Fired Justice Department official warns we are “driving straight into an abyss” – CBS News

By Scott MacFarlane, Updated on: July 10, 2025 / 7:47 PM EDT / CBS News

A 17-year former Justice Department official is warning of a wave of retribution inside the agency.

Patty Hartman, who served as a top public affairs specialist at the FBI and federal prosecutors’ offices, told CBS News, “The rules don’t exist anymore.”

Hartman, who was fired Monday via a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi, is the fourth person connected to the agency’s work on the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots to be terminated in the past month.

“There used to be a line, used to be a very distinct separation between the White House and the Department of Justice, because one should not interfere with the work of the other,” Hartman told CBS News. “That line is very definitely gone.”

Hartman isn’t a prosecutor, but worked on the District of Columbia U.S. Attorney’s Office public affairs team that distributed news releases about the more than 1,500 Jan. 6 criminal prosecutions.   

Patty Hartman, who worked with the public affairs team on Jan. 6 prosecutions, was fired Monday by Pam Bondi.

BILL MOYERS, 91
Mastodon Post

So sorry to learn of the death of journalist Bill Moyers. He had a remarkable career that was interesting not always in ways he would have wanted. While he was a conscientious and accomplished journalist, his work for Lyndon B. Johnson tarnished his reputation for integrity. Too bad about the LBJ thing. His TV producer, Charlie Rose, went on to be far better known in front of the camera. Long before Rose scuttled his own career evidently permanently, he hosted my favorite television program of any sort ever, CBS News Nightwatch. Bill Moyers presented a series of programs of massive importance to me: "Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth." The quality of Moyers' own comments was mixed but he asked Campbell questions that brought tremendous rewards. One Jacqueline Onassis, of whom you may have heard, suggested that the series be published in book form. The book is of immeasurable value. So, Bill Moyers was somewhat like the heroes in myths who had great successes along with other adventures that went less well but all of it was done on a large, mythic scale. Though I enjoyed Bill Moyers' opinion pieces on CBS, I, personally, will remember him most for making The Power of Myth happen. In my personal opinion, he was a very good man. RiP

#ShariRedstone, the chair & controlling shareholder of #Paramount Global, was recently diagnosed w/thyroid cancer & underwent surgery last month as she navigates a battle over the future of her media empire & a lawsuit filed by #Trump against #CBSNews.

The diagnosis adds a new layer of complexity to the legal & political quagmire Redstone & her company, which controls TV stations, streaming platforms & a movie studio, have been navigating.
