#GiftArticleThe Unraveling of the #DOJ60 attys describe a year of #chaos & suspicion.Trump’s 2nd term has brought a period of turmoil & controversy unlike any in the history of DOJ. #Trump & his appointees have blasted through the walls designed to protect the nation’s most powerful #law enforcement agency from political #influence; they have directed the course of criminal investigations, openly flouted #ethics rules & caused a breakdown of institutional culture.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/11/16/magazine/trump-justice-department-staff-attorneys.html?unlocked_article_code=1.108.VI2b.6ch67ZHzsXz8&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Ejaz Baluch, fmr lawyer in DOJ’s #CivilRights Division: “Our job was to find the facts that would fit the narrative that the administration already had.”“…the #DOJ demand letter to #UCLA asked for $1 billion in damages. We thought, $1 billion? They are making that up out of thin air. There is no way the damages we found added up to anything like that amount.”#law #felon47 #RapistInChief

Dena Robinson, a lawyer in the #CivilRights Division:“The idea of the investigation was that #PerkinsCoie supposedly engaged in illegal #discrimination against #WhiteMen. But Perkins Coie is an extremely white firm — only 3% of the partners are #Black. When my colleague pointed that out, the leadership didn’t care. They’d already reached their conclusion. They continued instructing my colleague to just find the evidence for it.”#law #DOJ #felon47 #RapistInChief

Liz Oyer, fmr #DOJ #pardon atty, was fired after she wouldn’t recommend restoring gun rights to #MelGibson“Mel Gibson has a history of #DomesticViolence, & I’m well aware from my experience & training that it is very dangerous for a person with a domestic-violence history to possess a firearm. …#Bondi has the power to restore rights without my blessing. My recommendation was sought, I believe, to give a veneer of legitimacy to what was…a…favor for a friend of the president.”#law #Trump #DOJ

In July, #PamBondi fired the #DOJ’s top #ethics adviser, Joseph Tirrell who say briefing Bondi on the rules on accepting gifts was a “recurring theme”“They didn’t want to return gifts, they didn’t want to not accept gifts, whatever the source.”#law #Trump #felon47 #RapistInChief

@Nonilex I wish that they would all sue for unlawful termination. That would be a powerful message.
