So what happened to DOJ lawyers? @debpearlstein.bsky.social argues that they were long perceived as being at the top of the profession. But when partisanship started paying off, it created an incentive loop that helps explain where we are now.

"We don't want the administration to be using this tragedy as a way to go after protected speech.
