The scumbag lawyer who Trump replaced the scumbag lawyer William Barr with, Jeffrey Rosen is yet another scumbag product of Harvard Law School, joining other scum such as the woman who never opens her mouth without a flagrant, shameless lie come out, Kayleigh McEnany, Ted Cruz, Alan Dershowitz and so many others who lead me to say that Harvard may have likely produced as many career criminals by percent as any major prison in the United States. It's clear that the criminals Harvard produces are generally the really big ones, the kind of criminals who Victoria Gotti noted were bigger gangsters who had higher body counts than the type her family were.
Granted they produce other people like Katie Porter who are the opposite of criminals and many others who are merely not criminals and thugs but it's clear that Harvard isn't in the business of instilling morals into its graduates, law school or other. Nor do they apparently much care about the moral character of those they credential or their integrity. And I do think it comes down to a matter of deep integrity, or rather, a lack of it.
I have noted how many of the merely non-criminals of the kind who get asked on MSNBC, many the product of Harvard or other big name, prestigious law schools, even up to the time William Barr was named as Trump's third Attorney General rather stupidly and naively declared that that made thug was going to be better than the two pieces of crap who preceded him due to his being a good-ol'-boy member of the DC legal establishment, an "institutionalist" of the kind his good buddy Robert Mueller was said to be. Well, I didn't go to an Ivy and I didn't go to Harvard Law but as soon as I heard that I knew it was bullshit and I'm sure I said so at the time. And anyone who had any knowledge of Barr in the Bush I administration and the Bush II regime had to have known he was a scumbag, yet as long as he could do so and not officially get charged with a crime, being a scumbag, even enabling some massive law-breaking by the Bush crime family, made him pristine and pure enough to be a good buddy with the Atticus Finch impersonator, Mueller.
Lawyers will, on occasion, complain about the bad reputation they have, they will complain about the contempt so many have for the legal system and the judiciary and the administration of the law. The clean, soft handed sleaziness of lawyers and the legal profession, them overlooking the immorality and, probably more damaging amorality of their daily professional lives has earned that for all of the above. And, like any profession, the idea that lawyers are going to reform any of it is as stupid an idea as that the police are ever going to get rid of the bad cops or that there is honor among thieves and thugs.
It's as unlikely as Harvard Law retracting the credentials it hands out to scum like Rosen and McEnany, Cruz, the Dersh, no matter how much that helps them in their careers as big time thugs and liars.
P.S. I started wondering how much of a role Harvard and what would become the Ivy League played in the thinking of those who would frame the disaster of a Constitution as I was writing this and looked up the Northerner "founder" who has come, for me, to embody so much of the sleeze of that body of rich, white men, Elbert Gerry, the one whose early political gamming of the Constitutional system gives his name to one of the most sleazy of anti-democratic practices, the gerrymander. I looked him up and, yep, he was a Harvard product. Which led me to look up other scumbags of that generation. I know it won't mean much to people not from Maine but James Bowdoin, for whom the College here is named, the scumbag governor of Massachusetts whose rich man favoring policies touched off Shay's Rebellion (the thing that scared the slave-owners and Northern oligarchs such as Gerry into writing the Constitution), yet another Harvard product.
