This just in: Donald Trump demanded that some of the Biden-era Department of Justice U.S. Attorneys be fired. Oh wait, it’s Donald Trump—he just demanded that ALL Biden U.S. attorneys find a new line of work.

He posted the mass goodbyes to social media Tuesday evening:

The DOJ has become “politicized like never before,” he argued, so drastic steps are needed. After the nearly four-year-long terror reign of former Attorney General Merrick Garland, he’s certainly right about that.

The move is not unusual, but the president did announce it with flair, presumably to send a message:

Terminating U.S. attorneys from previous administrations is generally standard procedure. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Justice Department. 

Shawn Farash, who I have argued is one of the best Trump impersonators, if not the best, had a wild idea:

Trump has been quite busy weeding out DOJ prosecutors and officials who he believes have been unfairly targeting him for years:

Last week, the White House sent termination notices to several U.S. attorneys, who serve as the top federal law enforcement officials in their assigned districts, around the country who had been appointed by Biden. 

Typically, a new administration will request the resignation of a U.S. attorney being replaced, rather than issuing a termination letter, Reuters reported. 

Days after taking office, Trump fired several career federal prosecutors involved in cases against him. The employees worked on special counsel Jack Smith's investigation against Trump over his handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.

Smith resigned before Trump took office. [Editor's Note: Because of course he did.]

The Biggest Losers—Who Got Burned the Most by Trump's Historic Comeback?

Trump has already succeeded in getting his pick for attorney general confirmed—Pam Bondi—and his choice for FBI Director, Kash Patel, passed a crucial Senate procedural vote Tuesday, as our Becca Lower reported. Bondi is already making her mark, and if Patel is confirmed, he won’t waste time either in weeding out the corruption and rot.

Trump has been waiting a long time to right all the wrongs, and he’s remaking the Justice Department at a furious pace. He was subject to all manner of lawfare in just the past four years alone, from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s reckless failed investigation into classified documents—which Joe Biden also illegally had in his possession but was let off scot-free in part because Special Counsel Robert Hur thought a jury might see him as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory"—to Smith’s election interference case, which also ended up on the ash heap of history.

During the 2024 presidential election, Trump accused the Biden administration of weaponizing the Justice Department against him in an effort to knock him out of the race. He campaigned on a promise to restore the agency.

"We're going through this weaponization of our government to try and knock out somebody's political opponent," Trump said in March 2024, calling all the cases against him the "Biden trials." 

If you happen to be in D.C. in the near future, be prepared to duck—there’s liable to be a pack of angry attorneys roaming the streets looking for work. Do not approach them, and do not feed them; you’ll only encourage them.
