The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

I don’t know what it will take for mass resignations at DOJ. Treasury offered IRS employees a chance to quit & get paid thru Sept & got almost 20,000 applicants, a staggering number according to @jacobbogage.bsky.social They may reject applications, but our top leaders already quit, why wouldn’t we?

I'm sure he's relieved not to be asked to defend this shit anymore

Kind of feels like an own goal given the tidal wave of immigration litigation the admin is bringing on itself.

So now he can be a witness???? 🤔

I'm sure there will be lots of lawyers just chomping at the bit to replace him.

Despite claims, no president or their allies can snap their fingers to implement an anti-democratic vision. Our laws and Constitution provide real protections through the courts and in our communities to stop abuses of power and harm to people.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia #rendition case: As an officer of the Court, he is sworn to be honest. Indeed, some of licentious #DOJ attys incl. #AG herself are running amok of #ABA standards. #JudgeXinis https://bsky.app/profile/gripnoir.bsky.social/post/3lmuxb7mrkc2k

The only merit is your willingness to bend the knee to the administration

Aaron, are attorneys allowed to testify in front of Congress?

dazy-parade.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Well, now he’s free to oppose the DOJ.

No. Everyone knew one day one that there’s no way to ethically represent this administration. Especially in that kind of work.

He’s a hero. He threw the game for all to see. CECOT is over because of his efforts

This is either go down as an administration brought down via its own incompetence and inability to not pick the most cartoonishly evil option at every step, or one of the most horrifyingly embarrassing collapses country ever if picking every Evil Guy option works.

welll… He chose to represent them. He just wasn’t willing to commit perjury.

Legit question. What happens if they do run out of lawyers? Wouldn't that be a win for them? More delays and stalling?

He can come to the light side. We have cookies.

And anxiety.

Here's to hoping DOJ runs out of lawyers soon.

henrythedog.bsky.social•6 hours ago

okay but are we all gonna act like his foreign sounding name played 0 role in this?

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Fired employees are often excellent witnesses, just saying. He's probably require a subpoena, but may be willing to talk. (Anyone know how attorney-client privilege works when it's DOJ-millions of government officials none of whom are individually the client?)
