"Trump's DOJ, FTC going after 'everyone' facilitating medicalized gender transitions for kids
'There's a very good chance this will stop even in blue states' if DOJ simply prosecutes for fraudulent diagnostic codes, whistleblower says. 'Working on it,' new DOJ consumer protection chief responds.
(. . .)
Practitioners, gender clinics, hospitals, nonprofit advocacy groups, medical associations and drug manufacturers should expect to hear from the DOJ on alleged healthcare fraud, false statements, false billing and Medicaid claims, 'scientifically dubious assertions' used as 'cover' by clinics and Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act violations, a top official said.
(. . .)
The invite-only audience of around 200, including at least a dozen parents and 'survivors' of youth gender transitions, repeatedly applauded as DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle rattled off the target list – 'everyone' in the 'multi-billion-dollar industry of harming our kids' – starting with nearly 20 subpoenas it has issued to gender clinics.
Just outside the workshop on the National Mall, progressive advocacy group Fight for the Future hired a billboard truck to scold the FTC for its extremely dangerous and certainly out-of-agency scope 'workshop' … an ideologically-motivated waste of taxpayer dollars without an opportunity for public comment by members of Congress.'
The workshop was intended as a distraction from the administration's 'failure to do their actual jobs of investigating big tech oligarchs and stopping data brokers from fueling murders,' with FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson 'instead bullying trans kids,' Fight for the Future said.
(. . .)
DOJ is also working with Congress to codify genital-transition procedures on girls as female genital mutilation, which is already prohibited by federal law, and for survivors to gain legal remedies, Mizelle said, urging parents and children to talk to DOJ officials at the workshop if they've been harmed or misled.
Three children's hospitals are reportedly under FBI investigation for female genital mutilation under this definition."

Patty Hartman, a 17-year former Justice Department official fired by AG Pam Bondi on Monday, warned of rising political retribution inside the DOJ: “There used to be a line, used to be a very distinct separation between the White House and the DOJ, because one should not interfere with the work of the other. That line is very definitely gone,” she told CBS News.
"Judge Xinis comes in hot this morning after
DOJ fails to produce the ICE detainer to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia locked up.
She won't take DOJ's word for it that it exists.
"You have taken the presumption of regularity and you’ve destroyed it in my view," she says."

Trump's DOJ is corrupt & incompetent, but in the case for justice, welcomed.

Fired #whistleblower provides #texts and emails to #Congress that bolster accounts of former personal #Drumpf lawyer, telling his new #DOJ underlings to ignore court orders and push #deportation plans, intentionally defying #FederalCourt orders
Sadly, Emil Bove ordering DoJ lawyers to lie to the court and flaunt court orders makes him eminently “qualified” to be a judge — in the eyes of maga.

"'Fascism is expanding': DOJ slammed for 'weaponized' probe of 'Trump’s perceived enemies'
On Wednesday morning, July 9, NBC News' Ken Dilanian confirmed that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has 'opened criminal investigations into the conduct of former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.' Dilanian reported this development on X, formerly Twitter, and during a conversation with MSNBC's Ana Cabera.
Dilanian described Brennan and Comey as 'two of Donald Trump's political foes who have long been the target of MAGA conspiracy theories.'
(. . .)
Since returning to the White House, Trump has filled DOJ with MAGA loyalists — including U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino and Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche."
Emails show: Trump officials searched for ways to paint Abrego Garcia as a criminal & gang "leader" *couldn't find any. He'd a form of protected status granted by an IMM judge in 2019 *deported in Mar (error.)
Trump refused to bring him back to the US for months -defying a SC order. Justified: by supposed MS-13 status.
WB compl:alleged extensive misconduct inside #DOJ -eg: may have to ignore ct orders stopping the removals & tell the courts “fuck you.”

After a different federal judge sharply limited #deportations to “third countries” — places where the immigrants have no prior ties — the #DOJ pressed #DHS ofcls to clarify their view of the judge’s decision to ensure that their legal arguments were consistent.
“My take on these emails is that DOJ leadership & DOJ litigators don’t agree on the strategy. Please keep DHS out of it,” shot back James Percival, a snr DHS adviser.
Judge #Boasberg …has rejected that interpretation of his orders & found probable cause to initiate #contempt proceedings over potential defiance of his rulings. That process has been halted for now by an appeals court.
The messages also revealed tension between #DOJ attorneys & their counterparts at #DHS as they sought to mount a defense of the #Trump admin’s #deportation policies in court.
The messages show that in the hours after #Boasberg’s ruling, #ErezReuveni repeatedly relayed to colleagues that the #immigrants covered by the judge’s order should not be turned over to #ElSalvador. And he later expressed concern that they seemed to have been handed over anyway.
In one of the newly-disclosed emails, the acting head of #DOJ’s Civil Division, Yaakov Roth, told Reuveni & other ofcls that the men were unloaded based on #legal advice given by #EmilBove.
Just prior to Boasberg’s decision, #DOJ officials worried that the effort might be stopped by a #court. That’s when, according to #ErezReuveni, #EmilBove told colleagues that they might have to consider telling the #courts “fuck you.”
After #Boasberg’s decision, Reuveni sent a text message to an unidentified colleague referring back to Bove’s alleged comment: “Guess we are going to say ‘fuck you’ to the court. Super,” he wrote. The colleague responded: “Well, Pamela Jo Bondi is. Not you.”
But the new documents [attached] offer a rare glimpse inside sensitive decision-making moments that have defined the #Trump admin’s fraught relationship w/ the #courts. And they show that #EmilBove — who has faced scrutiny for his role in unraveling the prosecution of NYC Mayor #EricAdams & firing #DOJ officials involved in the prosecution of #Jan6 defendants — has been at the center of nearly every explosive #legal battle of Trump’s second term so far.
…The disclosures to the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, requested by the panel’s #Democrats & shared w/POLITICO, come as the committee prepares to vote on & likely advance #EmilBove’s nomination to a seat on the Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. Bove’s brief but rocky tenure at the #DOJ appears unlikely to derail his nomination, particularly after Sen #ThomTillis (R-NC), a key vote on the panel, suggested Wednesday he was likely to back #Trump’s pick.
The newly-released messages reinforce claims by #whistleblower #ErezReuveni that #EmilBove played a key role in a decision by #Trump admin #immigration ofcls to turn scores of #Venezuelan immigrants over to #ElSalvador despite a US judge’s #CourtOrder not to do so.
The messages show increasing alarm among #DOJ lawyers that the admin had in fact defied court orders & that some ofcls…could face #sanctions for misleading courts.
Internal #DOJ messages bolster claim that #Trump judicial nominee spoke of defying #court orders
#EmilBove, the deputy US Attorney General who has been nominated to be an appellate #judge, is the subject of #whistleblower allegations.
A fired DOJ attorney has provided #Congress with a trove of emails & text messages to corroborate his claims that a controversial Trump judicial nominee—top DOJ official Emil Bove—crudely discussed defying court orders.

The #DOJ has argued that #Trump's order conforms with the #Constitution & has asked Laplante to find that the plaintiffs cannot sue as a #class.
#SCOTUS’ ruling did not address the legal merits of Trump's order, which the Republican president issued as part of his hardline #immigration agenda on his first day back in office in January.
The problem is Kash Patel is under the "direct control" of Donald Trump.
