Miyares fires 30 in AG's office (Virginia)
Free Lance Star ^ | 1-15-22 | PATRICK WILSON

Attorney Gen.-elect Jason Miyares notified about 30 staff members in the office - 17 of them attorneys - that they won't have jobs in his administration.

Miyares, a Republican, will be sworn in on Saturday to replace Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring, whom Miyares defeated in the November election.

Miyares spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita said the 30 staff members were told Friday that Miyares would be moving in a different direction.

"During the campaign, it was made clear that now Attorney General-elect Miyares and Attorney General Herring have very different visions for the office," she said by email for this story. "We are restructuring the office, as every incoming AG has done in the past."

She declined to provide the breakdown of which divisions the attorneys work in, saying it was multiple divisions across the office.

While it's routine for lawyers at the top of the office to be replaced when one political party loses control, the number of lawyers fired surprised the outgoing Herring administration.

Good move. Let’s hope Trump fires everyone he can when he is sworn in again. Fedzilla needs an enema.

Clean out the Maoists who are fine with armed robberies but who file charges when one uses the wrong pronoun.

The Left realized long ago - in a society based ostensibly on “the law” you can control the law, politics and society by corrupting “the law” with highly political and biased prosecutors.

A good start. Probably not enough. But it should be all of them. Or at least, all political appointees.

Before President Trump was sworn in, his campaign representatives set up a website where his supporters could send their CVs. It was part of a plan to enable him to clean house in the government. Very early on in his administration the information was declared lost (can you really lose anything on the internet) and nothing came of it.

Trump must fire everyone who worked for Bush, Obama, Biden, and even leftovers from Trumps first term. Hopefully his people are generating a list of those to fire and those to hire. Do it on inauguration day. 1201pm

Fire people first. It’s always easier to fill empty positions.

Trump’s first move should be to give all federal land back to the states & then eliminate EVERY federal agency that supposedly manages those lands. That’s Day One.
