Acting Attorney General James McHenry has fired more than a dozen career prosecutors from Main Justice citing their work with the Special Counsel Jack Smith targeting of President Trump. This is an exceptionally valuable non-pretending approach toward eliminating the weaponization of the DOJ, the history of the manipulation of the DOJ/FBI serves as the backdrop.
Remember when Robert Mueller spent 2 years investigating the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, and it was later discovered the investigative team (5o FBI agents) knew in January 2017, the Trump-Russia collusion claim was false. Why did those 50 FBI agents remain employed, when it was clear they knew there was no basis for the accusations? The simple non-pretending questions are always the starkest.
That’s the sentiment behind current Acting AG James McHenry, firing the lawyers who worked with Jack Smith. In addition to the fabrication of a prosecutorial predicate, the deployment of Lawfare is not based on factual law. The prosecutors showed their political bias by willingly engaging in a prosecution they understood was without merit.
(WASHINGTON AP) – […] The abrupt termination targeting career prosecutors who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s team is the latest sign of upheaval inside the Justice Department and is consistent with the administration’s determination to purge the government of workers it perceives as disloyal to the president.
Monday’s norm-shattering move, which follows the reassignment of multiple senior career officials across divisions, was made even though rank-and-file prosecutors by tradition remain with the department across presidential administrations and are not punished by virtue of their involvement in sensitive investigations. The firings are effective immediately.
“Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” said a statement from a Justice Department official. “In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government.” (read more)
Love it! #FAFO!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Quoi?
Hope McCord soon follows.
Don’t hold your breath,
She’s got lots more subordinates to throw under the bus yet.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State must be destroyed!
“,…the Derp State IS being destroyed!”
FIFY
All roads lead to Langley.
Then you’ll need a boat to finish the job.
She is no longer with the DOJ. She is currently at Georgetown Law and will be leading the resistance to all of President Trump’s activities…
https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/mary-mccord/
Wolverines should audit her classes
She’s not bullet proof. She only thinks she is.
But first, waterboard her until she gives up her handlers, same for Weissman and Eisman
Weissman? Isn’t he the one that caused the precedent ) post Enron that
resulted in all the additional charges for the Jan 6 persons?
Kinda funny how that worked. Not. Either someone farted, or Weissman
had just left the building when they came up with that particular statute
being cited endlessly in sentencing.
Ooh, “Mary, Mary quite contrary” has a good ring to it!
“norm-shattering”
Horsepucky.
Actually it does shatter the norm which would normally not punish politically driven activities. They should stand trial for violating their oath of office.
That is what we voted for – norm-shattering 😎
Aw, poor Norm. {;o)
“Norm!!” ( a la Cheers)
Now let’s see which RINOs complain and use against them in the primary.
Start with Miss Lindsey
Miss Lindsey is already whining about Bolton and Pompeo security being pulled and calling for a Senate investigation.
Menopausal lesbian.
Trump said they can pay for their own protective service and me thinks he is RIGHT!
Lindsey has no idea how much he is disregarded, to put it nicely.
As my “Senator” I sure wish a MAGA person would primary him.
Persueing baseless prosecutions, abusing the rights of the accused by ignoring Brady, etc. are legitimate grounds for discharge,…for incompetence.
And, career civil servants can be fired without the usual civil service protections, if it can be shown their jobs involve making or implementing POLICY.
They have researched this well, and are prepared to win any court battle, challenging Our President Trumps authority to hire and fire.
It’s not incompetence, it’s out right treasonous behavior.
Leave to the AP to pretend this is about loyalty, rather than their criminality or ignorance of the law – as lawyers.
The Silly Satanic Spin.
A way of life for the MarxMerdia.
Do you mean the enemedia? (Short, and says it all in one word. Hat tip to Pamela Geller.)
Taking it to court will only cement PDJT’s authority to hire and fire.
😈
Seems like they’re gettin’ off mighty light, don’t it?
I’m glad some examples are being made, not complaining. Just wondering if the point was made to all these numerous other yayhoos.
A cursory reading of what our forefathers did in similar situations may be instructive.
Or what my Daddy did when I deserved it.
Just sayin’.
-RR
Every corruption compromised critter is watching.
Intently.
Nothing says it stops here.
Law licences, strip them of any protection from liability,…then sue them to oblivion,…
Once they are out of government then they have to pay their own way in life including being a defendant accused of all of the crimes that they have committed. They do not get to travel with the US taxpayers credit card.
Even if most of them end up at a think tank or foundation, PDJT is cutting off the spigot that starts the $$$$ flowing through all of their money sources.
