Now a Federal judge requests an investigation of Mitch McConnell for allegedly pressuring judges to retire.

There was no "there" there.

Now why do I find that difficult to believe. [/quote]

Maybe because, in your mind, all Republicans are bad?  They are all part of the basket of deplorables?

[quote]Ho, hum. A judge who is retiring in order to care for his very ill wife is instead baselessly accused of doing so in exchange for a bribe. That, alas, is par for the course for the left-wing group Demand Justice and its lead henchman Brian Fallon.

Yesterday NPR reported Griffith’s own account of his decision to retire: he made the decision a year ago, in June 2019; he informed his family and law clerks at the time; he faced no political pressure to step down; and his wife’s “debilitating chronic illness” was the “sole reason” for his retirement. None of this could have come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the D.C. Circuit. Among other things, Griffith hadn’t hired clerks for the coming year, and Griffith has worked extensively from home for years in order to care for his wife. That’s why it had long been widely expected that Griffith would step down.

There is nothing remotely suspicious about the timing of Griffith’s retirement. He will qualify for his pension (under the so-called Rule of 80) on June 29, 2020, 15 years from his appointment. By retiring on September 1, Griffith will complete the D.C. Circuit’s current term and thus do his best to ensure that all, or nearly all, of the cases on which he is sitting will have been resolved.[/quote]
