DOJ's Threats to Congress and Teeth Gnashing Cannot Obscure The Agency's Substantially Weakened Position Protecting Trump #ELB
An Election Law Blog post argues the DOJ's threats against Congress cannot hide how weakened the department has become in protecting Trump. The author says DOJ's ranks are depleted, its dishonesty with judges has cost it the presumption of regularity, and Trump lawyer Will Sharf's threats to prosecute Democrats for oversight are toothless. He compares the DOJ's bluffing to facing a bear, says no lawyer he knows thinks the third James Comey indictment can succeed, and predicts courts will not tolerate prosecutions of members of Congress for their oversight work.
