However, this might not be the situation in the XRP lawsuit as he knows how District Judge Analisa Torres got selected. He added that she was less political than most of the federal judge.

XRP holders’ lawyer hinted that government overreach and the commission’s conduct might offend the judge to a certain point that she decides to comment on it. Despite the motives involved by former SEC director Hinmans and the US SEC, Judge Torres is expected to apply the law the way she sees it.
