The former Justice Department official who allegedly plotted with President Trump on a DOJ election intervention has now also been accused of politicizing the department’s hiring process on his way out the door.
Regarding the person who got hired, do they still have a job?
Inappropriate intervention in the hiring process to employ a politically allied, but less qualified, applicant.
In the Drumpf administration?
Who’da thunk it?
I suspect this’ll get a chapter all of its own in any review of how the former administration mishandled the government.
So many Eichmanns, so little time.
First, the whistleblowers, then the real heavyweights. This bodes well for Clark being on the short end of a DoJ investigation very shortly.
I hope what he did violated the law and that he gets indicted. It sounds rather minor relative to some of other stuff that happened in the prior administration but they need to pursue ALL OF THEM.
as well as to the department’s inspector general and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (an agency that’s separate from the special counsels that are appointed by the DOJ).
Sometimes I think there are too many words in the English language, then there are times like these. They really couldn’t come up with another name for that agency?
Oh, the rot, the creeping rottenness! It permeated the entire Trump administration and much of the rot remains.
Certainly.
We need surety that in half a generation or more, they don’t show up on some other corrupt bastards list of appointees or nominees.
Like another Billy Barr coming back to haunt us.
Trump’s Just-Us department.
AG Garland is going to have to have a complaint box the size of a semi-trailer.
But first, he needs to fire ALL of Trump’s lackeys.
Did they bring the appropriate kneepads?
I’m beginning to get the definite feeling that not everything in the Trump administration was above board.
I’m less definite on whether anyone will ever be held accountable.
I read these stories – this and stories of Jan 9 and marvel at how close we came to autocracy. By the skin of our teeth Americans made dump a one-time president.
It seems that the underlying theme of all things Trump and Trumpist are projection. This guy is just another landmine planted in the Justice Department as part of Trump’s “deep state.” The career employees of the Justice Department that were constantly being besmirched for doing their job apolitically during the last administration were only doing the jobs they were hired to do with professionalism instead of helping Trump. This guy was hurriedly installing a real “deep state operative” when he should have been spending his time cleaning out his desk.
What about the Ides of March?
What will come first a) the healthcare plan, b) infrastructure week, c) Trump’s 2nd inaugural ball?
The answer is, of course, b) …from the Biden administration!
Too Caesarean. Didn’t turn out well for Julius.
Clark looks like just the sort of chinless wonder fat donnie would favor.
The front men are picked to look good on teevee, while his insiders are nonthreatening (to him) blobs of jello.
