So Trump is doing it again. He's throwing his DOJ lawyers under the bus. These DOJ lawyers really need to be careful because they may find themselves losing their bar license soon, getting disciplined, getting sanctioned and just having their reputations tarnished. as Donald Trump doesn't give a crap about them. They're like cannon fodder for him.
You know, when you look at this recent New York Times-Siena poll that analyzed the issue of a lot of issues, but also how American people feel about Abrego Garcia, Donald Trump's 21 points underwater. He's negative 21, only 31% of Americans underwater. approve of the way Trump is dealing with the Abrego Garcia situation by defying Supreme Court orders to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia.
So Trump was asked about Abrego Garcia in this recent Time magazine interview. And the Time magazine interviewer said, you know, are you aware that you're defying the court order? It was a nine to zero decision. saying facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. The Time magazine reporter then read from the Supreme Court's order and from the lower court's order.
And then Donald Trump's response was, I leave that to my lawyers. I give them no instruction. And then he says that his lawyers actually told him something very different about what the ruling said. He said that my lawyers did not say that that's what the ruling said. And I rely on what my lawyers ultimately tell me to do. Here's just the questioning.
You committed to complying with all Supreme Court orders. Yeah. When you and I last spoke in April, are you still committed to complying with the Supreme Court order? Sure. I believe in the court system. The Supreme Court ruled nine to zero that you have to bring Abrego Garcia back. You haven't done so. So aren't you disobeying the Supreme Court?
Well, that's not what my people told me, referring to his lawyers. They didn't say it was. They said it was. They said it was nine to nothing or something entirely different. So then the reporter goes, OK, I'll quote from the ruling, quote, the order properly requires the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador. Are you facilitating the release?
What are you doing? And then Trump says, I leave that to my lawyers. I give them no instructions. They feel that the orders said something very much different from what they are saying, but I leave that to my lawyers. If they want, and that would be the Attorney General of the United States and the people that represent the country, I don't make that decision.
