From Townhall
Former Federal Judge Mark Wolf made headlines in early November after he retired from the bench and subsequently aired his dirty laundry. Wolf knew he could not speak on these matters as an active judge, so he removed himself from the judiciary to get his fifteen minutes of fame. While he did get headlines for his effort, what he really did was expose the increasing hypocrisy within the federal judge ranks.
In an op-ed, Wolf detailed his grievances. A single quote reveals the flavor of his message: “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out.” He then repeats the same news items that others have told.
But three news items that he mentions are striking as particularly hypocritical because they tangentially involve the courts. After all, he wrote the article and resigned, so that he could “advocate for the judges who cannot speak publicly for themselves,” implying he represents a segment of the judiciary.
He complains of the prosecutions of Letitia James and James Comey, but fails to mention the prosecution of Trump and members of the first Trump administration and reelection campaign. Why wasn’t Wolf concerned when lawfare occurred under a different political motivation? By finding fault in the prosecution of members of one party, but not the prosecution of members of the other party, is Wolf endorsing the use of the court system to punish Republicans only?
