We’ve told you over the last week how different groups of career officials at the DOJ, from top immigration court attorneys to many other career attorneys, have been reassigned by President Trump’s acting Attorney General, James McHenry III.
Normally this wouldn’t be allowed to happen but Trump has found a loophole – and it has everything to do with the Senate.
Rod D Martin on X gives us the details below, but I’ll let FilmLadd sum it up for you:
The law requires that there be a 120 day “cooling off” period for firings in the DOJ after a new confirmation. But because the Senate is dragging their heels, Trump’s acting AG gets to fire and sideline all the long-term Clinton-Obama holdouts. Own petard, hoisted!
Now here’s the details from Martin:

🔥 BOMBSHELL: Trump's team isn't waiting for Senate confirmations. They're moving NOW, pushing out long-time prosecutors who've been there for YEARS.
These are people who've been politicizing "justice" for years. No longer. The Merrick Garland Reign of Terror is OVER.

Here's the GENIUS part: They found a LOOPHOLE to make this stick.
Federal regulations generally protect career employees from being reassigned for at least 120 days after new leadership takes over.
But Pam Bondi hasn't been confirmed yet. The firings come from the ACTING AG 🤯 pic.twitter.com/rFGND2fjUf

IT GETS EVEN BETTER: Ed Martin – yes, the STOP THE STEAL organizer – is now DC's acting US attorney.
Let that sink in.

Meanwhile, the all-important SDNY gets Danielle Sassoon – the prosecutor who took down Sam Bankman-Fried and prominent sex traffickers. She even clerked for Justice Scalia!
At least SOMEONE has a real track record 🎯 9/16 pic.twitter.com/tYyJvoMIES

This is what draining the swamp looks like in real time. As I've been telling you all week, heads are finally rolling. The Deep State tried to kill Trump, and he's taking no prisoners this time.
