DOJ Lawyer Apologizes for being “Complicit” in anti-democratic Trump administration
[h1][b]Ex-Justice Department Lawyer Apologizes[/b][/h1] Erica Newland writes in the [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/20/opinion/trump-justice-department-lawyer.html]New York Times[/link] that shes haunted by what I did as a lawyer in President Trumps Justice Department.
No matter our intentions, we were complicit. We collectively perpetuated an anti-democratic leader by conforming to his assault on reality. We may have been victims of the system, but we were also its instruments. No matter how much any one of us pushed back from within, we did so as members of a professional class of government lawyers who enabled an assault on our democracy an assault that nearly ended it.
We owe the country our honesty about that and about what we saw. We owe apologies. I offer mine here.
