我观察到美国司法部存在严重的人才流失问题,这导致了工作人员人手不足,工作效率低下,并最终酿成了错误。最近在纽约发生的案件就是一个典型的例子,纽约南区检察官办公室的律师在处理纽约州拥堵收费案时,意外地将一份包含律师-客户特权建议的内部备忘录上传到了公共文件中。这份备忘录批评了交通部的策略,并建议改变策略。交通部随后公开指责其律师玩忽职守,甚至暗示他们故意破坏案件,这体现了特朗普政府内部的严重矛盾和政治斗争。 这个案件本身与纽约州实施的拥堵收费政策有关,该政策旨在减少城市交通拥堵,并取得了一定的成效。然而,特朗普政府却试图取消这项政策。交通部律师在提交文件中错误地上传了一份内部备忘录,该备忘录中律师对案件策略提出了批评,认为法官不会接受交通部的论点,并建议改变策略。 律师无意泄露律师-客户保密文件的情况在法律实践中很常见,通常可以通过采取措施来补救。然而,这次事件中,交通部并没有与律师合作解决问题,而是立即公开谴责律师,并暗示他们故意破坏案件。这种反应是不合适的,也加剧了政府内部的矛盾。 我认为,这次事件的根本原因是特朗普政府上任以来,司法部人才流失严重,导致工作人员疲惫不堪,工作压力巨大,最终导致了错误的发生。此外,政府内部的政治斗争也加剧了这一问题。 我同情这三位律师,我不认为他们是故意犯错的。然而,交通部的反应却加剧了这一事件的影响,并进一步暴露了特朗普政府内部的混乱和政治斗争。

Shownotes Transcript

Open warfare has broken out in the Trump Administration as the Dept of Transportation goes on the pubic attack of its own lawyers at the DOJ office in New York, claiming that they are trying to intentionally sabotage Trump’s own case against New York State by intentionally filing on the Court’s public filing system a secret confidential memo of client advise that criticized the Trump position and said it would not work with the Judge. Michael Popok looks at the mistake and what this indicates about the brain drain and hollowing out of talent in the DOJ, whose reputation under Trump and Bondi is in tatters.
