What the WSJ fails to understand is that those "lawyers willing to tell him when he was wrong" are now deep state villains in the eyes of Trump and MAGA.

We're going to see so so many "if only the Tsar knew". This was also the narrative in one of the Federalist Society lawyers who decided they couldn't abide this diktat, and resigned.

“Tolerance of alleged corruption” isn’t the half of it. It’s active corruption *by DOJ*

“We like the unitary executive theory until it makes us look bad.”

"Puppet Show and Trump Administration."

I read the headlines of the WSJ every day only to reaffirm my decision late last year not to renew after 30 years. Its EB claims to support the unitary executive but is propping up something far worse.

"Let's hope they see the error of their ways."

“… and we sympathize with that goal.” God, I loathe the WSJ.

nickcummings.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just wondering how much they were cheering on the unitary executive theory the last four years?

la-crystal.bsky.social•8 days ago

'we sympathize with that goal?' ffs

The WSJ is wrong that the DoJ ruined these attorneys’ reputations. To the contrary, it made them.

And 75 million Harris voters spoke to the WSJ with one voice, "We effin' told you so."

artsulselva.bsky.social•9 days ago

In the last sentence, “Mr. Trump was saved” is wrong. We were the ones who were saved.

Non-MAGA conservatives should abandon the idea that Trump needs to be saved from himself. Trump is beyond saving. The point now is to save the country from Trump.

Maybe they will learn what it means to blindly endorse a lawless thug.

notechnofascists.bsky.social•9 days ago

The WSJ reporting has been very critical of the new admin in a variety of ways incl a big article on the family corruption enterprise today. And when the editorial boards also even mildly critical you have to wonder if the Murdochs are getting uncomfortable with the path forward here.

I don't think Sassoon's reputation was ruined at all!

gelastopaidi.bsky.social•8 days ago

They are gross.

bitterbanterb2.bsky.social•8 days ago

still whitewashing, willing to tell him he was wrong when they actually advised him the actions would be illegal.

fiatslug85.bsky.social•8 days ago

If the WSJ had any integrity they'd rethink the unitary executive theory and its effect on democracy and they'd say that the Trump Administration is failing spectacularly. But that would be tantamount to admitting a grievous error, which no Rupert Murdoch publication has ever done.

Alt text makes all the difference. Please consider this the next time you post a screenshot of such import.

They knew as they wrote “isn’t the model for the next four years” that it very much is, and will only get worse.

sailbarque.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes, by Jove. Let us hope.

adub01488424.bsky.social•9 days ago

So much of the writing about Trump is wish casting, e.g. "let's hope" that the Trump DOJ is more like Sassoon, who resigned, and not like Bove and Bondi, who remain.

jim0novak.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think there are a lot of DOJ attorneys used to a certain level of acceptance and respect from judges who are about to find out how hard a judge can be when they think an attorney is acting in bad faith.

bdwildeman.bsky.social•8 days ago

Weak, and late.

wenzopeg.bsky.social•8 days ago

Weak sauce

dbmcweeberton.bsky.social•8 days ago

Optimistic to think the US has four years left

keddren.bsky.social•8 days ago

"Let's hope the trial of Danielle Sassoon isn't the model for the next four years."

What in the fresh fucking hell leads these dipshits to believe it will be anything but?

filkerdave.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's the WSJ editorial board
