Politicized Prosecutors of the Right
The U.S. Attorney for D.C. described himself and his colleagues as “President Trump’s lawyers” Monday in a post about the Associated Press’s legal case against the Trump administration over access to White House events. The attorney, who is a federal prosecutor and not Trump’s personal attorney, said “As President Trump’s lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect his leadership as our President and we are vigilant in standing against entities like the AP that refuse to put America first.” We’re old enough to remember a time (2024) when conservatives criticized progressive prosecutors for putting politics ahead of getting violent criminals off the streets.
