NEW: Harmeet Dhillon swore in 100+ new Civil Rights Division lawyers as "civil rights warriors" for "ALL Americans" — then named exactly none of them. So we did. Court filings let us ID 11. At least 5 arrived with records of misconduct, controversy, or hiring irregularities. 1/

Meet Daniel Flickinger. In 2020 he was forced to resign from an Alabama law firm over a Facebook post mocking George Floyd's murder as "purely hypothetical." He now helps run the DOJ office that polices civil-rights compliance on college campuses. 2/

Meet Eric Neff. At the LA DAs, a True the Vote conspiracy theory led him to prosecute an election-software CEO. The charges were dropped. He was placed on leave. LA paid $5M to settle the wrongful prosecution. He's now chief of the DOJ's Voting Section. 3/ www.justice.gov/crt/media/14...

Meet Greta Gieseke. She was hired as a career trial attorney with 11 months of non-clerkship experience. Then, despite division policy, she was detailed straight to Dhillon's office. She's now counsel on the affirmative-action and CA redistricting suits. 4/ www.welch.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Meet Barry Arrington. He rep'd Sidney Powell in a defamation suit over her election lies. He rep'd a school that refused to let the valedictorian come out in his graduation speech. He now runs the new 2nd Amendment Section, charged with expanding gun rights. 5/ www.justice.gov/crt/second-a...

Sadly, there's a bunch more examples in there, along with links to some excellent reporting. Please check it out. Thanks! 7/7

Yeah, this is the culmination of the Federal Society's nearly half-century-long project of turning civil rights laws and Supreme Court rulings upside-down.

"Federalist", not "Federal"
