Justice Department lawyers have repeatedly delayed or rebuffed the judge’s orders, culminating in a frustrating Thursday court hearing in which an exasperated but reluctant Sullivan floated the possibility of contempt proceedings.
“I just don’t want anyone to be blindsided if we have to go down that road,” he said. “It’s not a threat. It’s a promise. I have a job to administer justice, and I take that very seriously.”
Could be? Fucking do it, cowards.
They are playing the system. They know eventually a judge will hold them responsible. Their last move is who will enforce it… the DOJ?
Individual lawyers can have their law licenses revoked for their involvement. Not everyone is willing and able to sacrifice everything for the Orange shit gibbon
I’d argue that by this point, any lawyers with integrity who worked there are already gone.
More than you think. I believe the DOJ lost 70% of lawyers in 2025 alone:

I heard later stories report 75%.
Now, anyone they hired into the circus to try and replace them surely lacked integrity as a prerequisite.
The article you posted says one small division in DOJ lost 70% of its attorneys. The DOJ didn’t lose 70% of its attorneys. There are a LOT more divisions in DOJ than just Civil Rights. Also, the picture showed is a lot smaller than what it actually is because each box can break down into more than 1 office.
