WHOA! Hampton Dellinger Reveals His Plans to Unleash Hell on Trump – But DC Circuit Court Stopped Him Just in Time (VIDEO)
Fired Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger admitted he was ready to take aggressive legal action against President Trump if the DC Circuit Court of Appeals hadn’t stepped in to stop him.
On Monday evening, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Dellinger, despite his efforts to block their decision. The three-judge panel—Henderson (appointed by George W. Bush), Millett (appointed by Obama), and Walker (appointed by Trump)—delivered a ruling that went against him.
The Appeals Court referenced past legal precedents, including Seila Law and Collins, arguing that the government had met its legal burden. They stated that the U.S. President has the authority to remove the head of an agency with a single top officer. The judges wrote that even minor restrictions on a President’s ability to remove executive officers are unconstitutional, reinforcing that Congress or the courts cannot regulate this power.
This ruling was a major setback for Hampton Dellinger, who had been trying to prevent the court from making a decision. The outcome is expected to influence other cases, including those involving Cathy Harris and Gwynne Wilcox.
On Tuesday, in an interview with Mediaite founder Dan Abrams, Dellinger admitted that he had been preparing to file a lawsuit aimed at reinstating 200,000 probationary employees who were fired during Trump’s presidency.
“I knew that once I was removed, the office’s independence was gone. The idea of trying to come back months later and fix everything just didn’t seem realistic to me. So I decided to step back,” Dellinger explained.
He revealed that he had been close to taking action just before the court’s decision, saying, “It hasn’t been made public before, but I was planning to file a case on behalf of all 200,000 probationary employees last Thursday or Friday. I believe they were wrongfully fired.”
Before the ruling, Dellinger had already succeeded in reinstating 6,000 employees, and he had been prepared to fight for all of them.
“Last Wednesday, I won relief for 6,000 employees. Then I was removed from the case. But I was ready to go in for all of them—it would have been the right thing to do. I believe the court and the board would have ruled in my favor. It’s frustrating that I didn’t get to fully fight for those hundreds of thousands of employees,” he said.
Hampton Dellinger just admitted he was prepared to demand the reinstatement of 200,000 federal probationary employees fired by the president. He succeeded in temporarily reinstating almost 6,000 before DC appellate court took him off the job of special counsel:
