The publisher of an upcoming exposé by the anonymous senior Trump official behind the infamous New York Times op-ed rejected the Justice Department’s demand for revealing information on the official on Monday, per a letter obtained by TPM.
As if I don’t already have enough books. My wife is going to shoot me.
I just love all the non-disclosure agreement talk. If these were real DOJ threats, wouldn’t they be quoting statutes around secrecy and classified materials?
Don’t tell me, its a close personal confidante saying Trump is an ass?
Won’t be worth buying, just read the writeups on it, and any stories the reporters chase that are juicy
I find the idea that the Department of Justice is enforcing non disclosure agreements of fucking public officials to be offensive.
Impeach and disbar Barr.
Personally I can’t and won’t pick up any book even those written by people sympathetic to Democrats that have to do with this admin. I read for pleasure, entertainment and escape. None of that happens when I’m ingesting this admin’s misdeeds and that writer is profiting off of them.
Just imagine the gall of the publisher to not cooperate with the department of justice. There ought to be a law!
I dream of someday writing a fuck-you that dry and succinct.
“We are in receipt”, lol.
Yup, using the DoJ as mob enforcer “goons”. It’s bluster. NDAs are not legitimate “contracts” where the Federal Goverment is concerned.
Oh and they have only 9 more days to put up or shut up re Andrew McCabe.
Wow, Shithead and his minions will stop at nothing in their quest to build an Enemies List.
Why don’t they just ask Kellyanne? 
I had a client whose preferred response was “Fuck you, strong letter to follow,” but Ms. Ross is apparently more discreet, though equally effective.
To be fair, they are also calling in the guns about whether the person had a security clearance, which would have required them to submit the text for review by the department to ensure that it didn’t contain classified information.
Shorter HBG response:
"Dear Fat Bill:
“Fuck you. We’ll be here when Donald has backed a truck over you to save his own wide ass.”
Because it’s Nielsen. She was really hurt by everyone saying that she was enabling trump, when she was doing her best to mitigate and stop him where she could.
The DOJ has turned in to the Brown Shirts.
Executive summary: Fuck off. We know the law.
I read for pleasure, entertainment and escape

Have you read “Girl Waits With Gun” by Amy Stewart? Historical fiction based on a woman in NJ in 1915-? who becomes the 1st female Sheriff’s deputy there. Reminds you of why women’s rights were and are a Thing. Also much fun.
the Justice Department’s demand for revealing information on the official
With this, the Department of Justice and William Barr specifically have become the legal representative of Russian organized crime.
No tax returns, no author’s name. Simple as that.
Should this be taken as a serious opinion?
