When the Trump administration swept into the Department of Justice on Jan. 20, it moved swiftly to purge, demote, transfer and otherwise sideline career lawyers not perceived to be team players or sufficiently committed to the MAGA legal agenda.
[snip]
Inside, nearly a dozen of the government's most seasoned civil rights, environmental and national security lawyers have been reconstituted as members of a newly created group called the Sanctuary Cities task force.
At first glance, the job seemed promising — a legal strike team that would sue municipalities the administration claimed were facilitating the violation of immigration laws, a task force undertaking a top priority for the new Justice Department leadership.
But the more these attorneys looked into it, the more they concluded the task force was a sham, a Potemkin operation that seemed more aimed at stashing away career lawyers than putting them to work on a legitimate legal project, according to interviews with six people knowledgeable about the task force, all of whom painted a similar picture.

"For the first time in modern U.S. history, we are witnessing purely vindictive and retaliatory actions being taken against non-partisan civil servants who simply performed their jobs consistent with law and policy during prior time," said Mark Zaid, a Washington lawyer who represents government whistleblowers.

And at the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office, the interim top prosecutor fired or demoted dozens of assistant U.S. attorneys who had won convictions against hundreds of rioters who assaulted the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Those who did not resign were given jobs typically assigned to junior prosecutors, sometimes referred to as "baby AUSAs," like handling misdemeanors in D.C. Superior Court or working in the office's intake section screening cases for prosecution or alternative action.

Pull the other one.
Well, at least they have rubbers.
Biden in beds. This shysters were sent by Joe Pedo to resist, obstruct and leak.
I’d be running a business on the inside. It’s normal to show houses, for example, in the evenings. So, you can set up all your paperwork while inside and then go show houses when you leave here.

They’re really not listening to themselves are they...
They were wasting away so Trump set them Free , Fly young Lawyers Fly ,LOL
The tears of leftist lawyers make delicious coffee to go with my morning schadenfreude.
They don't know what verdictive is. They don't live in the private sector world. I've got nothing but contempt for millions of of these corrupt bureaucrats looting the taxpayers. Look at the leadership in California. These people are flat-out Communist! And they're all over government at every level. The public servants became the masters!
Enough!
Inbeds or In Beds. Both the same.
Julie Kelly's comment on X:
"I'LL COLOR MY WAY OUT
This is hilarious. Bad apples at DOJ including George Toscas--last seen demanding armed raid of Mar a Lago--"reassigned" to Sanctuary City task force, which is more like purgatory. Many have resigned or retired."

First time? I think not.
Vindictive, retaliatory actions? Nope. Just selecting the best suited for the President’s agenda and leaving these a$$hats on the sidelines.
If he was a whistleblower lawyer, he sure did a terrible job at it.
Speaking of Julie Kelly, here is her latest on “DeClassified live.”
“Who Really is to Blame for Anti-Deportation Riots?”
“One can safely argue the trouble started on March 15 in the federal courtroom of Judge Jeb Boasberg.”
“Boasberg lit the match on March 15 during a series of hasty proceedings to advance the first lawsuit against the president’s Alien Enemies Act (AEA). Within hours of the president signing the act, the American Civil Liberties Union sought a restraining order to stop the removal of illegal Venezuelans associated with the multi-national crime racket known as Tren de Aragua, the basis of the AEA.
Working quickly that Saturday, Boasberg immediately banned the deportation of anyone covered by the AEA. But that wasn’t enough. During a Saturday evening hearing, Boasberg made an outrageous demand of the DOJ, which had been given no time to file a response or even gather their collective thoughts on the matter.”
These filthy lawyers knew they were politically persecuting simple protestors by stacking ridiculously overblown charges on them. The judges and picked juries knew it too. The guards who abused the J6ers were also part of their torturing mistreatment of the victims. All deserve to be locked up for many years. And forced to sleep on straw mats while being denied any medical treatment. See how they like it.
“Non-partisan civil servants” or “Deep State”? Tomato... toe Mah to.
These are people whom the Trump Admin has determined are hostile to its agenda. It can’t fire them, so they are paid to do nothing, which is less harmful than allowing them to undermine the Trump agenda. Apparently, several thousand government employees are now getting paid administrative leave to stay home and do nothing. This is government efficiency!
Yep. Yep. Yep. And Yep.
ROTFLMAO. Non-partisan, my ass.
“ actions being taken against non-partisan civil servants who simply performed their jobs consistent with law and policy during prior time,” said Mark Zaid.”
Non partisan my Aunt Fanny.
I have a problem with them being on the payroll at all. If you can’t fire them transfer them to Nome AK on the bad check detail.
