“Breaking News.” That’s how The Washington Post begins the story whose headline read, “The Trump administration task force charged with investigating antisemitism on Ivy League campuses pressured universities into punitive settlements despite little to no evidence of systemic abuse, according to a whistleblower.”
“Little to no evidence of systemic abuse,” you say? According to a “whistleblower,” forsooth. More like a “whistling-in-the-wind blower.” You can read the 25-page complaint here. It posted on August 17. The next day, Johnny on the Spot “I-Hate-Trump” Rep. Jamie Raskin was on the case with a seven-page screed addressed to Harmeet K. Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.
Is “screed” too strong? You tell me. Here’s a sample:
[Y]our “investigation” into antisemitism was fake, a pre-baked frame-up operation thoroughly political in nature, Before an actual investigation took place and regardless of what you actually found, the whole project was designed to harass professors and administrators at major universities, to curtail their freedom of speech and academic freedom, and to strip targeted institutions of hundreds of millions of dollars in grants that they had already been awarded on the merits of their applications. This sham investigation is and will remain a shameful stain on the record of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Civil Rights Division and represents a clear and present danger to American academic preeminence in the world.
“A shameful stain!” “A clear and present danger!” Can anyone take this joker seriously?
