The Justice Department is firing more than a dozen key officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team prosecuting President Donald Trump, after Acting Attorney General James McHenry said they could not be trusted in "faithfully implementing the president’s agenda," Fox News Digital has learned.

McHenry has transmitted a letter to each official notifying them of their termination, a Justice Department official exclusively told Fox News Digital.

"Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump," a DOJ official told Fox News Digital. "In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda."

This action "is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government," the official told Fox News Digital.

This is Trump unleashed. He doesn’t have to worry about re-election, or what the RINOs think.

It’s beautiful.

I hope the letter reminded them destroying documents is potentially a criminal offense. Their communications need to be scrutinized.

More blood on the floor is coming....

Perhaps these delinquent attorneys could return to their native states and run for office, citing their experiences, and try to drum up support for their TDS tendencies.

To the situation as this event applies. But imo we need to
see a broader approach to gov’t workers and the need for the
jobs they current are classified into. Government, national,
state and local all have a protencity to hire/keep workers that
aren’t needed.. Thus tax payers are losing in the long run.

Well, it’s a start...

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”

William Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2

Now purge the civil rights division who persecuted pro lifers, the legion of DOJ lawyers who persecuted J6ers and the FBI panty sniffers who swatted Mar A Lago..

It sure is beautiful! Daddy Trump is spanking all the petulant little brats now, and wow are they upset!

I now believe that had he been inaugurated(as he should have been) in 2021, he wouldn’t have taken measures like he has the past week.

4 years of hell, a bullet to the ear, and a shoot to kill panty raid on his house probably kinda changes your perspective on things.

oh...
darn

“4 years of hell, a bullet to the ear, and a shoot to kill panty raid on his house probably kinda changes your perspective on things.”

It’s very disturbing what the establishment did to Trump. No one should have to deal with that, however, for the country, it seems it was a blessing in disguise.

LOVE IT!!! get the traitors and useful idiots OUT!

I think it is going to boil down to eliminating public sector unions.
