On Tuesday, Contreras--Obama appointee and friend of Peter Strzok--did the same as his colleague Amy Berman Jackson: he determined Harris' firing was unlawful because it didn't meet statutory language.
This also on appeal.

The Supreme Court also refused to stop Judge Amy Berman Jackson (we need a complete shut down of all "Amy" judges with two last names until we figure out what the hell is going on) from keeping Dem activist and Biden family friend Hampton Dellinger as Trump's special counsel.
He is now abusing his power by asking Merit Systems Protection Board (all Biden appointees) to keep almost 6,000 USDA probationary employees fired by the president on the job.
Dellinger used a single USDA employee complaint to seek such a broad request. He will continue to thwart Trump's agenda as long as the DC circuit drags out his case and it gets back to SCOTUS.

Although I did just notice while re-reading states' lawsuit that they cite the Dellinger circuit opinion upholding the TRO (2-1 with Katsas dissenting) to demonstrate irreparable harm. So any SCOTUS decision could factor into this. We will see!

Trump DOJ filed brief in appeal of Judge Amy Berman Jackson's outrageous order reinstating a Biden-appointed office of Special Counsel who had been fired by the president last week.
DOJ: "A stay is manifestly necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the government. The President has designated the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, as Acting Special Counsel. But the district court’s order makes it impossible for the office to be filled by the presidential designee. It requires that part of the Executive power of the United States be exercised, instead, by a person the President has chosen to remove from office."
Keep in mind, this is a powerful office with lots of legal authority.
More DOJ: "Plaintiff’s contention is that, in a dispute over who should control a single-headed agency within the Executive Branch, a person whom the President has removed as the agency’s principal officer can represent the agency’s interests in court and a federal court can vest the person with authority over the agency, displacing the President’s designation of a different person as the agency’s acting head. There is no way to square that argument with Article II."

I have little doubt Chutkan will enter a TRO. And while it appears a separate TRO is headed to SCOTUS this week--the halt on the firing of Biden-appointed Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger--the two issues are not alike.
In a split DC appellate court decision over the weekend, Greg Katsas (Trump) said the Dellinger TRO should be immediately appealable--TROs generally are not because they are short-term--because it imposes on the president an appointee with broad authority whom the president has the right to remove and replace with his own person.
Katsas in his dissent: "The government has shown a strong likelihood of success on the merits. An injunction preventing the President from firing an agency head—and thus controlling how he performs his official duties—is virtually unheard of."
In the Musk case, the states are asking to stop a presidential appointee from exercising broad powers given to him by an executive order.

Despite what former fed defenders of All Things Deep State say, the Office of Special Counsel can cause lots of headaches for the Trump White House.
That's why Hampton Dellinger, the Biden family lackey, and an Obama judge are fighting tooth and nail to keep him in the spot. The position, among other authority, has subpoena power.
For example: A lengthy report filed by the former head of OSC in 2021 targeted several Trump White House/adm officials for alleged Hatch Act violations. One can quickly see what a joke it is--but it created headlines and nonstop chatter about top Trump aides "being under investigation."
Luckily at the time, the board that determines penalties including fines and termination did not have a quorum. That is not the case now. The 3- member Merit Systems Protection Board now has 3 Biden appointees.
But don't worry everyone--this is just a dispute over for-cause language related to the firing of the OSC not another Dem sabotage operation!

Interesting.
At the same time the FBI started to investigate Donald Trump for retaining classified docs--Wray promoted James Dennehy (who just resigned as head of SDNY office) to head Newark NJ FBI field office.
Some reporting suggested the FBI would add Trump's property in Bedminster NJ as possible location for allegedly classified files.
Now why would Wray move Dennehy from SDNY to Newark one month before Mar a Lago raid? Was the FBI planning a similar raid of Bedminster? Was Dennehy tasked to Newark to do just that?
I'd like to see those documents...

Here are some of the laughable projects that the 8 climate nonprofits—chosen by Biden EPA—are allowed to finance.
Now anyone in their right mind can easily see how this arrangement is fertile ground for fraud and malfeasance.
But when asked to investigate at least one instance of possible criminality tied to the scheme, longtime DOJ apparatchik Denise Cheung refused to follow orders as to how to proceed and then resigned yesterday.

Judge Tanya Chutkan--who presided over Jack Smith's J6 case against the president and entered the landmark immunity order overturned SCOTUS--will preside over a hearing this morning related to a lawsuit filed by several states against Elon Musk and DOGE.
The states claim Musk's role violates the Appointments Clause--the same argument made by the president's lawyers against Jack Smith, resulting in the dismissal of the FLA docs case last July--and the "imminent harm" requires a temporary restraining order while Chutkan considers a preliminary injunction.
This is LOL by the states: "The Court should enter the revised proposed TRO to preserve the rapidly deteriorating status quo that existed prior to DOGE’s creation with Mr. Musk at the helm – a normally functioning federal government led by individual officers at their respective agencies."
NORMALLY FUNCTIONING GOVERNMENT.
"Imminent threats exist with respect to Defendants’ alarming misuse and treatment of sensitive data.
Institutions are not quickly rebuilt; repairing such damage takes considerable time. And in the meantime, without a TRO, Plaintiffs have no means for remedying the immediate loss of federal partners on whom Plaintiffs have relied for years to implement programs and funding approved by Congress.
Likewise, the continued chaos and uncertainty surrounding the fate of various federal agencies has a real and lasting impact on Plaintiffs, who must devote substantial time and resources they can never effectively recover preparing for agency 'deletion.'"
Something tells me the massively bloated state governments of CA, MI, and MD among others can easily pick up the slack.

