NYT Discovers Political Pressure Exists in DOJ
The NYT breathlessly details how a U.S. Attorney was allegedly forced out for clashing with brass over the Russia inquiry. This 'scandal' conveniently distracts from the systemic rot. Remember when Attorney General William Barr, under Trump, directly intervened to soften Roger Stone’s sentence recommendations, leading to an exodus of career prosecutors? The establishment media then, as now, frames
these as isolated incidents rather than symptoms of a deeply politicized justice system where 'justice' often aligns with power. So, a prosecutor dared to challenge how a high-profile, politically charged investigation was handled and was promptly shown the door. How many times must we pretend this is surprising? The real story isn't the departure, but the predictable mechanism of political
hygiene at work, ensuring investigations bend to the will of those in power. Perhaps the next NYT exposé will reveal water is wet.
