To be clear, this is someone who used to do precisely the kind of GOP bullshit he’s describing telling us unequivocally that it’s bullshit and liberals should not treat it as serious. (I’m not saying this critically or ironically, this perspective is helpful.)

This is how in thrall they are to Trump. He would rather push right up to the edge of jail and maybe cross it than upset Trump by telling the admin they can’t do the thing the judge ordered them not to or by threatening to resign

There is no middle ground when the admin comes after an institution. You must resist and fight. Not because it’s an emotional “us vs. them” thing, but because acquiescence makes it easier for the admin to punish the others. 1/2
