Here’s some good news for a change. Really happy to see this!
Four years in the making, today we are announcing a new one-of-a-kind database containing the investment and conflict information for every federal judge. Spanning 17 years, this database was extracted from over 250,000 pages of judicial financial records. https://t.co/gxlfJY4VPx

Okay, not the part about the 13 131 (!) federal judges who broke the law by ruling in cases where they had a conflict of interest.
To build this database, we collected over 27,000 financial disclosure forms filed by federal judges, magistrates, and justices. We are releasing over 1.5M investment transactions, 29,000 reimbursements, 1,700 gifts, and more. Details here: https://t.co/LcLG7P9kfG pic.twitter.com/9ZoDrNkaG6
