Never heard of anything like this. Would love to know if the reason for the change in lawyers is because the existing lawyers refused.

If they won’t tell us, House Judiciary Committee, I and all Americans would like to know. https://t.co/ap4dIjsVuJ

Criminal contempt was viewed as quixotic, and even silly, by many Dems as recently as last month in part because federal prosecutors are unlikely to prosecute their own boss >>> https://t.co/tSyjF2b44b

Barr is now encouraging a lawless president to ignore the Supreme Court.
It's time for the House to get off the can and impeach them both. https://t.co/vtQYygDN6l

I talked to former Justice Dept lawyers about the major shakeup in #CitizenshipQuestion legal team.

“To reassign the trial team at this stage in litigation is — to not put too fine a point on it — insane," former DOJ lawyer Sam Oliker-Friedland saidhttps://t.co/MM1FZIKNlh

“What they’re trying to do now is the textbook definition of a pretext — telling the court, ‘We plan to do this but we don’t know why yet.’ ” -Brennan Center expert @tomTMwolf https://t.co/qFVYdQ48Rk

Wow. Judge Furman isn't letting DOJ lawyers out of the Census case without each lawyer filing a signed and sworn affidavit giving good reasons for withdrawing and promising to remain available to the court. https://t.co/AmiDcv9hf6 pic.twitter.com/BzJ2TLYaaW
