Speaking of the Free Press....

 ...they have a profile of Harmeet Dhillon, the forthright and effective DOJ Civil Rights Division director. 

“I have sued numerous hospitals and medical institutions for butchering young girls under the guise of a lie, a Mengele-like lie that you can change your sex,” she told me, referring to the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who experimented on his patients at Auschwitz. “You cannot change your sex. That’s a lie,” she said. “Selling children that lie harms thousands of American children and families forever. So we’re making it difficult for them to do that.”

Those are uncompromising words. But Dhillon speaks them with barely perceptible emotion. “The strength of Harmeet is that she has a calm fearlessness about her,” friend and right-wing provocateur Dinesh D’Souza told me. “She doesn’t come across as a wild woman. She has a sobriety about her, but she is hardcore. That sobriety is tactically directed at achieving results. You take a ferocious point of view, but it’s presented in a decorous legalese.”

Since Dhillon was confirmed in April, around half of the career attorneys in her office have resigned. Welch put the number at 368 in his July 23 memo. At a Senate oversight hearing at the end of that month, Senator Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California, was nearly apoplectic. “There’s been a mass exodus from the Civil Rights Department,” he said. “It is just a shell of what it used to be; they’re being canceled; they’re being canceled, by you, by the department.”

Under the old rules of Washington, a tongue-lashing like that from a senator—even from the opposing party—would be an ominous warning.

Dhillon doesn’t see it that way. When I asked for her reaction to the mass resignations, she said, “Great. Excellent.”

Indeed! Seeing a part of the Federal Government eviscerated is usually good news, but most especially when it is a part that focuses the power of the government against American citizens and institutions for what are essentially political reasons. She's still doing plenty of that, probably more than I'd like; but a great deal less, and in an environment that is a great deal less welcoming to people who feel like it is their calling to be moral Crusaders against their own country.
