Hermet Dillon, now the US Attorney General under Trump and running the Civil Rights Office, interviewed Tucker Carlson, who is sometimes engaging and outrageous.
Dillon tells Carlson that DOJ’s Civil Rights Division is a well-known liberal and that hundreds of lawyers have left when he made it clear that he would coordinate his coordination with President Trump. Stuck people actually held “crying sessions” and expressed their misfortune in the new reality.
It’s like a bunch of liberal college students who have created a safe space. It’s just pathetic.
via partial transcripts True clear politics:
Tucker Carlson: It’s truly evil, and it makes you think, maybe we just burn the system and start again. thank you. Your Attorney General is one of my biggest appointments from my perspective in this administration, running the civil rights division, but what was it like when you showed up? When you got there, what did you find?
Harmter Dillon: Well, Tucker, first of all, I would like to say thank you for welcoming me here. The Civil Rights Division is like the wings of the Department of Justice’s Color Revolution. Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, there are career lawyers who are very focused on a particular agenda. And when I show up, or when the president is elected, I should say there are over 400 lawyers in the civil rights department. And since the staff has about 200 people, there are about 600 people in total…
Tucker Carlson: That is the definition of the deep state of what you just described. That’s really. Elections have no effect. It’s like there’s no way to control these people. They act completely independent of the democratic system. So there’s the problem there.
Harmter Dillon: Well, that’s what I found. And you responded to my notes, of course, they began to leak to the press. They began to spend an unfortunate time. They invited supervisors, political supervisors to claim that they were unhappy. We got points. And they had crying sessions, fighting sessions, crying sessions with DOJ.
The entire interview is interesting, but if you want to see the part about the crying session, it’s at 6:00.

What Dillon explains here speaks to the volume of the kind of people that have been embedded in our government for many years. This is one of the reasons why Doge was so much needed.
