Justice Department lawyers have repeatedly delayed or rebuffed the judge’s orders, culminating in a frustrating Thursday court hearing in which an exasperated but reluctant Sullivan floated the possibility of contempt proceedings.
“I just don’t want anyone to be blindsided if we have to go down that road,” he said. “It’s not a threat. It’s a promise. I have a job to administer justice, and I take that very seriously.”
Individual lawyers can have their law licenses revoked for their involvement. Not everyone is willing and able to sacrifice everything for the Orange shit gibbon
I’d argue that by this point, any lawyers with integrity who worked there are already gone.
They didn’t say integrity, they said law license. You don’t need integrity for one of those.
Truth
In the spirit of calling cops pigs, I’m thinking we should start calling DOJ lawyers joey: little kangaroos, with their little kangaroo courts.
I’m onboard
More than you think. I believe the DOJ lost 70% of lawyers in 2025 alone:

I heard later stories report 75%.
Now, anyone they hired into the circus to try and replace them surely lacked integrity as a prerequisite.
The article you posted says one small division in DOJ lost 70% of its attorneys. The DOJ didn’t lose 70% of its attorneys. There are a LOT more divisions in DOJ than just Civil Rights. Also, the picture showed is a lot smaller than what it actually is because each box can break down into more than 1 office.
Yeah. It’s so bad that they’re offering $25k signing bonuses for lawyers.
Used to be, DOJ didn’t have to do that because they had massive numbers of excessively qualified applicants climbing over each other to apply.
