Re: Former Trump Administration Employees

Anyone think we might see more of this?


https://news.yahoo.com/were-complici...185051712.html



We were complicit’: Lawyer who worked for Trump administration pens op ed apologizing to US

A former Department of Justice lawyer has apologized for working under the Trump administration.

Erica Newland, who worked in the Office of Legal Counsel from 2016-2018, says she and her colleagues were "complicit" in supporting an "anti-democratic leader".

Writing in The New York Times on Sunday, Ms Newland said she stayed at the DOJ after Mr Trump's victory believing she could limit his influence on policy.


But, Ms Newland says, her talents as a lawyer ended up having the opposite effect, making policies such as the 2017 ban on Muslim-majority countries more acceptable to the courts.

Some two years after leaving her position, Ms Newland said she would have better served the country by immediately quitting after the president assumed office.

"If, early on, the Justice Department lawyers charged with selling the administration's lies had emptied the ranks...the work of defending President Trump's policies would have been left to the types of attorneys now representing his campaign," Ms Newland wrote.

"Lawyers like Mr Giuliani would have had to defend the Muslim ban in court."

In coming to that conclusion, Ms Newland said she and those who also worked at the DOJ during Mr Trump's tenure owe the country an apology.

"We owe the country our honesty about that and about what we saw," she said. "We owe apologies. I offer mine here."

Apology not accepted. You accept a job with a crook and you're surprised when he does crooked shit? Get outta here.

He was draining the swamp G1. He was draining it of career servants who served the country faithfully no matter who the president in office was.

Pressure on Trump Intensifies as Resignations Roil End of His Term


Several high-ranking administration officials announced that they would resign including two cabinet members, a late and purely symbolic gesture by people who had stood by Mr. Trump even as he promoted baseless claims of election fraud and repeatedly refused to accept his loss.

The GOP split is amongst us. Seems the GOP in Congress hoped to appease Trump by voting for acquittal, now Trump is forcing every GOP in Congress to clarify on where they stand.

I find it hilarious (and a little sad) McConnell was probably Trump's biggest ally in Congress during his term, literally did everything he could for Trump, rammed through who knows how many unqualified federal judges for Trump (which will be Trump's lasting legacy when all of his executive orders are revoked), even voted for Trump's acquittal so he can run again in 2024, but as soon as he called Trump out for his horseshit "election was stolen" nonsense he might as well be a dog turd that Trump stepped in.

Fair warning to all you of GOP/Trump supporters, you need to decide if you stand with the pre-2016 GOP or if you stand with new GOP demi-god Trump. If you're with Trump, it's loyalty above all else. As soon as you break with him on anything you're out.

P.S. I really do find it hilarious Trump's original statement was gonna mention McConnell's double chins. Insulting people on their looks is as good as it gets in Trump's world. You know it was rewritten too because Trump doesn't know words like dour or sullen. Makes me wish I could see the original draft lol.

Re: Former Trump Administration Employees

Honestly, the republican party needs a complete re-set or it needs to go the way of the dinosaurs. The pre-2016 republican party sucked. The post-2016 republican party still sucks. There are at least a few more people I like now, than on-average in the last 12 years or so.

The democratic party has some of the same issues to me. Not talking about their politics vs. republican politics, moreso, regarding how the party is somewhat split between "moderate" democrats and the more liberal wing of the party, i.e. AOC, etc. I don't really agree with either of them, so I don't know how that party will look in 4 or 8 years, but should be just as interesting to see how it unfolds.

If Trump didn't spend 98% of his time fighting people and posting on Twitter, he might've got some more things done.

I like Rick Santorum, that's who I wanted in 2016. By the time the CA primaries got here in 2016, he wasn't even on the ballot out here.

But I liked the idea of Trump not being a career politician. I don't want old cronies like Biden or Clinton becoming president. Or Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, etc.

I hope Trump doesn't dissuade conservatives from voting for someone outside of the box again down the road. Don't want to pretend like the status quo has been so great for us.

Definitely, 100% agree. Dems have their own party split incoming, the socialist Dems vs. moderate Dems like Pelosi. So far moderation is winning, but give us another 10-20 years of income inequality and inequal treatment of minorities and we will see continued growth by the far left.

No easy answers here but maybe this is the start of a new 3-4 party system, radical conservatives, moderates, and radical dems.
