“Govt lawyers made the unusual move”
good grief, Trump era journalism is broken
what the DOJ is doing here *has no precedence in American history*; nytimes.com/2020/09/08/nyr…
“highly unusual move”
it’s almost hard to describe how badly the NYT undersells this shocking story
and not 1 newspaper will call for Trump’s resignation the way they demanded Bill Clinton leave office
you think if Nixon has appointed DOJ to defend him during watergate the NYT would’ve called that merely “unusual”
this is how the press helps normalize authoritarian rule.
