Virginia’s new Republican attorney general has fired University of Virginia’s counsel, who was on leave from his job to work as the top investigator for U.S. House of Representatives panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, the attorney and university said.
Tim Heaphy, who had worked at the state school for about three years, was among roughly 30 staffers who were let go by Jason Miyares shortly before he took office a little over a week ago. Democrats have questioned the firings and how they were carried out.
Victoria LaCivita, a Miyares spokeswoman, said the attorney general’s office had also fired the counsel for George Mason University, Brian Walther, but offered no explanation for why he was let go. Walther referred questions about his firing to George Mason’s communications department, which referred questions to Miyares’s office. Both Heaphy and Walther are Democrats.
LaCivita did not respond to a question about whether any other counsels at Virginia’s more than three dozen public colleges and universities had been let go...
LaCivita said in a statement that Heaphy was a “controversial” hire and Miyares’s Democratic predecessor, Mark Herring, had “excluded many qualified internal candidates when he brought in this particular university counsel.”
“Our decision was made after reviewing the legal decisions made over the last couple of years,” LaCivita said. “The Attorney General wants the university counsel to return to giving legal advice based on law, and not the philosophy of a university. We plan to look internally first for the next lead counsel.”

😂 Another one bites the dust.🧹
Yet another, of thousands, example of liberals and Democrats having jobs on the taxpayer dime, doing what they want and making a decent living, taking advantage of the taxpayer.
Kind of like Fauci doing work in government labs and, allegedly, being able to patent some of his discoveries.
I’m a big fan of This Old House. They’ve been doing a renovation on a house in Massachusetts. Has to be at least $500k or more. The woman works for a non-profit. Liberal Do-Gooder from the start.
Is it me, or are non-profits the biggest scam on the planet? Give us money, we’ll all get paid handsomely and only a portion of what we take in will actually go to what the non-profit is for.
Finally an appropriate response, instead of RINO capitulation. This is great to see.
Hahahaha! Go woke, go jobless.
I’m seeing this as a win-win!
I am impressed with Miyares
“Give us money, we’ll all get paid handsomely and only a portion of what we take in will actually go to what the non-profit is for”
A lot of charitable organizations also. This is a couple years old but you get the idea.

Hey you shouldn’t have hired that guy. You need to pour me another drink.
Good
Hmmm, elections have consequences for Democrats, too!
It's you. Non-profits are the biggest scam on the planet. The best are politically oriented [read prog/marxist] NGOs. Their key officers are paid very handsomely indeed and teh biggest scam is when they can get government funding to carry on their political activities.
Good.
Fire EVERY political appointee from the previous administration.
JASON,
It’s only a drop in the bucket. Keep up the good work. Younkin, you listening?
All democRATs, no matter which position they are employed in, should be fired. For The Children, of course.
The dems hired him, finally pubbies with b_lls enough to take care of this stuff.
But … but … but …. the grifter blogs and the trailer park crowd insist that “der iz no diffrance between a Republican and a Democrat.”
I wonder if this a-hole was on PAID LEAVE so that Nancy didn’t have to get a funding request for him approved. How many others like him?
Incredible to see how easily the Democrats can simply round up their lynch mob when they feel like it. As it is, while this clown will not starve without this university job that he no-doubt loves (since it gives him an excellent platform to bring down the country), he’ll not be able to slide back into it either. Nice to see!
Navy Marine Corps Relief has always disgusted me - their Board is composed of retired senior enlisted & officers (and spouses), and they vested in a pension after a short time. Their IRS 990 is an eye opener.
