Sessions pick as AG could spark exodus from civil rights division
Politico ^ | November 18, 2016 | Josh Gerstein

Donald Trump’s decision to nominate Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general is being met with alarm at the Justice Department’s civil rights division and could trigger an exodus there, former officials said Friday. Longtime lawyers in the unit that enforces voting rights laws, conducts investigations into alleged police abuses and prosecutes hate crimes were already on edge about what Trump’s victory would mean for their mission, but the selection of Sessions pushed those fears to another level, former officials said.

Let us fervently pray DOJ is drained. A potential Harry Reid racketeering Grand Jury was blocked by DOJ.

By exodus, he means they will leave?

Good. Saves Trump the trouble of having to handout pink slips.

People make choices... this choice falls into the area of “holding my breath and stomping my feet if I don’t get my way”...

They can quit or they can stay - it’s a free country.

He already showed his even-handedness as AG of Alabama. Good choice to make the leftists crazy and to bring order to a very damaged justice system.

It’s called buying on the rumor, selling on the news. They won’t leave. I hope Trump says that he will accept their resignations, if you get my drift.

That “exodus” would be a big plus. I’d call it a “retreat from defeat”. Maybe they’ll get some time back in a Dept of Justice when they are indicted and interviewed for there many, many crimes.

Good. When they exit on their own, we don’t have to pay them unemployment.

That department within the DOJ is not needed. No Constitutional requirement. Furthermore, the Clinton's demonstrated what needs to be done, as in what they did in 1993. Fire all 93 DOJ attorneys.

I’m getting slightly winded from all of this winning....

Agree. Suddenly there is light appearing at the end of the tunnel. This Obama nightmare is about to be over.

I notice they didn’t mention voter fraud in that list. Guess that doesn’t infringe on anyone’s rights.

I love your suggestions. Obama appointees were more political operatives than competent leaders.

The ones that don’t leave should be fired. Anyone who is ideologically opposed to Trump should be out. The worst kind are the termites who stay in their positions and keep eating away at the framework of good government.
