Corrupt Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson granted a longer extension to fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday evening said the Trump Administration could not appeal an administrative stay entered by Judge Amy Berman Jackson related to the firing and reinstatement of Dellinger.
President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) last Friday.
On Monday, Trump appointed Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins to take over Dellinger’s job as the Special Counsel.
Later Monday evening, Judge Amy Berman Jackson sided with Hampton Dellinger, issued an administrative stay, and allowed him to keep his job.
“Trump must allow Dellinger to continue to have “access” to the agency’s resources and cannot “recognize the authority of any other person as Special Counsel” while the order remains in effect, Jackson wrote,” according to Politico.
Amy Berman Jackson entered an administrative stay rather than a TRO which made appealing her decision tricky.
The Trump Justice Department immediately appealed Judge Jackson’s administrative stay anyway on Monday night.
The DC District Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday dismissed Trump’s appeal of Judge Jackson’s administrative stay and kicked Dellinger’s firing back to Amy Berman Jackson.
The three judge panel – Florence Pan (Biden), Michelle Childs (Obama) and Greg Katsas (Trump) said the Trump Administration cannot appeal an ‘administrative stay.’
“…the emergency motion for stay be dismissed as moot,” the judges said in Wednesday evening’s order.
Judge Jackson’s order was set to expire on Thursday, so she granted an extension late Wednesday and argued Trump cannot unilaterally fire the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel.
The judge is keeping Hampton Dellinger in his job until at least February 26 when an injunction hearing can be held, Politico reported.
This case will likely be taken to the US Supreme Court.
