DOGE v. OSC
🔴 UPDATE: March 6, 2025
The Trump administration has successfully crushed another check on its power—not by winning in court, but by outlasting its opponent. Former U.S. Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger has dropped his legal fight to regain his post after being unlawfully removed by Trump. Facing long odds and a stacked judiciary, Dellinger admitted that the fight was unwinnable, highlighting a core strategy of the Trump regime: win by exhaustion, crush resistance through attrition, and dismantle government accountability piece by piece.
🚨 Key Developments:
Dellinger Bows Out – After being fired without cause, Dellinger challenged his removal in court. But after an appeals court ruled in Trump’s favor and the Supreme Court was unlikely to intervene, he dropped the case. The law was on his side, but raw power prevailed.
OSC Now Under Trump’s Control – The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is responsible for protecting whistleblowers and enforcing federal ethics laws. With Dellinger out, Trump’s enforcers are free to gut protections and punish dissent.
A Playbook for Dismantling Oversight – This follows a familiar pattern: illegally fire watchdogs, drag out court battles, and let exhaustion do the rest. By the time legal challenges play out, the damage is already done.
🔍 Why This Matters:
Silencing Whistleblowers – With OSC under his control, Trump can target federal employees who resist corruption, turning the agency meant to protect whistleblowers into a tool for their persecution.
Rule of Law Undermined – The law explicitly protects independent watchdogs like Dellinger from political firings. Trump ignored the law and got away with it—not through legal justification, but through sheer persistence.
A Warning to All Federal Agencies – This is about more than one man. Every federal watchdog, from ethics offices to inspectors general, has now been put on notice: fight back, and Trump will bury you in legal hell until you break.
🚨 The Bottom Line:
The Trump administration isn’t even pretending to follow the law—it’s daring the system to stop it, knowing that exhaustion is its greatest weapon. Dellinger’s defeat wasn’t a legal victory for Trump. It was a victory for raw, unchecked power. The strategy is simple: drag out legal battles, sap resources, and let time do the dirty work. America’s government watchdogs are being dismantled—not only in dramatic purges, but through the slow grind of attrition.
