The DOJ’s troubles are at least partly the result of an inspector general who has completely fallen down on the job of holding the agency accountable.
The Department of Justice, and specifically its Office of Inspector General (OIG), loves to give the impression that its offices are staffed by independent, nonpartisan lawyers whose only goal is to investigate and root out corruption within the department. Records, however, show the watchdog is staffed by Democrat activists eager to use their power to crush their political enemies.
This partisanship has been on display in how the OIG, the DOJ’s internal watchdog office, has gone about investigating Trump’s Justice Department, particularly its scrutiny of two investigations by then-Attorney General William Barr. These IG “investigations,” reports on which are forthcoming, entail analyzing press releases and other communications to see if the DOJ broke the law or violated departmental guidance when it announced its own investigations.
While many Americans wish Trump’s Department of Justice had done far more to root out election problems in 2020, partisan Democrats in OIG say Barr and other Trump officials did too much by even acknowledging the existence of discarded Trump ballots that were found in Pennsylvania during the 2020 election. Despite a lengthy, expensive, and invasive investigation, Trump appointees will reportedly be found to have neither broken laws nor violated DOJ policies, once the report is issued.
According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, partisan Democrats in the watchdog office are also investigating Trump appointees for requesting data from the governors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan after they required nursing homes to admit Covid-19 patients into their vulnerable populations, often without adequate testing.
Really.
Trust in the DOJ has absolutely cratered in recent years...

It is like a civil war using lawfare. And only one side is armed.
If Trump gets back in office and this Lawfare actually happens, I wonder how protected they are from getting fired, a lot of civil servants basically can’t be fired, if these people can be fired they should be, otherwise a new Trump Administration will be hamstrung and get little to nothing done.
Well, order the DOJ leadership to stop it. When it doesn’t fire them for subordination. All of them. Then next rung down. A few weeks of this will clean it out one way or the other.
Americans need to stand with Trump when we elect him this time.
Civil service employees that are supposidly protected from being fired is unconstitutional deep state nonsense.
Fire them.
Polygraph everyone in every federal agency, but especially in the DoJ. And do it once a year. This also applies to federal prosecutors across the nation.
Those who refuse are fired on the spot. Those that fail are arrested and charged with sedition. Those who pass are rewarded and promoted to new leadership posts. Do this with every federal agency, as they are sworn to defending our constitution.
Ronald Reagan fired a lot of Air Traffic Controllers, there is no reason a bunch of DOJ Lawyers who are deliberately trying to undermine a new Trump Administration should absolutely be fired.
Our government has totally gone off the rails. It is very doubtful that we, as a nation, will ever get back to being a true Constitutional Republic.
Isn’t that a form of insurrection? These government employee bums should be arrested and sent to GITMO for interrogation of their plot.
Trump can fire the whole lot of them, just like Clinton and Obama did.

“Why not focus on the Clinton administration’s having “fired all 93 U.S. attorneys” when Janet Reno became attorney general in March 1993? The idea was introduced in a memo from a Justice Department spokeswoman.”
All involved in this abuse of their position need to be publicly hanged, after their fair, impartial, 5-min trial somewhere in the mid-west. And recorded and shown annually to all bureaucrats as an example of what is waiting for them when they abuse their position.
Only one side is fighting this Civil War.
When any fight occurs and only 1 has the ability to fight, the other side doesn’t only lose the only question they have is will the other side allow them to live.
And still we grovel on our knees.

“Polygraph everyone in every federal agency”
There aren’t many problems in Washington that couldn’t be fixed with a lie detector, some rope, and complete immunity from prosecution (for the investigator).

The other side is not using their arms
