Bondi fires DOJ ethics chief

[Crepitus]

Pretty small in the grand scheme of things, especially since they obviously haven't been consulting him anyway, but definitely a sign of the times.

Hey, he may be glad to go. Anyone with any ethics at all would be very uncomfortable in the tRump justice department.

Obviously not needed.

Tirrell’s removal is separate—but potentially related—to the roughly 20 employees involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations, according to numerous media reports, were also fired July 11.

Tirrell advised Smith’s office on ethics matters during his criminal prosecutions of President Donald Trump, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to share a sensitive personnel matter. That includes Tirrell approving Smith’s receipt of $140,000 in pro bono legal fees from Covington & Burling that he disclosed upon concluding his investigation.

Why was he even still there? Obviosity his sense of "ethics" was totally FUBAR.

Good, there's another six-figure salary savings for the taxpayer.

The term ethics does not compute in the minds of Trump or Bondi. Or to you idiot MAGA cultists.

The Epstein threads keep getting shut down, because the lack of verifiable facts.

That's the entire point of the Epstein issue. The lack of verifiable facts. We should be able to discuss the lack of those, because it's the crux of the conversation.

They get shut down because they are all repeat of each other. Trump sure suckered people into believing the facts would be released.

Yes, and if there were verifiable facts they would have been leaked long ago.

There were "ethics" during the Merrick Garland DOJ? Who knew! (eye roll)

Only Republicans must follow strict ethics. The two sets of rules one for Reps and one for Dems has been in place for decades.
