NY lawyer. Sued Trump derivatively o/b/o U.S. on Jan. 19, 2021. Biden's DOJ moved to dismiss my case. Years later, they tried to prosecute Trump. How'd that turn out, General Garland?

Fair question, WFFODID!
A derivative case is one that an entity (corporation, partnership, non-profit) _should_ bring but won't. So courts let stakeholders (shareholders, partners, members) sue for the entity.
For a bit more, below is page 1 of my SCOTUS petition, 21-1389.
Thanks for asking!

Yesterday in Delligatti v. United States, No. 23-825, SCOTUS held that, in sentencing, a "crime of violence" may include a failure to act by a person who has a duty to act--a crime of omission.
Wait for it...
What recent, infamous crime involved someone failing to act although he had a duty to act?

Friday morning, hours before the ambush and abuse of Ukraine's President, I filed a SCOTUS amicus brief in 24A831 -- the USAID case.
Here's the summary.
Trump just replied without even trying to refute that he comes to Court with unclean hands.
Ahem.

Are there 2 typos: "President" for "President's"?
Or does EO say, "The President... [is] controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties" and that "no employee of the executive branch . . . may advance an interpretation of the law... that contravenes the President"?

DOJ moved to dismiss my case, which was based in part on the Jan. 6 insurrection--not that one would learn that from DOJ's opening.
Note the sarcasm--"purported apathy." "Alleged bias in favor of personal interests." Air quotes around Chief Executive Officer.
WTF?
Note the date, April 2021.
