Trump's Bureau of Land Management director is serving illegally and refuses to leave his post

It isn’t that kind of crime. The thing he did wrong (and arguably continues to do wrong) is pretend he is the boss.

What he signed as ‘orders’ probably aren’t valid, no different than if any ding dong signed the order.

A procedural error, but nothing here would stop them from making the same bad decisions with a different captured regulator signing the orders legitimately.
