‘Ride it out’: Trump resisters urged to stay in federal government

Anti-Trump federal government lawyers are being begged to “ride it out” in the new administration, with activists encouraging them to act as a bulwark against the incoming president’s policies and actions.

Those who feel they cannot remain on the inside, meanwhile, are being urged to look for jobs in Democrat-led state governments where they can find other perches to battle against Mr. Trump.

The legal specialists doled out the advice on an American Constitution Society webinar last week, titled “Should I stay or should I go,” which pondered the decisions facing federal employees who aren’t thrilled to be working for Mr. Trump.
