The department has hemorrhaged thousands of veteran attorneys since Trump returned to office thanks to the president’s revenge campaigns, violent immigration crackdown, and increasingly overwhelming workloads.
The government has lowered hiring standards and resorted to offering $25,000 signing bonuses, despite historically being deluged with applications from lawyers who were happy to take a pay cut in exchange for the prestige and satisfaction of federal service.
Over the past few weeks, the deputy attorney general’s office told all 93 U.S. attorney’s offices that every prosecutor must maintain at least “25 open matters” at all times, four people told Bloomberg Law.
The last lawsuit had the judge recommending sanctions for the DoJ attorneys, so we’ve now reached the point where these attorneys will be paying a steep PERSONAL price for bringing these bullshit lawsuits.
I’m waiting for the moment when a judge declares Trump and the DoJ a Vexation Litigant, and prohibits their lawsuits.
That was ALWAYS going to be the outcome whether they wanted to believe it or not. Trump has always been like this and they chose to believe it couldn’t possibly happen to them (or whatever happens was worth it financially).
Leopards gotta eat.