I propose that they go pick crops and work in slaughterhouses to show us that Americans CAN do that kind of work.
I’m waiting for all federal attorneys to be fired Bill Clinton style.
“Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.”

The chef may have been delayed a bit, but here’s your righteous comeuppance for a complete lack of ethics and corrupt political skullduggery.
Bon Appetite…
“The prosecutors showed their political bias by willingly engaging in a prosecution they understood was without merit.”
And that is a breach of professional ethics. Every lawyer has an individual obligation to refuse to do something improper, even if it means losing you job for refusing. If the acting AG is REALLY serious about putting an end to this type of behavior he will send a message to everyone else by also filing complaints in every jurisdiction in which those lawyers are licensed to get them all disbarred. They should never be permitted to practice law again anywhere, for anyone. They should NOT have the option of simply leaving Justice and moving over to a polically connected democrat law firm. The only acceptable position for them is “former lawyer.”
“The prosecutors showed their political bias by willingly engaging in a prosecution they understood was without merit.”
It may even be criminal.
No “may” about it,…abuse of process under color of law, Civil rights violations, ignoring Brady, suppression of evidence, manufacturing of evidence, there is a long list of crimes they committed,..many of the felonies,…and a felony conviction costs you your licence, IIRC.
Looking forward to seeing if AG Bondi pursues this and other abuses.
Appoint Matt Gaetz as Special Prosecutor.
Wow, wouldn’t THAT make the libs’ heads explode…perhaps the come-uppance necessary.
Nice
That’s a good start.
Now go through and fire every DEI hire and every attorney that touched any case against any conservative the last eight years.
Even all the way back to President Trumps first time in office.
All the Russiagate actors have lot be departed and even tried. They are criminals.
“…Have got to be…”
Like Adam Schiff for example?
“... is consistent with the administration’s determination to purge the government of workers it perceives as disloyal to the president.” – AP
I hope the WH pushes back strongly on lies like the above and does something visible like withdraw or suspend AP Reporters from the Brady Room for say, a month, for lying.
It’s easy to push it back, you just say they are not fired for being disloyal to any President, they are being fired because they were willingly involved in a prosecution for political purposes.
Fake news only gets traction in the low information voter market because the lie gets half way round the world before the truth gets a chance to put its trousers on. Well, start stopping the lie by calling it out, loud and long, as soon as it happens.
That was the problem with the Russia Russia bollocks. Trump never used the bully pulpit to push it back loud and long until it had not just got halfway round the world, it had made several full orbits by the time he started to say anything, and even then that was weak and not at all forceful. That’s why it stuck and still sticks, in the minds of the low information voters, which frankly, means most of them.
Propaganda is psyops. It poisons our world. It’s why people globally have let the trans perversion get legs without calling it out. It’s why people think Russia invaded Ukraine for no reason. It’s why covid got so much traction. It supports a lot of false beliefs. Recall the famous quote from CIA Director [IIRC] Colby: “We will know we have been successful when everything the American people believe is false.” – Referring to Mockingbird.
But lies don’t work when you can just show people truth. So use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to start showing people. Every. Single. Time. They. Do. It. Large lies, small lies. Every single time. Pretty soon, even if they keep lying, even low information voters will tune them out.
100%
In case you haven’t noticed, thats exactly what PDJT has done,…I noticed it most glaringly as they started the lawfare campaign against him.
When the raided MAL, it was PDJT, NOT the Prosecutors that broke the news.
And he immediately launched a verbal counter-offensive with his lawyers goung on every available outlet, and advancing HIS arguments (the “sock drawer case” etc.) so that by the time the AG had his press conference 24 hrs later, it was anti-climactic.
He continued that, with each of the “cases” brought against him, and in case you hsven’t noticed, the strategy WORKED.
So let’s hope they suspend some AP reporters from the Brady Room for the example I just gave. I hope I notice that, if it happens.
PDJT need not do this.
The acting AG must push back on the “disloyal to the President” narrative.
The point I was making to Dutchman is that whoever does the pushback, it must be done loudly and long. Countering propaganda lies cannot be done subtly, you have to get out the big sledgehammer and vigorously whack it to death, you can’t whisper the truth politely, you have to shout it out using your biggest loudest voice. That’s the point of suspending the AP reporters from the Brady Room for a month. Fake news will report that and lie about the reason for doing it, so you suspend fake news reporters from other organisations as well. Pretty soon, the only unsuspended reporters in the press briefings are going to be from alt news sites, and who cares. Everyone will situp and pay attention to something like that, and everyone will understand why its being done, because it’s a simple message with public appeal: the WH does not and will not tolerate wilful lies from fake news anymore, and no right thinking person can possibly object to that policy.
