      And is he seriously asking the Trump administration to self-identify who should be punished for all of this? Does he honestly think that the DOJ is going to hand over a list of names to be sanctioned? Because if so, I want a lifetime supply of whatever he’s smoking.

      He’s asking, and he almost certainly believes he’s legally entitled to an answer. He almost certainly believes the DOJ will not cooperate, but potential noncompliance by defendants shouldn’t influence rulings.

      The only thing for the judge to do is issue rulings and orders as if things are normal.
