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.
Dont forget that the establishment is not only guilty of inaction, but also preventing others from trying to stop things as well.
Narrator: In a surprise to no one, the cowards didn’t fucking do it.
No chance they do it now. They’ll do it when Trump is likely already dead, if (and only if) a proper democrat and congress comes into power, and when the sentiment tides signifigantly shift. To the point where that MAGA neighbor suddenly pretends he never voted for Trump (he voted for him 3 times. maybe 4).
Then they will probably get 1-2 lawyers on the hook, take their license, and give them a consultant role elsewhere in government as an olive branch. Justice. I sure hope to be proven wrong, but something tells me we won’t learn from Reconstruction.
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.
Yeah. It’s so bad that they’re offering $25k signing bonuses for lawyers.
Used to be, DOJ didn’t have to do that because they had massive numbers of excessively qualified applicants climbing over each other to apply.
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.
In the spirit of calling cops pigs, I’m thinking we should start calling DOJ lawyers joey: little kangaroos, with their little kangaroo courts.
I’m onboard
Once again I’m worried that absolutely nothing of consequence will occur and I have to sit here and stew in anger as our republic desiccates and rots from within T-T
They’ll get right on to this in a decade or so. I mean the wheels of justice turn slowly, and we wouldn’t want to undermine a sitting president or anything.