Good idea. Maybe give it a cool name, like “Rapid Response 47.”
https://nevadanewsandviews.com/trumps-new-rapid-response-47-fights-back-against-fake-news/
It is good, but it’s not loud enough, it’s not hard enough. You have to smash fake news like JFK threatened to do to the CIA. You have to destroy it, scatter it to the four winds. One team on Truth Social making posts that less than a million people will ever read, is not enough.
“Without Merit.”
That should be a major criminal offense to anyone that does that.
Accelerate this process exponentially throughout the Federal Government.
Quick scrolling, I thought the hat looks like Make Jesus Great Again, 😉 We need that
Fa…..nominal!
Trump should just make Acting Attorney General James McHenry the AG .
NO! Once Bodi is confirmed, she is prevented from firing anyone for 180 days after she is confirmed.
Our President Trump is exploiting a loophole, which puts no duch restriction on an “ACTING” appointee.
Lol, take as long as you like, to confirm my nominees, Congress!
Thats the real reason we see CONgress moving so fast on these confirmation hearings.
Trump is BRILLIANT! How else could he light a fire under the Senate to get people confirmed??
Send them home on administrative leave with pay but they cannot return unless permitted. They can’t cause any more trouble or destroy evidence if they are locked out of offices and computer systems.
They can sit at home fearing the grand piano ready to fall on them.
Firing sounds great to me.
Garland and his numerous cronies need to be prosecuted for attempting to frame a president.

I’m not tired of winning!
McHenry might be a better A.G. than Kash Patel!
Kash is head of FBI. Bondi is the AG.
Oops….no coffee yet…I stand well corrected🫣
Kash is FBI.
Despite the mix up, yes, put a rabid attack dog in as acting and watch how quickly his nominations are confirmed.
Any chance they could put Matt Gatz in as Acting???
Kash Patel is up for FBI. Pam Bondi was voted out by the Senate Judicial Committee for US Attorney General.
“Monday’s norm-shattering move”
Those within the System still do not understand norm-shattering moves are what the American people voted for, and expect.
“They broke our rules! ”

The reason that the Russia Russia investigation continued on after it became known that it was bogus is that they were investigating all of President Trump, looking for anything that they could use to remove him. The Mueller investigation proved that President Trump is so squeaky clean that they had to use lawfare preemptively to try to keep him from being elected in 2024.
They are not done and so it looks like President Trump has taken of the mantra “The best defense is an aggressive offense”.
The mueller investigation continued on as long as it did, because the plan eas to goad PDJT into firing Mueller and team, so that that could be used as grounds to impeach.
Whrn it became clear that nothing the team could do, would motivate PDJT to firimg them, they had to wind down their investigation.
Winding down the “investigation” aka Bagpipes giving Herr Mueller and Herr Weissmann a graceful exit.
Do we know if Biden pardoned them?
Main DOJ building in DC evacuated, EMS on scene.
Was it a way to get EVERYONE out, and then only let certain ones back in, lol.
Or was it cover for a few to try do destroy documents, wipe hard drives in order to try to eliminate evidence?
Or, was it “just a bomb threat”?
Weld the doors shut behind them…. One way to clear it out…
By tradition the Communists remain to continue their plots.
“New Rules: We Win, They Lose.”

More winning! Keep it coming! Promises made promises kept. Drain that swamp.
… let’s hope Bondi doesn’t get confirmed anytime soon
Good point, they, the scum bags deserve themselves a few more months of Acting Attorney General James McHenry. Go ahead senate and keep dragging your feet.
This is how PDJT used Ric Grenell to get Radcliffe into place as DNI.
DOJ building evacuated, emergency order.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/developing-justice-department-building-reportedly-evacuated-due-unknown/
Probably from the fumes of the burning docs and cell phones.
Potentially disturbing news has unfolded at the DOJ just over one week into the Trump administration.
DOJ employees were seen today in DC evacuating the DOJ building supposedly due to an ‘unknown threat.’ Emergency crews, including law enforcement and specialized response units, are currently on the scene assessing the situation.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/developing-justice-department-building-reportedly-evacuated-due-unknown/
Burning lithium batteries are a health threat?
Who knew?
Heard that Jamaal Bowman was at DOJ today.
Bringing in the brain trust?
Pulling some fire alarms could delay firings.
😆 Parfait! 😆
The Deep State bugging team doesn’t need that long. And to spirit out the most incriminating data.
A brief evacuation is enough.
Bondi needs to send in a de-bugging team the moment she enters the building.
