  1. It’s easy to look at the outrageous wink-and-nod lies of the Trump era and assume it came to our nation with Trump. But they come from a long history of police and government lawyers lying, dissembling, and arguing in bad faith to support lawlessness. nytimes.com/2019/09/12/nyregion/police-searches-smelling-marijuana.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

      Every day, countless warrants issue, bails are set, and convictions secured on the strength of government officials openly lying. It’s an open secret. All the participants in our system are aware of it, and in the worst excesses, it is occasionally reined-in. It’s not enough.
