I just had the time to read #DoJ letter withdrawing Westfall certification for Trump’s alleged #defamation of E. Jean Carroll, that is, concluding he was not acting within the scope of his employment as President when he made the remarks over which Carroll is suing him. The paragraph pictured is a nugget of legal craftsmanship. #LawFedi 1/2

And the kicker is at the end,
“The "tone of [the relevant statements] strongly suggests that [defendant's] motivation ... did not spring from a desire to serve . .. the United States." Armstrong v. Thompson, 759 F. Supp. 2d 89, 95 (D.D.C. 2011).’”
With a legal reference no less.

@DrSundar Yep, that is what elevates the entire paragraph!
