The "featured lawyers" list on our website showing Lee Zeldin at #1, a position previously occupied by Pam Bondi, who is no longer on the list.
We removed Pam Bondi from our "featured lawyers" list, and replaced her with Lee Zeldin, reportedly Trump's leading candidate to replace her. Bondi is no longer featured. At all.
We're doing our part! 🫡
NEW: DOJ is disclosing "corrections," "clarifications" and errors in legal fights over Trump administration policies. Judges want answers.

The Florida bar refused to investigate bar complaints against Bondi under the dubious claim that it "does not investigate... sitting officers appointed under the U.S. Constitution while they are in office."
We now expect (not) the FL bar to launch an investigation promptly.

We really don't think the new Acting AG is very good. It is, in fact, our opinion that he's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Acting AG.
The attorney is Joseph Mazzara, whose multiple past instances of questionable conduct are already documented on our website. We will be adding this to the list, of course.
genuinely shocking evidence of misconduct in ways that should guarantee disbarment of the lawyers responsible. i've never seen anything like the longer para on page 2.
We are seeking lawyers/law student volunteers to help us with legal research and drafting. The current DOJ generates endless work for us, and we need your help.

We're pretty sure prosecutors are only supposed to charge crimes they believe they can prove in court...
A federal prosecutor told a North Carolina federal court that he was separating from the office after admitting in open court to using artificial intelligence to help draft a response brief, what he called "the worst decision I've ever made in my 30-year career."
DOJ is looking to remove an entire cohort of lawyers--DOJ lawyers--from disciplinary requirements the public has long relied on. It offers no timelines under which a state could follow up if DOJ does not.
Again, the administration is looking to run out the clock to remain unaccountable.
Seems bad
What a farce.
This is happening. And we need your help now more than ever to document DOJ's misbehavior.
Check out our website at glowlaw.org, and help us by volunteering your time or money.
BREAKING NYT:
Lindsey Halligan, the ex-U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal cases against Trump's enemies over the objections of career prosecutors, is under investigation by Florida's bar association, according to a letter the organization sent last month.
Daniel Rosen's profile is still not live, but we're working on it!
Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...
If anyone happens to know "Counsel", let us know!
7/7 Also, as the court noted, this was not the only time Ishahra failed to follow a court order under similar circumstances.
You can read all about this unfathomable chain of misconduct in the Court's decision from 2/20:
6/7 Also contrary to the court's order, the petitioner was released without his identification documents. Petitioner's counsel contacted Isihara to inquire about how the petitioner could get his documents back. Isihara never responded, nor did he take any action to look into the matter.
5/7 “I have a few urgent matters I need to close the loop on. I’ll circle back with you later this afternoon.”
He never followed circled back.
4/7 contrary to the court's 2/9 order to release the petitioner in MN, the petitioner was eventually released in TX. The petitioner's counsel emailed Isihara and asked him to help to transfer the petitioner to MN. Isihara responded in an e-mail...
3/7 As a result, the Court granted the petition on 2/9, ordering the petitioner's release. Isihara did not notify ICE of the decision to release the petitioner, and did not take any steps to make sure the government complied with the order.
2/7 SAUSA Isihara was assigned the case on 2/2. As the assigned attorney, he was responsible for preparing and filing the government's response to the petition by 2/5 court imposed deadline. He did not. He never filed a response.
1/7 We're pretty sure most of our followers are aware of the fact that SAUSA Matt Isihiara was found in civil contempt for failing to follow court orders. But we doubt most are aware how very badly he failed at following court orders.
