Justice Dept. Turns to Partisans and Conspiracists to Fill Depleted Ranks
The civil rights unit has recruited people whose questionable work histories and dearth of education and experience might have disqualified them in the past, former officials said.
![As the Court remarked earlier this week, “[a]ll attorneys, as ‘officers of the
court,’ owe duties of complete candor and primary loyalty to the court before which
they practice.” ECF 50 (Order) at 4 (quoting Malautea v. Suzuki Motor Co., 987 F.2d 1536, 1546–47 (11th Cir. 1993)). That duty of candor is more important than ever now considering what occurred last night, particularly on the heels of the Acting Attorney General’s false statement and other egregious statements by high ranking Administration officials detailed in the SPLC’s prior motions. In light of the
apparent breaches of grand jury secrecy and proper DOJ practice, the SPLC respectfully asks the Court to issue an Order requiring DOJ and the USAO to show cause explaining its conduct and why it should not be sanctioned considering the prejudicial consequences at stake here.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:353gzbhcjbznfxegvayffqek/bafkreib7p7ynlqzxlfq7jyvweih6ls4d54gqezwlc7qfu5ahy552sak7oe)
![“The loss of retirement income has made a significant impact on our daily lives. Our
inability to meet our housing expenses necessitated in us taking on credit card debt to
maintain our home in which we provide housing for our handicapped son. You can
imagine the anxiety this has caused us in providing for his and our needs. We now
have over $100,000.00 in credit card debt in addition to the interest we have incurred
to allow us to maintain our mortgage and remain in our home. At the time of this
investment we had NO credit card debt! As elderly senior citizens at the age of 82 and
76 our ability to find additional income is extremely limited. We are now at a point of
looking at our belongings to sell to allow us to stay in our home. The emotional stress
of this has taken a fiscal and mental toll on our ability to function. We felt we planned
well for our retirement years and feel robbed by the actions of this crime.” D.E. DOJ0002356.
• “Since the GPB fraud stated, we have lost well over half of our family[’]s net worth
[and] a large portion of our income . . . At 74, I have been unable to retire now. My
wife [] has contracted cancer and has ongoing treatment. And our daughter [], who has
cerebral palsy, has had to ensure the ensuring stress from all of that.” M.F. DOJ0001930.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreifj3ulaoxnrnhbrk7z2gnegme22juwnwnj45xuwopak457jjg2kue)
