Public-job relations edges only, retrieved 2026-08-25. No Form 990 officer HIT. Case-outcome and family/intergraph rows are not drawn. Emphasis is the compiler’s.
James Boasberg is a relations subject with no officer HIT in the DataRepublican index. The stored public-job edges are appointments, court succession, a Yale Law classmate line, and a clerkship. This page is that graph. It is not a docket of every case he touched.
The chart below is only the stored edges. A line is not a crime. A board seat is not an invented affiliation. Opinion is in the marked band at the bottom.

What this is not
It is not a finding that James Boasberg committed a crime. An appointment is an appointment. A classmate line is a classmate line.
No officer HIT. Stored edges not drawn: dismissed lawsuit seeking Trump’s tax returns; ordered release of emails related to Hillary Clinton; Michael Bennet / Denver schools family line; Frank Olson; Laura Crane; Neomi Rao; Thomas F. Hogan D.D.C. succession. Those omissions are scope.
It is not a White House product. It is not a Method page.
