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.
