George Floyd #2

I am disgusted watching FedSoc Trump appointees trying to redeem themselves by turning on each other. Read all the coverage of the Jeff Clark fiasco with that in mind. I am finding it particularly hilarious reading the different stories where the various attorneys are trying to position themselves; many who know these folks are laughing at how obvious the indentities of the "unnamed sources" are. It is particularly fun to watch the sequence of stories, where one cannot help but speculate that they are trying to outdo each other with their strategic leaks. In each story, a different one emerges as "the hero."

Who is Jeff Clark, please post a link or two.

He was the guy plotting with Trump to take over from Rosen and try to screw around with the election results. Top people at Justice threatened to resign en masse and Trump backed down

Seriously, we’ve had tears streaming down our faces with laughter for days now; the text chains and emails make my stomach hurt from laughing so much, but here is a really sad thing in all of this: NYT is doing their bidding for them, and knowingly at that. Think about it - you are the reporter who gets this “scoop!!” and you know this is the least newsworthy thing these guys have witnessed over the past four years. You know that these guys, (who loathe you and everything you stand for and have done nothing other than enable and cover up much worse) are calling you to use you. What do you do? Do you run the real story? (That these morally bankrupt individuals are scrambling to do anything they can to salvage ability to show their faces outside their corrupt circle)? Or do you run exactly the story they want you to (which reveals that you, too, are morally bankrupt)? Although he doesn’t deserve it, I actually feel bad for Jeff Clark. There really is a lot of “wow, who knew?!” going around on that one. Seriously presented as an actual nice guy in the shark tank. There is a “news” factor in that aspect, but again, these guys saw and did a lot worse than anything Jeff Clark did and not only did none of them “leak” to NYT, but they circled the wagons and turned on anyone that did. With all of that said, I give them credit for the deflection because I’ve taken an informal poll of those who don’t get DC at all, and the narrative these guys were going for is taking hold with the unsuspecting for whom NYT is gospel.

Just a few of the many:

And who are the "heroes" of the stories, the people who jumped ship / threatened to jump ship in the last week or two of the administration?

That's what they'd like you to think. Pathetic that these guys fight disclosure of virtually everything under the amorphous "deliberate privilege" doctrine, yet full on breach confidentiality when it is in their own personal interest. Some of these guys were at odds with each other at the end of the W Administration such that we had to start seeing them separately over 10 years ago; I cannot even imagine the infighting going on now.
