How Hate-Speech Laws Destroy the West
@SusiArnott I see your point Susi, but this lose the-judicial-review option has already been floated by journalists with vastly more reach than me. And even if well publicised, it comes with excellent #PlausibleDeniability.
Independent decision by the #IndependentJudiciary, old chap. Etc
Cohen worked on multiple #mafia cases & prosecutions of violent street #gangs.
The 3d individual placed on leave -- a member of the office's #civil division -- posted about #ElonMusk & #EdMartin, a #Jan6 advocate, leader of the Stop the Steal movement & #Trump's nominee for US attorney in Washington, DC.
A spox for the U.S. Attorney's Office for #SDNY declined to comment.

Appeals court allows #Trump admin to temporarily remove #watchdog lawyer #HamptonDellinger A federal appeals court on Wed allowed Trump to temporarily remove the head of an #independent watchdog agency who was investigating the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers. In a 2-pg order, the court granted the Trump admin’s request to stay a lower court ruling that blocked Trump from summarily firing #Dellinger, head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel. #law https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/03/05/court-decision-trump-administration-hampton-dellinger/
#EdMartin’s tweet, posted by the official account for the US Attorney in DC, said:
“As President Trumps’ (sic) lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect his leadership as our President & we are vigilant in standing against entities like the AP that refuse to put America first.”
US Attys are NOT the president’s lawyers. They work for the American people & take an oath to the Constitution & to support the laws of the United States.

It’s been a long time since #GOP has been able to make any claim to being the party of #lawandorder. They’ve just been the party of orders, as in follow our orders.
We need an #independentjudiciary to provide #checksandbalances for #democracy to thrive.
In a letter to the inspector general of the Justice Department, Democratic members of the #Senate #Judiciary Committee called for an investigation into Attorney General #PamBondi’s handling of the #EricAdams case, accusing her of weaponizing the department’s prosecutorial power to advance #Trump’s agenda.

Current & former #DOJ officials praised those who had already stepped down, saying they sacrificed their livelihoods & dream jobs [& quite likely their physical safety; defying a #Trump demand pisses ofc his #sturmabteilung] because they were put in an impossible position — told to do something they considered #immoral, #illegal or #unethical.

Part of the consideration for #DOJ lawyers is whether simply signing the document would mean risking their #bar license, since major ethical objections have already been made to dropping the case.
But in those private discussions, many of the lawyers believed it would be a worse outcome if all the section’s lawyers were fired or forced to resign over the #EricAdams case.
