The DOJ Is Lost -- Digby
https://digbysblog.net/2026/05/21/the-doj-is-lost/Ok, I admit I'm a little bit shocked to see the USAT for SDNY, on Squawk Box in the first place. Hearing him say this is unconscionable. I'm beginning to think we'll need to totally dismantle the DOJ if we expect to survive as a country.

This is shameful spin from SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton. https://t.co/hoSREOqNMA-- Kristy Greenberg (@KGreenberg_) May 21, 2026
He's actually saying that we should pay convicted criminals who beat up cops to make up for the fact that some moron leaked Trump's tax returns (along with thousands of others) when every other president for the past 40 years not only didn't think the exposure would "destroy" them, they released them voluntarily.
God help us.

"They" didn't leak Trump's tax returns. An IRS contractor did - along with thousands of other tax returns - during Trump's first term.
Biden's DOJ prosecuted the contractor, who got the max: 5 years in prison.
