as to their legal strategy in targeting the president and his associates.

Surely this sort of briefing isn’t standard? Notice it doesn’t say it’s a hearing.

I’m sure it’s collusion, almost certainly a conflict of interest & immoral, but I can imagine there is no clear law it violates, with a more general violation being subjected to “not guilty in this case”.
MAGA & limited judicial power will be a long hard fight, mostly domestic, most victories easily changed with a party change in the House.
Huge reduction in Muslim intl terrorism over the world will be a huge positive for the future. And, unlike judicial reform, seems doable.
Judges can be impeached, but that is hard work, even for a senator.

“it appears Special Counsel Jack Smith conferred with both DC Chief Judges Beryl Howell and James Boasberg as to their legal strategy in targeting the president and his associates.”
“appears” is the key word. If evidence emerges of indisputable collaboration, then that is a conspiracy…
Here is Bill Shipley’s explanation, he has other elaboration in his X feed

It is against the Nebraska Rules of Professional Conduct for a lawyer to have a substantive conversation with a judge without opposing counsel present. It’s a prohibited ex parte contact. The judges know that. Unless I’m missing something (and I don’t think I am), both Jack Smith and the judges should be sanctioned.
If you see a judge at a conference or a football game, different deal.
It’s hard to tell exactly what this is. An ex parte communication *during* a specific case? A planning meeting to address strategy going forward (before any case had been initiated)? Something else?
Either way, it sounds very improper. To the extent that any relevant case is ongoing, one option is a motion to disqualify the judge – if one of the named judges is presiding over the case. Another option for all the above permutations is to proceed under the following law:

Nothing will happen. These judges are immune and protected.
In which current DC Circuit judges do their level best to emulate Judge Sirica conspiring with DC federal prosecutors and House democrats to impeach, try and convict Nixon in Watergate. Some things never change. Cheers –

Judges aren’t immune from being disqualified by ex parte communications.

I was imprecise in my language. They are immune in a political sense; not a legal sense. Not job ramifications for this.
The judges will assert (as will Smith) that these meetings were to coordinate the workflow of the anticipated cases, not the substance of the litigation. Meetings like this are not unusual in complicated conspiracy or RICO cases in which a number of individuals are expected to be indicted and tried in a single district. These are not ex parte because there is no case yet against represented individuals before the judge. What is unusual is the bias displayed by both the judges involved, and I sense there was probably much said that is not recorded in the meeting summary.
