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.

thats how i first understood it too
This is what needs to be discussed ne in DC.
Way to go!
The new broom sweeps clean!
Congrats to new Governor and his team!
He wont het the chance, unless he starts now on getting loyalty in the areas where it counts, the ballot counters in the local county/city election offices.

Herring was a nightmare. I suspect this is a very good move by Miyares to get rid of snakes in the grass.
oowww! so scary.
maybe they wont have a choice by then?
You left no room for God to do as He wants.
they got fire in their future for sure.
“Fire people first. It’s always easier to fill empty positions.”
Fire 50% of any government staff. Wait 6 months and then see if any positions need to be filled. Likely, most won’t be missed.
Love Trump...hope he has learned from his first 4 years...if not, hope he learns from this.
Holdovers will never, never, ever, be of help to you.
The President can only fire appointees. But those are the managers and that’s where you start.
Congress can fire the rest by defunding departments and punting their assets to Interior or the GSA.
No halfmeasures ever work.
We are ruled by unelected unaccountable beaurocrats.
Trump should have dissolved all departments under the executive branch.
All
Of
Them
The ones needed rebuild from scratch.
No Communist sympathizers allowed.
give up the win so easy?
Exactly what Trump should have done, plus the FBI and other non political agency heads installed by BHO.
These a re locally elected DA’s, hopefully a strong State AG can reign them in...better yet bring charges...
Agreed. A very good start. More please.
Its what Trump should have done with the lot of them when he took office, including Comey, the CIA bunch and the entire Justice Dept. political appointees. There were plenty of loyal candidates for these jobs in the US - Trump got pushed to hire a personnel reviewer who would turn down his hardcore supporters and put Paul Ryan lites in these jobs instead.
The President can only fire appointees.

Wrong.
He is the CEO of the executive branch, he can fire every single damned one of them who work for the executive branch.
He can dissolve every agency under the executive branch, and should.
Then, after the PURGE , replace with agencies that are actually needed.
.
Good start. Now go after those MF’rs on the Louden County School Board. Every one of those ba$stards need to be prosecuted to within an inch of their lives. And while you’re at it expunge the record of the Dad that got hauled off to jail for confronting those jerks.
I know. I applied and then asked Mick Mulvaney about it later and he just shrugged.
He fired Comey. And he terminated the search for the new FBI headquarters. So I'll give him credit for that.
He should had not gotten rid of Steve Bannon. He needed him as his gatekeeper. Michael Flynn may had been another potential gatekeeper but the Deep State got him.
