Long-time Department of Justice (DOJ) employee Joshua Stueve sent his letter of resignation citing "an unbearably toxic work environment" as the reason. "The last four years under President Biden's leadership were the best of my illustrious career at the DOJ. I felt a common bond with my colleagues working to protect the nation from the predatory intentions of Donald Trump. Sadly, those efforts failed when Trump seized power in the November election. Still, I hoped I could continue that effort from inside the belly of the beast, but the relentless demand to report on my activities every week--what I did and why--was the last straw."
"As one of DOJ's public spokespersons I enjoyed announcing and defending each new indictment DOJ filed against Trump," Stueve nostalgically recalled. "Trump's indictment for mishandling classified documents was my favorite. Never before has such a high-ranking government official so blatantly endangered the nation's security. The very idea that classified files could be safely stored in an ex-presidents home was utterly irresponsible. The attempt to overturn his landslide loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election and instigation of an insurrection was clownish, but deadly. We thought we had enough evidence to put Trump in prison for the rest of his life, but the inevitable slowness of the wheels of justice in our courts postponed decisive action too long."
"Though I have served under previous presidents of both parties, none of them came into office with the idea of dismantling so much of the important functions of the government," Stueve lamented. "Now we have a previously unheard of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) second-guessing everything the government has done since the New Deal, questioning every expansion and every expenditure, every new hire. This is not the kind of America I want to live in."
Presidential advisor Elon Musk praised Stueve's resignation, calling it "a most appropriate action toward our goal of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the federal government. The DOJ's lawfare against a political opponent is not a legitimate government function. Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for that kind of abuse of power. The habits and behaviors that have accreted like barnacles on the ship of state for generations need to be removed one way or another. Self-removals like Mr. Stueve's are less painful than involuntary removals. He has finally done the taxpayers a good deed."
This guy is suffering from adjective overload. bye bye
He felt his mission was to protect the nation from DJT? And he’s acting surprised by being asked to account for what he does in his job every week? And he thinks people should see him as a victim?
WHOA One of us is really out of touch with reality. Is it him or is it me?
“I felt a common bond with my colleagues working to protect the nation from the predatory intentions of Donald Trump.”
And that says it all. Instead of working within the system that is flawed all over the place, this guy openly admits to being part of the group, or more than that, targeting a common citizen that is no longer tied to the federal goivernment except through retirement money and can’t have any effect as to the safety of the citizens.
Passed by the Senate on June 8, 1866, and ratified two years later, on July 9, 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States,” including formerly enslaved people, and provided all citizens with “equal protection under the laws,” extending the provisions of the Bill of Rights to the states. It fell in line with the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (14 Stat. 27–30, enacted April 9, 1866, reenacted 1870) which was the first United States federal law to define citizenship and affirm that all citizens are equally protected by the law.
Can we say Trump vs. the United States government? And the one doing the suit will be his wife.

“Never before has such a high-ranking government official so blatantly endangered the nation’s security. The very idea that classified files could be safely stored in an ex-presidents home was utterly irresponsible.”
I guess it was relentless for him to name 5taasks he did last week. AMF.
Toxic = They are making me actually work.
Is he referring to Biden? Nah.
Moron employee.
His job was to protect the Corvette.
When Trump “seized” power in November? You mean he was elected?
What a big baby.
Gee who ever heard of reporting to your boss on what you did? What a hardship. I’m sure he won’t have to do that outside the DoJ:-) What an ass wipe.
I think this reporting requirement is nonsense. It accumulates an unimaginable amount of date that can never be adequately analyzed to provide useful information and circumvents the chain of command.
In the private sector, don’t lawyers have to report their billable hours and case proceedings to their firms throughout each month? Just guessing from what I’ve seen from TV and the movies, though.
“I think this reporting requirement is nonsense.”
It shows if you are a good employee. Miss one, no problem,
but after a few weeks of non-response, it’s another reason to consider your further employment.
Well, if Demonrat judges don’t allow people to be fired, and they don’t take the buyout, there is no option but to make their job so unpleasant that they quit.
Any reporting requirement should come through chain of command not Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Hmmmmmmmm. This one was missing something. Just didn’t catch me offguard. Or maybe it’s because there is nothing left , no remarks, no action, that the DEMS haven’t done in reality.
ANYWAY, it seems to have fooled everyone else who made a post. I guess you could call that a success.
