The Purge Continues: Biden To Oust Trump-Appointed U.S. Attorneys
The great purge of the dissidents continues, as Joe Stalin, err, Biden, is now calling for all of the Trump era US Attorneys to step down and make room for those who pledge their loyalty to the crown. Over 50 U.S. Attorneys are being targeted by the regime. Strangely enough, two key attorneys will remain in place; Durham and David Weiss. Make what you will of that.
Politico reports:
The Biden administration is preparing to remove nearly all the remaining federal prosecutors former President Donald Trump appointed across the country, while making accommodations to allow a couple handling highly sensitive investigations to continue with their work, a senior Justice Department official said Monday night.
U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, a Trump appointee who is overseeing a probe into the finances of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, has been asked to “holdover” in his current post despite the broader personnel overhaul, said the official.
In addition, U.S. Attorney for Connecticut John Durham — who is conducting a special counsel investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe — has been asked to continue as special counsel while vacating his U.S. attorney slot, said the senior official, who asked not to be identified.
Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson is expected to hold a conference call Tuesday with U.S. attorneys to inform nearly all those holding presidential appointments that they are being asked to resign, the official said, confirming a CNN report about the plans.
Wilkinson’s request is expected to apply to 56 prosecutors. The remainder are already career prosecutors serving on an acting basis or interim U.S. attorneys appointed by federal judges.
While most new Presidents try to flush out previous administration appointees, this is apparently the most sought this quickly since Clinton and his henchperson, Janet Reno, ousted all 93 Reagan and Bush Sr. appointees , as NBC, via Yahoo, adds:
In 2017, President Donald Trump abruptly ordered the resignation of 46 U.S. attorneys who were holdovers from the Obama administration.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who at the time was ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said then that in the past there had been orderly transitions, and she was “very concerned about the effect of this sudden and unexpected decision on federal law enforcement.”
In 2006, under the George W. Bush administration, there was a controversy after eight U.S. attorneys were fired.
In 1993, Attorney General Janet Reno demanded the resignations of all 93 U.S. attorneys in the early days of the Clinton administration.
Senile Ol’ Joe then starts talking out of the other side of his mouth, as Huffington Post adds:
Biden has said he won’t
