Judge Howell is incredulous that government believes they were "lawfully" enforcing Trump's EO at USIP by "use of guns and threats against American citizens who've served our country for years."
It likely wasn't, but I don't think she is supposed to talk about anything that could be construed as preconceived notions in court -- her reactions need to be focused on what she is hearing from the attorneys.
Judge Howell asks the government's lawyer: This conduct of threatening criminal investigation, using armed law enforcement from 3 diff agencies, to carry out EO. Targeting, terrorizing staff. When there are so many other lawful ways to accomplish goals. WHY those ways? Just bc DOGE is in a rush?
like, we are supposed to believe they even CHECKED for duplicate records? a group of outsiders unaccompanied by actual employees looked for - and found - copies of all the documents they wanted without even knowing the file system? Suuuuure.
I still can't fathom for the life of me what business DOGE would have destroying and shredding ANY records of ANY agency independent or not. What's "efficient" about that?
Fascists hijack the meanings of words. Here, it’s a smoke screen. They don’t mean to improve the gov’t, but to disable it and allow their buddies to take over the functions and assets, funnel tax dollars to themselves, and sell us back an inferior product. Weather, schools, Post Office, parks.
Oh, I know. I just think it's worth pointing out that shredding hard copy originals isn't remotely efficient, but it's one way to ensure that altered digital copies aren't able to be verified or disproven.
People keep saying, Haha! Wait till maga finds out what they did! They may never.
I can conceive of ways the regime can miss the MAGAs with their destruction to keep them tight. They can target the destruction to us, to the vulnerable, etc.
I hope this causes massive duplication archiving, removal, preservation of work product, processes, histories, of everything that is our property and extracting for safekeeping.
Laws against that? Discouraged from doing that? Confer. Decide. Be clever.
Gov't says the president always has the right to remove members serving executive functions in executive branch. But, as judge points out, USIP is not an executive agency!!!
Let it not pass without notice that this claim in itself is contestable. Exec believes it, SCOTUS might agree, but it is not a settled fact that the President can remove everyone in leadership in the branch.
Because USIP can disburse money, distribute grants, must post notice of meetings in federal register, travel expenses reimbursed, subject to OMB budget process, the government says that makes them an executive agency—despite being created by Congress.
The only good news in these DOJ hearings for the last couple of weeks - Trump and Bondi's Fourth Reich DOJ is so f'ing bumbling, blabbering, incompetent, unprepared, inexperienced, unethical and stupid, they are helping the cause of justice. Exposing ineptitude powerfully protects the Rule of Law.
Reminds me of the lady who honked at me because I stopped at a stop sign. She was behind me and wanted to go faster. We were entering a shopping area with a grocery store, a pizza place, a Buffalo Wild Wings, a pet store, and a Math tutoring venue. Which store required that we run a stop sign?
I worked for Ambassador Moose when he was at the US Mission to the UN. He is a superb diplomat with a long and distinguished record of service to our country.

The answer is about to show and it’s likely not to come down as loyalty to the Constitution.

They will need their militias soon.

This is all insane.

"Those are the records we, DOGE, shredded."
"Those are the records that were shredded before we broke in."
