DOJ Lawyers "Terrified" of Trump's Return; Key Trump Lawyer Says Either Get on Board, or GTFO
Many in government are worried about Trump's return. At DOJ, they're terrified. LOL.
This is all worth reading, but I'll bold the most important parts for you slack-jawed yokels. Mark Paoletta is that "key Trump lawyer" I mentioned in the headline. His message: Go get Daddy's belt.
Yes, this is a great potential pick for AG, but Ed Morrissey thinks he might have to settle for a lesser, but still powerful, position overseeing the most corrupted parts of the DOJ. Paoletta may not have a high enough profile to get nominated for Attorney General. That will most likely go to a governor or Senator with enough closeness to Trump to be trusted with the nod. However, there are any number of secondary positions where Trump can install Paoletta to be the AG's hatchet man, with Deputy AG being the most comprehensive and powerful. The next step down would be Associate AG, which would not have formal oversight over the FBI, ATF, or US Attorneys -- where much of the "Resistance" might form -- but still would have the Civil Rights Division and other interesting orgs in portfolio. Trump could keep Paoletta in the White House too as a means to keep an eye on the political appointees at DoJ. As you know, the House was just called for Republicans. So that means that conservatives will control -- nominally, in the case of Congress -- all three branches of government, and both houses of Congress. This leaves Democrats without a bastion of government power for their #Resistance efforts. Thus, a new op begins: Convincing the public that the bureaucracy is the fourth branch of government, and has its own independent source of power enshrined in the Constitution, and is authorized to provide #Resistance to Trump despite being unelected bureaucrats who are part of the Executive branch, and therefore only have the power that the Chief Executive -- Trump -- has, and must use that power to act as the Chief Executive demands. But no, the Constitution is like 100 years old, man, and the left needs to conjure up a foothold in government. So FusionGPS's favorite leak recipient and dogged defender of the Deep State tells us that Aksually Trump's inferior officers have a right to take action independently from him and impose their own agenda on the government:
That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. DOJ lawyers are Trump's employees and must act as he directs, so long as his orders do not involve law-breaking. But in all matters of policy and priority -- Trump's orders are orders, not suggestion. What the left is trying to claim is that all the leftwing bureaucrats filling the government -- who have taken over the government just as they took over the media, only hiring their fellow travelers until the whole institution is subverted -- get to make their own policy, despite being completely unelected and without any independent power in the Constitutional scheme of government. But this is the new op, insisting that bureaucrats may boss around the elected president. This is exactly as asinine as insisting that a congressman's staffers have the right to countermand his decisions and cast their own votes in Congress. Now yes, they did cast their own votes in the case of Dianne Feinstein, but that was illegal. | Recent Comments
