“Meanwhile, new Attorney General Jason Miyares (who was also just sworn in) has terminated the entire Civil Rights Division of the AG’s Office (many of them Soros backed lawyers). YOWZA! 🤪
That was a MASS firing within a few moments of being sworn in. The MSM are calling it ‘insane’ and ‘mean.’
AG Miyares also warned all county prosecutors he will be pursuing charges for crimes they refuse to file charges for themselves. This is a warning to local VA DAs not to do what NY’s DA is doing.
Shades of a post ‘Election 2022’ world?”

“As a candidate, I promised to investigate the scandals at the Virginia Parole Board and Loudoun County Schools.
As Attorney General, I am proud to say that the process has begun and the investigations are officially open.”
