Democrats in Virginia denounced the action as a partisan move aimed at helping former President Donald J. Trump undercut the investigation of the Capitol riot.

they are focusing on this guy cuz he is a J6 investigator.

the VA AG fired a whole bunch of State funded University counsels, not just this guy.

Not that this firing is a bad thing, but why does the Virginia Attorney General have any say in who is the chief counsel for the University of Virginia?

State university and thus a state employee?

I’m just guessing, but State employed attorneys are probably employed by the Virginia Dept of Justice whose head is the Attorney General...

I THINK IT WAS A “PARTISAN MOVE” TO APPOINT THIS GUY FOR THE JOB.

Ever think of that, New York Slimes?

When I was a kid, my father constructed a highly polished cement surface that served as a shuffleboard court. I have fond memories of playing several rounds with my friends, but my favorite memory is from one of our elderly neighbors. They were a sweet couple from Poland, and whenever they would push a disc hard enough to score a point, they would shake their fists and yell with a thick accent:
“Right in the Fuhrer’s face!”
It yet remains as my favorite response to a libtard take-down.

He’s not doing anything that the dems (smartly) do everytime they are in power. It’s about time the Rs clued in on how to do things their way.
