Gonzales has been in hot water on Capitol Hill for a while, after repeatedly denying and then admitting he was lying about an affair with a married staffer who later committed suicide in exceedingly grisly and tragic fashion.

After all, you get lifetime job security, great pay and benefits, thousands of dollars in gifts, entry into an elite club of fellow justices - oh, and the ability to shape the country as we know it.

If you are a lawyer, are interested in being an AUSA, and support President Trump and anti-crime agenda, DM me. We need good prosecutors. And DOJ is hiring across the country. Now is your chance to join the mission and do good for our country.- Chad Mizelle (@chad_mizelle) January 31, 2026

I wouldn't have described former special counsel Jack Smith that way; maybe "depressed." But maybe that's projection. Smith has been defiantly asking House Republicans to let him testify publicly about his investigations and indictments of Donald Trump. On Thursday, rather unexpectedly, they allowed it. Also unexpectedly, he did not seem defiant. He seemed resigned to the futility of his cause, and the likelihood that he and his colleagues would continue to be persecuted, if not prosecuted, for their work.

This is the policy the Trump administration uses to banish immigrants to countries that are not their home countries, and to which they often have no connection whatsoever. The Trump administration does this without giving people notice of where they were being expelled, or an opportunity to object to being expelled there. That clearly violates the Convention Against Torture, which bars the government from deporting people to any country in which there is substantial reason to believe they will be tortured or killed.
