Whiny DOJ Lifers Start Support Group
[Declassified] Why do presumably tough law enforcement officials need intense therapy and group hugs to get over losing their jobs at the Trump Department of Justice? And what does this say about the DOJ?

It takes a special kind of hubris to help destroy the public’s trust in what was once one of the most trusted institutions in America only to write a sanctimonious letter on your way out the door blaming others for what happened.

Such is the typical mindset of hundreds if not thousands of former employees of the U.S. Department of Justice. Since November 2024, the media has covered a nonstop belch of resignation letters, social media posts, and dire warnings of doom authored by DOJ employees either forced out by Trump officials or who walked out on their own accord amid political disagreements with their new DOJ bosses.

One of the most recent missives, as I covered last month, involved dozens of DOJ has-beens opposed to the confirmation of Ed Martin, the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. A few of the signatories, as they call themselves, left the office before Martin was even born. (The president pulled Martin’s appointment amid opposition from key Republican Senators; Martin will now head the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group.)

Another target of the cottage industry of ex-DOJ crybabies is Harmeet Dhillon, head of the civil rights division. After taking office last month, Dhillon, a longtime conservative attorney, issued a series of memos informing her employees that the office’s mission would align with the president’s priorities rather than the political goals of the Democratic Party. The move led to a groundswell of opposition within the division’s ranks, prompting many lawyers to make plans for the exit.

A former senior DOJ official called the departure of top employees at the division, last seen under the Biden regime hauling 70-year-old women to federal prison for protesting at abortion clinics, "a complete bloodbath."
