Judges are appointed for life, though:
1) Have the right to retire at their own will.
2) A judge may be deprived of his post by applying an impeachment procedure.
3) I’m talking about Ruth Ginzburg’s withdrawal from the Supreme Court judges at her will due to illness, it’s time for her to rest

...who claims he ran an internet influence campaign using hacked data and Cambridge Analytica to get Trump elected.

Klyushin’s ex-wife Yulya Alferova was the PR rep for the Agalarovs and sat in with Trump at business meetings when Trump visited Moscow in 2013.

Both Klyushin and Alferova began to promote Trump as a potential presidential candidate right after his 2013 visit.

Here's some social media background from Charley Lucas at Medium in 2017:

So, a Russian billionaire who claims that he put Trump in the White House is following me on Twitter.

This will take a little explaining.

First — Artem Klyushin started following my Twitter account yesterday.

Note the “Twitter Verified” logo next to the flag next to his name. Artem Klyushin is a billionaire who apparently lives in Moscow, is in his 30’s, loves Aston Martin cars and supermodels, and never sits still. To be honest I don’t know much about him, but you can gather quite a lot by his Twitter feed. By my estimate he tweets about a million times a day.

There are three particular tweets of his that have been getting attention lately though. The first is this one from 2013:

...

You might recognize the guy in the middle. According to Seth Abramson (more later), this is the meeting in Moscow during the Miss Universe pageant in 2013 where a deal was signed to build a Trump tower in Moscow. Trump was originally supposed to have a face-to-face meeting with Putin to make this deal, but Putin didn’t attend at the last minute. His real estate man, permits man, and banker did attend in person, Putin attended via conference call (possibly this picture), and the deal was signed.

That deal was active until January 2016, right before the presidential primaries, when it was abandoned due to lack of land permits. Note this means the Moscow Trump tower deal was active during Trump’s presidential campaign.

Here's Kilyushin's Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/ARTEM_KLYUSHIN

Most of it's in Russian, so unless you speak the language you'll need to use Google Translate. A number of folks from the US are chiming in unsympathetically on his recent posts (of which there are many) about the wall kerfuffle.

....Artem's wife at the time, Yulya Alferova, is the woman in the far left corner. She too would be simultaneously Twittering her dealings with Trump, and claimed that he was talking politics all throughout the day.
