This outrageous piece demonstrates what the Trump DOJ is up against not just in the media but within the ranks of the DOJ and federal judges. First--shame on Barrett for whitewashing the evil Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) mob which is not a "student group" but a campus terror organization that has called for the destruction of both Israel and western civilization INCLUDING THE U.S. CUAD has terrorized students and administrators at Columbia and Barnard College for over a year; at least one CUAD event featured a member of the PLO. (The event was banned on campus so the wannabe Hamasters conducted the panel virtually.) But of course only at the NYT is the real villain the Trump DOJ--specifically Emil Bove, a top DOJ official who ordered an investigation into CUAD after masked student terrorists stormed a Barnard building in February and attacked a security guard. Bove instructed prosecutors to compile a list of CUAD members--but he was once again met with defiance by DOJ lawyers. (This also happened when Bove sought to drop the indictment against NY Mayor Eric Adams.) "The prosecutors were told by superiors that Mr. Bove was seeking a list so the information could be shared with immigration agents, these people said. Inside the civil rights division, prosecutors came to fear that their criminal investigation was a pretext to facilitate an intimidation and deportation campaign by the Trump administration against student protesters, these people said. Prosecutors refused to compile such a list that could be given to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, these people said." Now once upon a time, career government lawyers refusing to follow orders from a superior to investigate a known campus terror group seeking the destruction of the U.S. and involved in an anti-Semitic movement across the U.S. perhaps funded by our enemies would receive widespread condemnation in the press. But not so with Barrett and the NYT. 🧵...
