No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

The government broke the law, violated a court order, and lied about it, and now it is telling the court "you have no right to make us reveal our misconduct to the world." These people need to be put in their place fast or this kind of criminality will continue nonstop for 4 years!

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
