Lawyerly Integrity in the Trump Administration - Lawfare

Lawyerly Integrity in the Trump Administration - Lawfare
by Professor Jack Goldsmith  (Harvard Law School; Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel from 2003-2004, and Special Counsel to the Department of Defense from 2002-2003.)

The New York Times’s story on “What It Means to Work for Trump,” on top of Jim Comey’s firing last week, got me thinking again about how difficult it is for a lawyer who is a political appointee to act with integrity in the Trump administration. (I limit my comments here to government attorneys, and do not analyze the situation of other political appointees.)
