60 Attorneys on the Year of Chaos Inside Trump’s Justice Department

Sixty former staffers describe an environment of suspicion and intimidation within the nation’s most powerful law enforcement agency.

The New York Times

We’ve learned that law and liquidity aren’t opposites — they’re mirrors.
One guards value. The other values guardrails.

When the watcher and the market share the same frequency, protection stops being surveillance and becomes stewardship.

That’s the future of accountability — not division of roles, but reflection of purpose.
Security that learns. Oversight that listens.

The contemplated investment fund, as well as #AlexWitkoff’s fund-raising outreach to Gulf nations, represents another startling example of the #Witkoff family apparently trying to #profit off its patriarch’s proximity to #Trump. #SteveWitkoff & his other son, Zach, already face accusations of *pushing* [passing] ethical boundaries through their #cryptocurrency venture with the Trump family, which also has been doing deals in the #MiddleEast.

As Witkoff Pitched Mideast Peace, His Son Pitched Mideast Investors

The nomination, which comes amid a whirlwind of #Trump admin actions to dismantle the government’s #PublicIntegrity [legal depts charged w/combating #political #corruption] guardrails, also has raised questions about whether Levels, a company #CaseyMeans co-founded that sells subscriptions for devices that continuously monitor users’ glucose levels, could #profit from the admin’s health guidance & policy.

“This is yet another sign that it’s open season for political #corruption," said Stacey Young, the executive director & founder of the group Justice Connection, a network of #Justice Dept alumni supporting #DOJ's workforce. "The administration gutted the #PublicIntegrity Section, neutered the #USAttorney’s Office in
#DC, & is now shuttering the #FBI’s pre-eminent federal public corruption squad. This isn’t what voters had in mind when they heard, ‘drain the swamp.’”

A top leader in the #FBI’s Washington Field Office was also recently reassigned, 2 people familiar…said. A FBI ofcl said the person was not reassigned for any adversarial reason.

Earlier this year, the #DOJ slashed its #PublicIntegrity Section, which had also worked on public #corruption cases. Members of the unit had also resigned after refusing to sign off on dropping the federal corruption case against NYC Mayor #EricAdams.

#EmilBove’s demands frustrated people in the #CivilRights division, but many of the managers were afraid to push back, having watched a month earlier as Bove pressed prosecutors in a different division, the #PublicIntegrity section, to drop #criminal charges against #NYC Mayor #EricAdams…. That section, which once had about 30 lawyers, now has only a handful.
