A number of Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers appointed by previous administrations have resigned to avoid dismantling the liberal agenda pursued under former President Barack Obama, according to The New York Times.
Yet the new direction has also met some resistance among rank-and-file civil servants. Within the Justice Department, several long-serving lawyers have decided to retire or quit rather than help carry out the new policies, people briefed on the departures told TheNYTimes.
Some of these lawyers also faced the unpalatable task of undoing their work defending Obama-era regulations, such as those on birth control and transgender rights. Rather than help roll back those rules, the officials decided to leave the government TheNYTimes reported.

Many probably figured leaving increases their chances of not being prosecuted.

Good. I would be just fine if every damned one of them resigned.That would be perfectly acceptable, but I would rather they all would hear the words, "you're fired."

Self-flushing!
If we could only get the Demonicrats and RINOcrats in Congress to do that!

I call bull $hit. Central government teat suckers in powerful positions do not quit unless alternative well funded jobs are guaranteed. Two out of ten thousand is not even a drip of swamp drainage.

This is winning. Imagine if a true conservative was in office implementing ideological changes the poor snowflakes would make a blizzard. I love what Trump is doing but geeez it isn’t that radical. Trump is moving us back to something like the Bill Clinton era of smaller government. It is a huge improvement.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Good, and their wimpy RINO AG can go right along with them if he doesn’t get his shit together.

This may explain why Sessions has been pretty quiet....
I would say some heavy internal "discussion" has been going on!
I feel so bad for even some of those who served in former Republic administrations....
Now we are really making progress!!!

Oh, YES! Everyone reading this post should follow the link to the original NYT article that lays out in remarkable, well researched detail, all of the great changes our PRESIDENT Trump is making. Indeed, the only reason for this very high quality NYT article I can see is they must be so worried over PDT’s many, generally unknown, successes that they are sounding the alarm with this article.

Don’t think of it as wholesale slaughter. It’s more like...retail...
