Only 2/3 of DOJ lawyers have quit/been purged?

That number seems remarkably low to me, all things considered.

That's interesting since McConnell packed the courts when trump was last president.

@FoxyQueen McConnell's picks are there for life (or impeachment, whichever comes first). These are the career staffers who do the day-to-day grunt work.

2/3rd seems a bit too many for me. It tells me that he fired not only the people who were assigned tasks related to to the Trump investigation, but anyone who ever said to them at the DOJ.

@Northwest he also stuffed district courts that aren't appointed for life. Pretty much, of there was a court, he crammed people in it.

I guess there aren’t enough MAGA lawyers. They should open MAGA law schools. Constitutional law would not be required.

@MistyCee Maybe that can just waive the Constitutional Law requirement. Doesn't seem to help most of the Supreme Court much.
@Bumbles Nah, that's not enough. Historically, it's been pretty much impossible for a lawyer to stay employed by Trump for long and not violate ethical and professional rules.

@MistyCee Good point!
