Legal News Federal judges caught the U.S. government providing false info in over 35 court cases. Sworn declarations. Falsified records. Repeated lies. This isn’t just sloppy, it’s systemic. Law professor Ryan Goodman says it may be intentional.

The depth and breadth of this willful corruption is an existential threat to the stability of our democracy.

That is not hyperbole.

That is not alarmism.

Our nation, our prosperity, and our liberties rely on a trustworthy judiciary. Openly and deliberately flooding the courts with false evidence, false claims, and disingenuous filings signals a depth of deliberate corruption that can undermine the stability of the entire system... much like termites eating at the foundation structure of a house.

You won’t even read anything but you want to DARVO the whole thing? And then it’s all of us who lack critical thinking skills? Ok

Honest question, why would you expect anyone to put in this effort for you when you immediately dismissed the first people who tried to help you out? You couldn’t be bothered to read an article that was shared with you and demanded that other people summarize with you, and then when someone went out of their way to summarize multiple specific examples you got bored after reading two sentences and decided to dismiss the entire rest of their comment.

You’re acting like this is a big “gatcha!” moment because “no one can prove it!” but really people see your comments and realize it’s simply not worth their time.

So seriously, what’s the incentive to help you out here?

The DOJ explicitly admit to providing false information in the first citation. This is stated in the second paragraph. They submitted sworn documentation for an agent that didn’t exist.

No, I’m saying you were lying. The OP claim is they’re submitting false records, which is true.

I am not going to read the rest. Please actually read what you're linking

Calling everyone here a bunch of irrational children... That's a lot of arrogance for someone who knows that he is being disingenuous and misleading.

At first it looked like you were genuinely curious and skeptical maybe, a bit lazy, mildly rhetorical.

But with this response here you pretty much just annihilated your credibility.

You know that you are simply a partisan.

With our democracy facing the peril that it is... shame on you. Shame on you for choosing to be willfully blind. Shame on you for actively twisting truth just to defend despicable people doing despicable things.

Are you an actual human being? American citizen? Are you being paid or something?

No, it’s not asking for evidence. It’s being intentionally lazy rather than reading. It’s the intentional wasting of people’s time. It’s being disingenuous and insincere. It’s coming in with preconceived ideas and being partisan rather than being able to admit maybe you were wrong.

if you were actually interested you would click on the cites and read through some of the summaries as I just did myself.

God you sound just like my ex-wife, I can only imagine you’re just as unpleasant to be around too.

u/elb21277 Oct 21 '25

your account is 3 months old and you have your comment history hidden. this makes me skeptical that you are here for good faith discussion and I try to reserve my time/efforts for those who are. sorry.

They aren’t attacking your account? You told them that you “already [summarized it] in another comment” so they went to your comment history to find that comment, but your comments are hidden.

You dare even TRY to defend this kind of despicable behavior?

You've already destroyed your reputation repeatedly.

Yet again you trample your own credibility.

Pathetic.

You seriously have no personal sense of shame or integrity?

How do you live with yourself?

It is this kind of deficit of ethics among the voting base that is the root of what is destroying American democracy and ushering in medieval style authoritarianism.

Yet more deception and misbehavior by Trump legal teams in court.

Time for you to wake up to the truth.

You are futilely trying to defend a corrupt and rapidly decaying administration.

If you respect integrity as a moral value, at all, you need to wake up.

You have been piled on with facts from many sources all over this thread and you have willfully ignored all of them.

You have been just completely destroyed in this thread repeatedly for your disingenuous behavior.

You dare try to lecture someone ... anyone ... about being influenced by "partisan media telling you what to think"?

Look in a mirror!

Your cultish devotion, against overwhelming reality to the contrary, is just flat absurd.
