The entire DoJ is ethically deficient in almost every politics-tinged case. Opposing lawyers have a duty to report ethics violations to the appropriate bar disciplinary authority. See ABA Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 8.3, generally in effect in every state.
DoJ lawyers are public officials withing the meaning of comment 7 to Rule 8.4, and have a greater duty to act ethically.
Disciplinary Boards must act promptly to protect the legal system from attack by this lawless administration. If they're afraid, they should resign and let serious people take over.
Join Indivisible - https://indivisible.org/ - It’s run by former congressional staffers who know how things work in Washington. These folks have an amazing level of determination, practical knowledge, and hope. Those demonstrations against Musk & Trump around the country have been organized by dozens of local Indivisible chapters. They do a Zoom every Thursday that lays out action steps. Their next focus is to identify vulnerable GOP Senators – the traitors who confirmed every dangerous cabinet head – who are coming up for re-election soon…and make sure they are voted out of office.
Speak out against the GOP’s latest attempt at voter suppression. Tell your Representatives and Senators to stop the ironically-named ”SAVE” act. Up to 34% of voting-age women don't have documents proving citizenship with their current legal name because when they married, they likely took their husband’s surname. This could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. And that’s the whole point. HR 22 would need to be passed by both the House and Senate.
Also tell your Congress people to not give Trump one inch – on anything. (Even some Democratic Senators have, shockingly, voted to confirm dangerous Cabinet heads.)

"Martin’s disdain for the rule of law is shockingly comprehensive and his relevant legal experience is egregiously limited. He’s never been a prosecutor before. Instead, he was a rightwing radio host." WOW!!! Powerful, extremely thorough, article. Thank you so much.
Trump has his new Roy Cohn.
