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.”
Sure, add it to the pile (of stuff they’ll never be punished for).
Judges have repeatedly said that Trump’s admin has violated their orders and they STILL haven’t done anything.
Fucking DO IT. You make yourself look useless with these empty threats.
Could be? Fucking do it, cowards.
They are playing the system. They know eventually a judge will hold them responsible. Their last move is who will enforce it… the DOJ?
A federal judge can fine every lawyer that worked on any part of this $5000 a day until they quit the DoJ or the judge has the files in hand. That’s civil contempt and there isn’t a fucking thing the DoJ can do about it.
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.
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.
They won’t be
Disbar the lot of them. Then throw them all into a dank hole
An oubliette, you might say.
If you can’t find a dank hole, store bought is fine
