Proposed rule would strip prosecutors of ethical independence and
place conflict decisions solely in the hands of the attorney general

The Trump administration is preparing to upend a foundational safeguard of the Department of Justice, according to three senior administration sources, by proposing a rule that would effectively bar DOJ attorneys from recusing themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest.

The rule, expected to be filed in the Federal Register as early as this week, would grant Attorney General Pam Bondi final authority over all recusals. Under the proposal, career prosecutors and political appointees alike would be required to remain on assigned matters unless personally excused by the attorney general. There will be a period for public comment once the rule appears in the Federal Register.........................




“The President believes that conflicts have been used as a weapon by the deep state to slow-walk his agenda,” said one administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “This rule ensures that the people hired to do a job actually do it.”

Critics counter that the change is tailored to prevent ethical objections from sidelining loyalists tasked with pursuing politically sensitive prosecutions. They point specifically to recently appointed special attorneys such as Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan, whose roles have already triggered judicial scrutiny....................

3. Their license to practice law is independent of the A.G.

That's like a boss at a trucking company telling a driver it's ok to break the speed limit because I need the shipment to arrive sooner.

A driver might lose their job for refusing to speed but the driver will keep their license.

4. Exactly. The AG cannot supersede the Rules of Professional Conduct.

Any prosecutor who does not recuse when the ethics require them to do so is at risk of losing their law license.

5. I agree with what you've said... absolutely.

The Rules of Professional Conduct are not negotiable among ethical lawyers, and the A.G. has no rule over them, I believe. But the real issue is something beyond that... Trump is now doing a "soft" definition of ethics as "Woke" and is now working on getting Ethics demonized as much or more than the rest of WOKE. He renamed the Gulf of Mexico to a name HE chose. He's renamed buildings and institutions as HE wanted them to be known. He's renamed entire departments so that they sound so much like those in "1984." The only legacy he's thinking of leaving is a completely undone and re-imagined United States of America into something HE wants it to be named and defined by. That definition of this country will completely kill the Founders' Great Experiment. As with everything else, ETTD, the country to be included in that. We will be defined as a satellite state of Russia, sovereign in our own right no more; and the whole democratic leaning world against us. It's shameful. But it's very purposeful. He's demented, deranged, and lost in the behavioral issues of frontotemporal dementia. But even so, he has moments of lucidity to know that his emotional needs are not being met, and we are all to blame. Therefore, he will punish us even more because of our failing him.

Any cause or ideal we marched and protested for in the 60's and 70's will be demonized. I see this not only with trump, but with the way the repugs are matching him foot in mouth by foot in mouth. Nixon and the Bush's both hated "the hippies" and what we stood for. Slowly, we were making progress on some levels of our idealized world. The repugs picked up the banner to take us back to the dog-eat-dog days, and damn the hippies once and for all.

6. They'll have to resign...

I wonder how many have already been rehired since the doge purges, these could probably return after the scourge is gone
