The state of affairs in Minnesota continues to show an abject nightmare. The Trump administration continues to ignore and flagrantly undermine judges. If the administration put half as a lot effort into honoring its authorized obligations because it locations into attacking judges on social media, maybe they wouldn’t be staring down an enormous staffing disaster — a disaster they’re attempting to resolve by asking people on Elon Musk’s pornification site to sign up as AUSAs.
Hey, they constructed ICE by indiscriminately recruiting individuals who failed even the barest of entry {qualifications} after which refusing to coach them to comply with the naked minimal of guidelines that sure federal legislation enforcement… possibly it would work for prosecutors!
Within the meantime, let’s see the way it’s occurring the bottom over at DOJ.
So, I suppose they haven’t seen a flood of latest purposes based mostly on Chad Mizelle asking potential prosecutors to slip into his DMs.
It’s early, however Julie Le now takes a commanding lead within the race for quote of the 12 months. “The system sucks, this job sucks,” she advised Choose Blackwell. Given the a number of recorded incidents of DOJ attorneys mendacity to the courts, that is refreshing candor.
Personally, I wish to assume she delivered it like Scarface quitting his job in Half-Baked.
In any regular setting, she would probably get her 24 hours of sleep beginning roughly 5 minutes after getting again to the workplace and studying that she’d been fired. However these usually are not regular occasions, and the DOJ might have to hold on to the lawyer even when she’s prepared to go on the report as actively hating her job.
That is what “flooding the zone” appears to be like like. Trump’s braintrust lengthy thought that bombarding the system with abuses would overwhelm the guardrails. What they’re discovering out is that the guardrails maintain and the administration itself simply finally ends up squished.
For her sake, hopefully she will reduce ties with this Justice Division on her personal phrases sooner relatively than later.
