Trump’s revenge:

The Justice Department said Monday that it fired several career lawyers involved in prosecuting Donald Trump, escalating the president’s campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies.

The employees worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation that led to now-dismissed indictments against Trump over his handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the lead-up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Two extremely serious crimes that he committed basically in front of our faces, especially the attempted theft of the election.

As a country we’re rolling around in the mire like a herd of hyperactive pigs.

“Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” a Justice Department official wrote to NBC News. “In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government.”

Oh it’s the prosecutors who are weaponizing government! Here I thought it was Chief Criminal Trump.

This is all so shaming. We’re all in filth up to our eyeballs. Only a week in, 200+ weeks to go.

Former Justice Department lawyer Julie Zebrak, an expert in federal employment law, said career civil servants cannot be summarily fired. “They have civil service rights. They have due process rights,” she said. 

If the Justice Department is arguing that the lawyers are not performing properly, they must be subject to what is known as progressive discipline, she said, including warnings and notice. They must be allowed to hire lawyers before they lose their jobs. “There is a reason people say it’s so hard to fire federal employees,” she said.

Trump will do it anyway. It’s a dictatorship.
