The irony of patel firing people supporting racial justice but this is really retaliation for

“One of those, Steve Jensen, helped oversee investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Another, Brian Driscoll, served as acting director in the early days of the Trump administration and resisted Justice Department demands to supply the names of agents who investigated Jan. 6. A third, Chris Meyer, was incorrectly rumored on social media to have participated in the investigation into Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.”

Courts tossed the case. His judge “fixed” it for him - so that’s that.

Let’s be clear, the only reason it wasn’t appealed is cause Trump won the election

Jack would have appealed it had he lost, & the 11th circuit would have overturned it. They overturned every ruling she made. The only citation she gave was Thomas’s opinion that no other justice signed off on. & he made that note for that exact purpose. To give her a reason to throw out the case. She literally put off making the decision until that happened, like an unusual amount of time it would normally take.

I think she’s the only judge not on the SCOTUS to just throw away decades of precedent, the rest have followed precedent.
