““It is clear that the individuals involved were working under a ‘good faith’ assumption that their actions were in concert with the President’s wishes,” Bosserman said. “No civil servant should have to face criminal charges for faithfully carrying out government policy.

Discipline would be undermined if each employee had to wonder whether what he was doing is legal instead of just following orders.””