I just remembered, these were the clapping seals for Garland. 😉
If RFK Jr. isn’t approved, are there options for shutting down all or parts of HHS?
There IS an alternative, and no I am not talking about recess appointments.
Just move the #2 guy up to “acting” and leave him there, and then appoint Jr. as his “Predidential Envoy” with total authority over all health related matters, much as he did Homan.
No Senate confirmation neccesary, but he is effectively in charge, with even more authority than he would have as Sect. of HHS.
Life’s a B***h and then you become one. No more bullying Patriots.
Meanwhile, somewhere near the Southern border right now….
forgive me, to much winning all at once.
Now you’ve got Pete Buttigig’s attention.
Eeewww, but humorous anyway!
DOJ lawyers are exempt employees (Excepted Service) and not covered by Civil Service protection. In addition, they are not covered by any labor union agreement, either.
Fire every prosecutor in the Washington DC US Attorney’s Office along with every prosecutor in the SDNY and EDNY!
Then file a bill to ELIMINATE the Washington DC District Court. No District Court = No District Judges! No impeachment is needed for judges in a district court that no longer exists.
This will send a message to the entire DOJ and the federal court system!
Put the punishment of the process on the other jackboot.
Seem to recall that President Bill Clinton’s administration “fired all 93 U.S. attorneys” when Janet Reno became attorney general in March 1993……PDT has a ways to go.
The U.S. Attorneys ARE political appointees.
The ones Our President Trump just fired, were CAREER lawyers, at DOJ and thats different.
However, as the recent SCOTUS decision confirms, he can fire anyone in the Executive branch, he has that plenary authority.
All government lawyers are Excepted Service and not Civil Service. There’s a distinction between Presidential appointments and Excepted Service appointments like lawyers, scientists and doctors. They can also be sacked!
I heard through the grapevine that Bill Clinton rehired them
soon after, after making them sign a new contract/agreement.
“…….Clinton’s administration “fired all 93 U.S. attorneys……..”
I seem to recall W’s administration did something similar. Either way, it’s well within the President’s authority to hire, and fire U.S. Attorneys at his discretion. And it’s within the short memory of the news media to make a big fuss about it, regardless of who is in office.
I like how the article depicts the firing of these miscreants on the basis that they are not loyal to the president. The basis is that they are disloyal to the Constitution and corruptly misapplied the rule of law.
Legal action should be taken to disbar them along with being banned from federal employment for life. Firing them is not a punishment that fits the crime.
I hope the back up fill President Trump has on these cretins makes it to us.
Got me again, back up file, of course.
.
Yippee Kai Ay
Ho Ho Ho!
Purging the enemy of the people is the reason
What about the myriads of DOJ staff who lined the hallways and applauded as Garland departed on his last day.
They approved of all the dirt that was done to PDJT.
Wanna know where my mindset is? When I first read “deployment of Lawfare” my brain saw “Department of Lawfare”.
In the spirit of not pretending I don’t accept the Washington AP’s premise that the firing has anything to do with (dis)loyalty to the President.
The fired prosecutors are disloyal to the constitution & the law regardless of who is the President.
That’s what makes them unfit to be employed in a capacity that allows the gubmint to literally take away people’s freedom.
“The fired prosecutors are disloyal to the constitution & the law regardless of who is the President.”
^^^^^THIS^^^^^
I reccommend Geoff Shepard as a baseline for DOJ corruption. Hint Watergate was a coup. Hopefully Trump will declassify remaining Watergate stuff along with JFK, etc..
He has written three books, given dozens of lectures and written dozens of essays. As detailed below, he was technical consultant to an off-Broadway stage play in 2021 (“Trial on the Potomac”), did a series of podcasts with Hugh Hewitt in 2020 (“Known Unknowns: Watergate”), and taught an adult education course at Temple University in 2019 (Watergate Revisited: An Insider’s View”).
His most recent project is a documentary, “Watergate Secrets and Betrayals, Orchestrating Nixon’s Demise,” written and directed by George Bugatti and narrated by John O’Hurley, which will be released on August 8, 2024, the 50th Anniversary of President Nixon’s resignation.
If it can be done, Lawfare needs to be banned from working with our congress. They’ve shown themselves to be against and not for the constitution.
Andrew Weissmann keep laughing
It’s not enough. Prosecutorial Immunity cannot possibly extend to criminal conduct.
Every day is like Christmas! I never thought it would be this good.
Why are these goons not prosecuted? Talk about Catch and Release…..
“Norm-shattering” just exactly like the last six presidents have done? It’s a wonder we’re not all sick all the time from reading the State media narrative-pushing.
WOOHOO!
