I don't know about the mafia stuff.
However, I don't understand why a federal judge--ESPECIALLY someone who believes Trump represents a threat to democracy (or whatever his beef is)--couldn't restrain his bias so as to be able to remain on the bench and perhaps bring some actual justice to any Trump-related cases that might ever come before him.
This is not a Trump issue, this is an elderly gentleman who for whatever reason has become emotionally disregulated.
Does he actually think he is in a "better" position to "fight the good fight" by NOT being a federal judge anymore?
Many of these lower federal court judges have an axe to grind with the Supreme Court. Maybe that's the real issue and he doesn't want to admit to that.
Why not just stay on the bench, and rule as justly as possible? Of course that means you have to apply the facts to the law in the case which comes before you. You can't rule against the Trump administration in the case that is before you just because Trump may be doing some other stuff external to what your case is, and it angers you.
Federal judges have to be impartial in all kinds of cases, including disgusting serial killers, child abusers, all kinds of horrible things, yet they somehow find a way to keep their judicial temperament and stay on the bench.
