Ejaz Baluch, fmr lawyer in DOJ’s #CivilRights Division: “Our job was to find the facts that would fit the narrative that the administration already had.”
“…the #DOJ demand letter to #UCLA asked for $1 billion in damages. We thought, $1 billion? They are making that up out of thin air. There is no way the damages we found added up to anything like that amount.”
Dena Robinson, a lawyer in the #CivilRights Division:
“The idea of the investigation was that #PerkinsCoie supposedly engaged in illegal #discrimination against #WhiteMen. But Perkins Coie is an extremely white firm — only 3% of the partners are #Black. When my colleague pointed that out, the leadership didn’t care. They’d already reached their conclusion. They continued instructing my colleague to just find the evidence for it.”
