Deep state purge. …… President Biden’s Department of Justice plans to this week ask for the resignation of the vast majority of U.S. attorneys appointed during the Trump administration, CNN first reported on Monday night.
DOJ to ask Trump-appointed US attorneys to resign with two exceptions
A senior DOJ official told the Washington Examiner that the transitional process for Senate-confirmed U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Donald Trump as early as Tuesday. CNN reported the request is expected to apply to 56 officials. Unclear is when the resignations would be expected to take effect or whether the Biden administration would choose to keep any of the prosecutors on after their resignations are submitted.
President Biden has been in office for roughly two and a half weeks. There are 94 U.S. attorneys across the country, but 25 are currently acting top federal prosecutors in their districts, in part because some federal prosecutors already resigned with the onset of the Biden administration.
Story continues below advertisementSuch a transition is not without precedent during the entry of a new administration. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s first attorney general, asked dozens of Obama-appointed U.S. attorneys to resign en masse in March 2017, prompting criticism by Democrats.
The DOJ official told the Washington Examiner on Monday that U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting a criminal investigation into the Russia inquiry, is expected to resign. However, he was appointed special counsel in the final months of the Trump administration and will continue his work in that role even after leaving his post as the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, the Justice Department official said.
In addition, the DOJ official said acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson called Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is conducting the criminal tax inquiry into Hunter Biden, the 51-year-old son of the president, and asked him to remain in office while the investigation is playing out. The younger Biden has reportedly been under criminal investigation as far back as 2018, with his foreign business dealings in China and elsewhere being scrutinized.

Biden’s nominee for attorney general, Judge Merrick Garland, is still awaiting the Senate confirmation process. Biden signed an executive order which requires all of his political appointees to sign a pledge to not interfere in investigative or prosecutorial decisions of the Justice Department.
The fate of high-profile acting U.S. attorneys, such as Audrey Strauss of the Southern District of New York, or Michael Sherwin, the top prosecutor in the nation’s capital who is leading the investigation into the U.S. Capitol riot, is not immediately clear. Both prosecutors, brought in during the Trump administration, are not Senate confirmed, so it is not yet known if they will be asked to hand in their resignations.

And Trump couldn’t do it !
It’s not his nature to be paranoid and react like that. Trump was not a dictator. Now that you see a dictator in action you find it appalling but think Trump should have done that?
Hmmmmm
Hmmmm ………. Lame excuses only help the crooks and criminals/Mafia.
Republicans slept while Left/corrupt/pro-jihadis took over schools/colleges , media, political space, tech social media censorship , bureaucracy , courts and finally political space.
Keep making excuses . your constitutional rights are gone. because cowards don’t deserve it.
And Trump couldn’t do it !
YEP!! Consider that ‘bill barr’ the TREASONOUS TRAITOR “fast tracked” many of the CONSTITUTIONALLY ILLEGAL “e.o.s” that ‘biden’ has been signing since the FIRST DAY of his/their COUP of America!!
They should stay put, he legally doesn’t have the right to fire people who’ve done nothing wrong.
Hell, that won’t stop ’em!!
Something Trump neglected to do, ending up really screwing him royally.
“Keeping your enemies closer” was the dumbest thing ever coined.
Secession or CW2.
Those are the solutions.
WOW. Imagine if Trump did that on his first day which he should have. But the Democrats and the Media would have blown this way out of proportion as they do with everything else , they do not like.
Bidet know not what he does.
He is being controlled by TDS-infected snowflakes.
Imagine if TRUMP had done this – he should have.
He should have!
Trumps biggest mistake, not cleaning house. Do you, if there is a next time, think the conservatives learned anything?
Yeah, his problem was he was too trusting. It took him awhile to realize that he fell into a nest of water moccasins and vipers.
If there is a next time, we will be screaming it.
Let us become educated… He is being controlled by the DSoA (The Democratic Socialists of America), the very same party that hijacked the electoral process as well as the Democratic Party and now rules over us, with arrogance and very little opposition. Please wake up to reality…
Bill Barr approves this message.
The Biden regime are not tolerant people of diversity.
In this war for national survival, as the script went in Dr Zhivago, ” Where is the front,” came the reply, ” the front is everywhere “.
Every lefty teacher, every snowflake, every news anchor, every politician, all of em. Those lawyers need to protest to an industrial tribunal. for wrongful dismissal.
Conservatives cannot expect mercy from the left, so don’t give them any because you will receive none.

And in four years we had better throw out every democrat in every branch of government. There is no room for that evil in this country. (Unless the shooting war starts before then)
I don’t think that in four years you will have a snowball’s hope in hell of getting rid of the Democrats
through an election. If there were one it would be totally rigged. They are setting up the country for their permanent control. America, the America I travelled extensively and enjoyed, is no more, it is now by the Democrats making just a ‘shit-hole’. The Democrats, by lies and twisting of words, are trying to create a case to arrest Trump. Anyone who watched the Trump impeachment kangaroo court despises what America now is.
Democrats after Obama should have been banned as a party
This would be a great solution. Maybe Amy Barrett should have warned about it. She didn’t seem to be banned from all social media.
That is what they want.
Go to hell Trey.
All bark and no bite.
No wonder FAUX News loves you.
No more E O”s. If you cant get it through Congress, you cant get it! I cant wait for 2024
And the Hunter investigation will go……NOWHERE.
And if they all quietly and respectfully say “no,” what happens?
{o.o}
N O P E !!! IS the ONLY ANSWER to be given.
Do NOT allow the DemoKKKrat National Kommunist party PURGE OUR GOVERNMENT of Americans who WANT and DEMAND to live under OUR AMERICAN CONSTITUTION!!!!!!!
This PURGE is now being attempted to occur in OUR Military!!!!!!!
As I recall, Clinton fired all but one…..didn’t want them snooping into his ‘affairs’.
He fired 90. It’s what Dems do. Oh, and you meant crooked affairs.
Dismissal of the attorneys is customary protocol on changes of administrations. There are real policies to oppose…
The Democrats screamed bloody murder when Bush wanted to fire Clinton appointed lawyers. What’s good for the goose….
This is no big deal.
The big deal is that Trump didn’t have the brass – or was it brains? – to do the same thing. Every POTUS does this. This is par for the course.
The difference was that Trump faced a lying “media” who would say otherwise and spin it, and he didn’t have the guts to stare them down.
President Asterisk von Rapeyfingers has access to this site. He and his team of crack apparatchiks can read stories like this.
The difference is? They don’t care.
Why WE cared at the time is, again, yet another sign of weakness.
We box by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. They street fight. Always. Sand in the eyes, low blows, sucker punches, etc. You name it, they do it and cheer.
And we wonder why we lose?
Right now, right this second, you will find that communists won’t even SPEAK to a Trump voter.
Right now, right this second, you’ll find that about 1 in 3 Trump voters watched the Super Bowl. Still use Twitter. Etc.
See the difference?
They have grit; we have whining.
Gee, we wouldn’t want to politicize the DOJ, or anything. No. We run an honest clip joint.
Oh, remember this firing when we try to fire a bunch of leftist lawyers. Oh how they howl about unfairness then.
