Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Ms. Good’s vehicle, but Trump administration leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have departed, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.
I mean, it’s great that they left their posts to protect their own integrity. Bravo.
Where is the fight though? Why aren’t these people going out and telling the world that this administration is corrupting the rule of law?
They have the information. They can tell the world exactly what they’re doing over there. They’ve seen it. Yet none of them come forward.
For an administration like this to succeed in what they’re doing it also takes a massive lack of action from those that could stop it or speak out against it.
All I see are cowards interested in themselves. If they really wanted to have any integrity they would be in front of the cameras, together, telling the whole world exactly what happened.
But they’re not.
I think the very existence of this article is because of exactly what you’re saying they’re not doing. Just because they don’t go in the talk show circuit and try to make a name for themselves doesn’t mean that they aren’t quietly working with reporters to unravel this case in the background
That’s a very valid point.
I would reply though that the article is quite vague on specifics.
They could be providing verbal testimony to exactly what happened and how it happened. This piece feels like it’s vague enough for the administration to just outright deny.
If they, as a group, stood together and said “this is exactly what we saw and this is why it is terrifying” it would have far more weight than an article in a newspaper, even if it is the NYT.
They’re career civil servants. They understand how to make change on small significant ways that are not all about the limelight. They are the opposite of politicians.
I get that. It does make sense. Do you know how exactly they are trying to affevt change then? Do you believe they’re working behind the scenes? Just wondering if that’s an assumption or you know something.
It’s a gross injustice. The administration is basically subverting the rule of law and these people know that. Every US citizen should be aware of what they are doing. It’s the behaviour of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy.
