The Shallow State: We told ourselves that we were preventing greater harm to the country. But we obscured the reality of a Trump presidency from the public. We gave voters a false sense of what kind of president Trump was. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/sarah-isgur-shallow-state-trump-doj/2020/12/23/e843da1a-4561-11eb-a277-49a6d1f9dff1_story.html
Some unreported nuggets: A year after I was removed from my post, PPO interviewed Justice Department appointees and asked whether “there were any more Sarah Isgurs in the department.”
At least 4 times, someone from the White House told department officials to fire me. The first time, the White House tried to replace me with a conservative commentator who would go on to work for a “news organization” funded and controlled by the Russian government.
And then there was the job interview itself. As I stood in front of the Resolute Desk, the president opened a folder with a list of all the negative things I had said on TV about him. “Smart, but a bad person morally?” he asked aloud.
These weren’t members of some secret cabal bent on thwarting the president behind his back. They were people who upheld their oath to the Constitution to his face. They were trying to prevent harm but ....
now, more than 74 million people have voted to reelect a president who refuses to honor our most basic of values — the transfer of power based on the will of the American electorate.
It’s hard to imagine a greater harm.
