The headline is missing the point and downplaying what’s going on here, this lawyer wasn’t expressing frustration, he didn’t raise his voice or make insulting remarks or anything like that. He was asked by the judge [paraphrased] “Why is your client breaking the law?” and replied [paraphrased] “I asked them that too. I guess they didn’t mean to do it?” but the Trump administration wanted him to either straight up lie and say they hadn’t broken the law or refuse to answer the judge’s questions and pretend the court didn’t have authority to ask them.
Not only is our executive branch breaking the law and ignoring court orders to follow the law, they’re throwing out any attorneys who won’t also break the law and ignore judges too.
Just more evidence that the “weaponized DOJ” was projection.
It always is.
You’ll be hard pressed to find lawyers who are both competent and willing to directly lie to a judge.
Why would this administration need competent lawyers, they’re playing the game with cheat codes and can’t lose
