The flabbergastingly-incompetent "We're voluntarily dismissing our appeal of this dog of a case." / "No we're not" duelling motions from the US DoJ kindergarten theatre of yesterday and today just *screams* of the following sequence of events:
1. Senior DoJ attorneys trying to formulate the appeal of the loss in the original case (which, as you'll recall, is about Trump illegally and arbitrarily punishing law firms he doesn't like) know they have an impossible task - there's nothing they can say that will justify the appeal in a legal sense.
2. They write it up as "We should drop the case" and send it up the chain.
3. A manager/supervisor/<title>-in-charge approves it.
4. It slides by Bondi's desk without notice. She's busy screaming about the Dow-Jones anyways.
5. They file the motion.
6. It gets coverage on TV news, including Fox.
7. Trump sees this, picks up the phone and screams at Bondi demanding the punishment continue.
8. You Are Here.
This really is the #stupidest #timeline.

Department of Justice Drops Defense of Trump’s Orders Punishing Law Firms
While some firms caved to Trump’s demands, a handful were vindicated with quick legal victories.Top #NFL legal negotiator resigns as chairman of Paul Weiss #lawfirm after #EpsteinFiles appearance vexes veneer of corporate litigator Brad Karp.
In one email dating back to July 2015, Karp thanked Epstein for “including me in an evening I’ll never forget” at the financier’s home, writing that it “was truly ‘once in a lifetime’ in every way.”
Epstein responded, writing that there “are many many nights of unique talents,” and promising Karp that he’d be invited often.
In another set of emails from 2016, Karp attempted to use #Epstein to connect his son to #WoodyAllen.
Initially Paul Weiss said, “Mr. Karp attended two group dinners in New York City and had a small number of social interactions by email, all of which he regrets.” Later Karp's resignation letter said “Recent reporting has created a distraction and has placed a focus on me that is not in the best interests of the firm.”
