After appointing Mary McCord to take up a defensive position for herself and the FISA Court, Boasberg then became the presiding judge in the case against the FBI agent who falsified the FISA application, [[Kevin Clinesmith]]. Boasberg gave Clinesmith a slap on the wrist and a few months’ probation. Boasberg also gave [[J6]] [[FBI]] [[agent provocateur]] [[Ray Epps]] a sentence of probation. While on vacation, Boasberg sat in the [[DC]] courtroom to observe defendant President Trump who was forced to appear in DC court in a [[lawfare]] case. Boasberg also established a horrible precedent by forcing [[Vice-President Mike Pence]] to testify before a DC [[grand jury]] about his conversations with President Trump, breaking [[executive privilege]].
