    Keep this in mind when Trump administration folks go on TV shows this weekend. This is what they say when they're actually accountable for their words in front of a judge.https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1010585588809035777 …

    Pressed by a judge for info about how the Trump admin is carrying out the president's order on family separations, a Justice Department lawyer had few concrete answers Friday: "I don't have anything to submit on that today," the lawyer said. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/justice-department-border-separation-trump-executive-order?utm_term=.dgx5gGgXz …

        This is a fundamental misunderstanding not only of the law and representation generally but specifically of the ways in which the Sessions Justice Dep't has handled its litigation obligations over the past year and a half. https://twitter.com/dansolomonza/status/1010591433890390018 …

        DOJ has been remarkably adept at keeping on top of the flurry of activity — both incoming from Trump and the agencies and outgoing in terms of new policies from Sessions himself. When they don't have an answer, it's almost always intentional or there is no answer.

        Note: The point here, btw, is not that "anyone who does say something is lying," as that commenter claimed I was suggesting. Rather, it is that questions should be raised about, and proof should be sought of, claims made that are not ones that they are willing to say to a court.

        Replying to @chrisgeidner

        Right, because a random DOJ lawyer telling a court he has not been briefed so has nothing to submit means anyone who does say something is lying. Sound logic.

        This ain’t traffic court. US Attorneys are not exactly selected at “random” and generally are the most prepared, informed and exceptional attorneys practicing in the country. He has no concrete answers because there are none to be had right now.

        I personally witnessed three family separations yesterday in McAllen. Minor siblings separated from adult siblings.

        call me naive - and if that is what allows me to stoke my own flame of hope, i am fine with it - but this judge isn't going to go for the DOJ's bullshit.
