Justice in rulings that suggest the entire post-Watergate legal system is under threat.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=538\">Trump Endorses Candidate Who Hasn\u2019t Been Seen for Months<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since Trump returned to office, federal judges have blasted the administration for making questionable legal arguments, filing dishonest testimony, and failing to comply with court orders.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Some of those problems originated with the federal departments represented by the DOJ\u2019s lawyers, including the notoriously unreliable Department of Homeland Security, The New York Times reported. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>But over the past several weeks, the judicial rebukes have become even harsher as some judges have begun criticizing the DOJ\u2019s lawyers and holding them personally responsible for making false statements to the court, according to the Times. <\/p>\n<p>In mid-May, Judge Mary McElroy of Rhode Island, a Trump appointee, ripped into the DOJ for its \u201cappalling\u201d and \u201creckless\u201d lack of candor in a case involving gender-affirming healthcare for minors, writing that the DOJ had \u201cproven unworthy\u201d of the trust that Americans place in federal prosecutors. <\/p>\n<p>In her ruling, she wrote that the Rhode Island court shared the sentiment expressed by other federal courts that the government can no longer be taken at its word.<\/p>\n<p>A week later in Chicago, Judge April Perry, a Joe Biden appointee, dismissed a case against four anti-ICE protesters after the prosecution tried to cover up its own grand jury misconduct, and admonished the DOJ for failing to uphold justice. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do believe deeply in the presumption of regularity and that most government attorneys are doing the best they can to do the right thing,\u201d she told a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney. \u201cThat trust has been broken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And in a May 22 ruling in Tennessee, Judge Waverly Crenshaw, a Barack Obama appointee, dismissed criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported last year to a megaprison in El Salvador, and torched the DOJ\u2019s dishonesty in the case. <\/p>\n<p>Crenshaw wrote that the case \u201csadly reflects an abuse of prosecuting power\u201d and rejected the prosecutor\u2019s claim that he alone was the one who decided to indict Abrego Garcia on human trafficking charges over a 2022 traffic stop. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=537\">MAGA Pollster Admits Big Problem for Trump on Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Emails showed that DOJ leadership in Washington told prosecutor Robert McGuire that the case was a \u201ctop priority\u201d and sent him information about new witnesses identified by the Department of Homeland Security. <\/p>\n<p>The rise in judges questioning the so-called \u201cpresumption of regularity,\u201d including the longtime assumption that the court can take DOJ lawyers at their word, threatens the federal judiciary\u2019s ability to operate smoothly, legal insiders told the Times. <\/p>\n<p>After the Watergate scandal, the DOJ adopted new rules saying department lawyers should be held to higher standards because the entire executive branch\u2019s reputation rests on their shoulders. <\/p>\n<p>Those standards were unofficially articulated by the late Judge Patricia Wald as \u201cthe five Cs\u201d\u2014or the duties of competence, credibility, civility, consistency, and candor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t hide the ball,\u201d Harvard Law School professor and former DOJ official Andrew Mergen told the Times.<\/p>\n<p>Judges accusing government lawyers of dishonesty is \u201csuch an extraordinarily awful look for the Justice Department,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>In a statement, a Justice Department spokesperson told the Times that \u201cany attack on the professionalism or integrity of DOJ attorneys is outrageous and unjustified.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe department will continue to vigorously advance and defend President Trump\u2019s agenda in federal court with the utmost respect for the institution and rule of law,\u201d spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=535\">Trump\u2019s Fury Over Humiliating Music Event Disaster
