‘Cold To Rights’: Hugh Hewitt Thinks Feds Have ‘Open And Shut’ Case Against Milwaukee Judge

Syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt said Friday on Fox News that federal authorities appear to have an “open and shut” case against Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan.

Federal agents arrested Dugan Friday morning for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant who faced violent crime charges to evade immigration authorities on April 18. During a panel discussion on “Special Report,” Hewitt reacted to reports that FBI agents arrested Dugan after she allegedly helped Eduardo Flores Ruiz, an undocumented gang member.

“I’ve heard from legal experts on really all sides ideologically saying there appears to have been obstruction here, and that is a crime,” said host Bret Baier.

“Yeah, I don’t think it’s a close case, Bret,” Hewitt said. “I listened to Attorney General Bondi talk earlier about how the judge escorted the defendant who was under the ICE investigation out the back door, along with the defendant’s counsel, to evade the ICE people in the hallway after engaging in a shouting match with them.”

Hewitt said that while judges are afforded respect, they are not above the law.

I don’t know what kind of punishment goes for obstruction and concealment, but the way that General Bondi laid down the fact, it’s open and shut. She was breaking the law,” Hewitt said.
