Activist liberal judges have been one of President Donald Trump's worst nightmares since taking office, but after the arrest of activist judge Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, the tides seem to be turning.

According to Breitbart, one experienced former DOJ official Gene Rossi commented on the situation, saying that it appears that Judge Dugan was willfully attempting to hide a defendant from being arrested and deported. 

The former DOJ official, who worked at the Justice Department from 1989-2016, said that it appears she was intentional in hiding the defendant but added that he wouldn't paper the case.

Rossie added that it was wrong that "she adjourned the case without telling the prosecutor and without telling the victims."

What did he say?

Rossi held nothing back during a CNN interview, providing his insight on the current situation with the judge.

"What you have here is a Judge who’s just incredibly angry that DEA agents, ICE agents, Custom[s] and Border Protection deportation officers are hovering around like bees for a man that they’re trying to arrest. It’s anger on steroids," Rossi said.

He added, "That prosecutor had this case on his docket. He had the victims there in the audience. For the victims, and I’m a big victim advocate, this was a big deal. And the thing that really bothers me about the Judge, and I think this is a big mess, is that she adjourned the case without telling the prosecutor and without telling the victims."

Rossi said he didn't believe there's enough there to convict her.

"And, whether there’s probable cause or beyond a reasonable doubt could convict her, that, to me, shows that she was willfully trying to hide that defendant from being arrested. And that bothers me a lot.”

Wouldn't paper the case

Rossi explained that the lack of evidence to get a conviction would have deterred him from taking the case further.

Breitbart noted:

Rossi further stated that Dugan adjourning the case “points towards her trying to conceal and obstruct the arrest of this individual…whether I, as a prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, would have papered this case, probably not.

He also drew on his vast experience with illegal immigration cases.

"I did a ton of illegal immigration cases, a thousand. I tried and I supervised thousands. Would I have papered this case? No. The thing that bothers me about the Justice Department in this case is they made it into a show. They waited a whole week to paper this case, a week."

He also said they "made a spectacle of this case."
