Justice Department Torches Its Credibility

Harry Litman: “It’s far easier to lose institutional trust than to rebuild it. Once courts and the public begin to suspect selective enforcement or strategic defiance, credibility does not snap back with a few corrected briefs. It returns only through consistent, disciplined adherence to the law—shown case after case, year after year.”

“It’s unclear if the Department of Justice will ever be able to rebound fully from the damage Bondi and company have inflicted in barely over a year.”
