RINO Plot Fails!—Trump BLOCKS Boasberg with SHOCK Appointment!
In a stunning political twist that has left Washington reeling, former President Donald Trump has reportedly blocked what insiders are calling a behind-the-scenes “RINO plot” involving Judge James Boasberg—thanks to a surprise appointment that no one saw coming.
According to multiple sources close to the Trump camp, a plan was quietly in motion to elevate Chief Judge Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in D.C.—a known establishment favorite—to a powerful role that could potentially influence future cases tied to Trump’s 2024 campaign and legal entanglements. The plan, allegedly pushed by moderate Republicans and key D.C. insiders, was intended to further entrench the so-called “uniparty” control over the judiciary and limit Trump’s influence ahead of a contentious election cycle.
But in classic Trump fashion, the former president flipped the script.
With timing that even political veterans are calling “masterful,” Trump announced his endorsement—and private lobbying—for an alternative appointment that effectively blocked Boasberg from advancing. The move involved applying direct pressure on Senate allies, fast-tracking a lesser-known but loyal conservative jurist to the key vacancy that Boasberg was poised to fill. The name of the new appointee is still being confirmed, but sources describe him as a staunch constitutionalist with deep ties to the Federalist Society and a record of rulings aligned with Trump-era legal priorities.
Conservative media has hailed the maneuver as a “brilliant counterstrike.” “Trump just reminded everyone that he’s still the dominant force in the Republican Party,” said Fox News contributor Jason Whitlock. “The establishment tried to sneak Boasberg in the back door—and Trump slammed it shut.”
Judge James Boasberg, who has presided over several high-profile intelligence and surveillance cases, is viewed by Trump allies with deep suspicion, particularly over his tenure with the FISA court. Critics have accused him of rubber-stamping surveillance applications during the Russia probe—a period that Trump still claims was driven by politically motivated abuse of power. Elevating Boasberg, they argue, would be like “rewarding the referee who rigged the game.”
Moderate Republicans and establishment figures have remained tight-lipped about the failed plan, but sources suggest the internal backlash within the GOP is growing. “There’s a civil war going on in this party,” said a senior Hill staffer. “The RINOs thought they could outmaneuver Trump. They were wrong—again.”
Trump himself weighed in on Truth Social shortly after the news broke: “Another Swamp move DEFEATED. We’re taking our country BACK! Too many weak Republicans want to play nice while the radical left destroys America. Not on my watch!”
The shock appointment is more than a judicial chess move—it’s a signal. Trump is not only actively reshaping the future of the Republican Party but also reasserting control over the legal landscape ahead of what promises to be a bruising election year. Whether you love him or loathe him, one thing is clear: Donald J. Trump isn’t going anywhere—and he’s still playing to win.
