Trump is STUNNED as 1200 DOJ Lawyers GET REVENGE!!!
"This has been the kind of— the numbers don't really even capture the complete denigration and evisceration of everything that is so special about the Department of Justice. The other thing I want to highlight is their last point about the culture of fear, the people who remain."
Harry Litman, former U.S. Attorney and top DOJ official, characterized the letter from 1,200 former officials as documenting a strategic destruction of the Justice Department under Todd Blanche. Litman emphasized that beyond the 16,000 departures, the most experienced counselors were disproportionately forced out or marginalized, abandoning entire areas like civil rights enforcement. He warned that upcoming Senate confirmation hearings will focus on vindictive prosecutions, the Epstein files mishandling, and the gutting of counterterrorism, antitrust, and environmental protection functions.
