It's crazy how they bemoan the progressive threat to Constitutional government when Trump is undermining the Constitution left and right.

The people ain't buying it.

Not sure if this fits. But its way away from past practice and 1 step closer to the justice department completely under his control

Apparently, it's "not particularly unusual" :

"Yes, that's the so-called Westfall statue, which says that if someone is an employee of the executive branch or the legislative, and they are sued for a state tort that occurred in the course of them working for the government - of their duties for the government - then they can have it certified to be moved to federal court, and the United States is then substituted as the party," Barr said.

"This is done frequently. It's been done for presidents. It's been done for congressmen. The normal process was followed in this particular case you're talking about.":