As expected, Judge Amy Berman Jackson (Obama) issued a temp restraining order mandating that Biden family friend Hampton Dellinger stay in job as head of Office of Special Counsel--from which Pres Trump fired him last week.
Judge ABJ: "It is hereby ORDERED that from the date of entry of this order until the Court rules on the entry of a preliminary injunction, plaintiff Hampton Dellinger shall continue to serve as the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel, the position he occupied at 7:22 p.m. on Friday, February 7, 2025 when he received the email from the Assistant to the President. Defendants may not deny him access to the resources or materials of that office or recognize the authority of any other person as Special Counsel."
So Dellinger can pursue Hatch Act violations against White House employees and access any information he wants until at least the end of this month.

These are the sort of gremlins J6ers had to fight in court.
Sara Levine: “The Justice Department is under attack.”
It’s simply stunning to see how they lie with ease. They were not fired for “doing their jobs.”
They were temporary prosecutors on Capitol Siege unit who were made permanent after Trump won. Trump DOJ busted the scheme and dismissed the temporary hires.
Also—note how the 100% conviction rate is supposed to demonstrate the strength of the evidence rather than a rigged, biased process that involved jurors in the most Democratic city in the country.
These two aren’t even employable at the local DMV.

Andrew McCarthy is out with his 3rd of 7 consecutive articles criticizing AG Bondi and her efforts to depoliticize the DOJ.
In today's installment, McCarthy describes Bondi's "Weaponization Working Group" as "Orwellian."
McCarthy blasts Bondi for naming names in her working group memo--Jack Smith and Leticia James specifically--and says that's not how law enforcement works. He even condemns Bondi for naming James in a civil suit brought against New York for refusing to enforce federal immigration law.
"Even when the federal government has valid claims, lawsuits against sovereign states over their exercises of discretion in addressing federal enforcement priorities are not easy to win. Unforced errors make the task even tougher. Central to lawfare is naming the targeted adversaries rather than first building a compelling case that they’ve committed criminal or civil wrongs. If you’re posing as the scourge of 'weaponization,' naming names is an unforced error."
So individuals in public office who have clearly violated the law--including prosecutors like Smith--should not be named as potential subjects of investigation? Or making public their intentions to ignore federal law at the expense of public safety?
On what planet does this happen?
McCarthy continues his throat-clearing:
"The Trump Justice Department, by contrast, first issued a political condemnation of James in a statement there was no need for AG Bondi to make . . . and then sued James just a few days later. And the DOJ did so while simultaneously taking disciplinary actions against federal prosecutors and FBI agents who had investigated and filed indictments against Trump — which obviously reinforces the logic that Trump’s DOJ is in the vendetta business, not the justice business, as James and other Democrats will gleefully argue."
It is not a "vendetta" to remove partisan operative from their jobs no matter how much reverence McCarthy has for the DOJ and FBI. Why does he always fail to mention the egregious MAL raid or the corrupt nature of the docs case (grand jury abuse, tampering with evidence, misplacing evidence, misleading the court, etc)? What about Jack Smith's dubious J6 case against the president that was gutted by SCOTUS on two occasions--in immunity and 1512c2.
What McCarthy is arguing is to let these bad actors off the hook--or at the very least, not to announce ongoing investigations by the name of the target.
Somehow he believes that would represent the end of weaponizing the DOJ--of course it would render the complete opposite as we've seen over and over.
No accountability for Russiagate or Ukrainegate (scandals endorsed by NRO btw) or any other instance of lawfare is precisely how we got Jack Smith and 2 unprecedented federal criminal indictments against a former president.

Last year, Hampton Dellinger, appointed head of the Office of Special Counsel by Biden, single handled expanded his reach of Hatch Act violations to White House employees.
He was fired by Trump last week and filed a lawsuit claiming his firing broke the law.
DC Judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated his job.
Here’s what Dellinger wrote in Politico in May 2024 after he broadened his own authority on Hatch Act enforcement:
“While the Hatch Act is broad on paper, a loophole has emerged in practice: senior White House personnel (including assistants to the president and others deemed commissioned officers) aren’t being subjected to the law’s full enforcement. Today, that changes.
It’s clear Congress wants the Hatch Act to apply to as many people as possible. Only two positions are walled off completely from its restrictions: the president and vice president. While most Senate-confirmed officials are exempted from enforcement, White House staffers are not. It would be extraordinary if they were.
As a result, I am announcing that prior OSC statements that White House officials cannot face Hatch Act enforcement in the same way other federal civilian employees do are no longer in effect. It is time to close the Hatch Act’s escape hatch.”

In another long piece indistinguishable from a Biden-era DOJ press release or the Washington Post, WSJ portrays DOJ/FBI employees as victims of reckless Trump administration:
This is LOL:
“For the past decade, leaders at the FBI and Justice Department have concentrated on threats from overseas, including terrorism, cybercrimes, as well as Chinese and Russian espionage—including the vast “Salt Typhoon” hack of the U.S. telecom systemattributed to Beijing and the Kremlin’s escalating acts of sabotage.”
No WSJ that is NOT what DOJ/FBI leaders (Jim Comey? Chris Wray? Rod Rosenstein? Merrick Garland? Lisa Monaco?) have “concentrated” on.
They’ve actually made our country less safe by “concentrating” money, time, and resources on prosecuting President Trump, his allies, and his supporters who showed up on Jan 6, 2021.
The same event the WSJ covers in much the same way as CNN does.
