Judge Wolf Roasts Trump: From Ford to Furious Trump-Takedown
KEY POINTS
- ā¢Mark Wolf resigned as a federal judge, criticizing Trump for using the law for partisan purposes.
- ā¢In his op-ed, Wolf expressed concern over Trump's treatment of adversaries versus friends and donors.
- ā¢Wolf stated he could no longer remain silent about the White House's assault on the rule of law.
Mark Wolf, the Massachusetts federal judge appointed back when mullets were cool (1985), just dropped his gavel and resignation letter simultaneously last Friday, revealing in a Sunday Atlantic op-ed that Trump treats the law like his personal Netflix queue ā cherry-picking investigations to avoid friends and donors while bingeing enemies. Wolf, who survived the aftermath of Watergate break-ins in the 70s DOJ, says Trumpās legal conduct makes Nixon look like a sneaky kid playing hide-and-seek. Calling out Trump's routine disregard for DOJ's own 'beyond reasonable doubt' rule, Wolf declared silence intolerable and plans to morph into a justice warrior spokesperson. Meanwhile, the White House's Abigail Jackson fired back that judges with 'personal agendas' should at least RSVP with a resignation before whining, proving political drama is truly bipartisan performance art.
