Washington Examiner Department of Justice (DOJ) writer Kaelan Deese lamented that despite President Donald Trump’s best efforts to get rid of people in the DOJ hasn’t worked well enough. “Although data reveals a significant level of overall turnover across the DOJ since last year, a series of key career prosecutors and FBI officials tied to controversial investigations during former President Joe Biden‘s tenure remain employed by the department,” Deese wrote. The column went after a longtime prosecutor who has worked on several Jan. 6 cases was “assigned as lead prosecutor in the Jan. 6 pipe bomber case.”Trump allies are complaining that the prosecutor shouldn’t still be at the DOJ in the first place. When asked by A LindellTV personality about the prosecutor in December, Trump said they’re “looking” at “them.” The president then pivoted to saying that everyone at the DOJ must be “looked at.” Over a month later, the prosecutor is still thereDeese goes on to list further targets by the right. One is a 22-year veteran of the DOJ. Three are local prosecutors who handled a case against an anti-abortion activist who blocked the entrance of a clinic and twice assaulted a 72 year-old volunteer, the DOJ press release said. He was ultimately acquitted of the assault and ran for Congress and lost. An assistant under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is another on the list of so-called “holdovers.” Using data from the Office of Management and Budget, out of 35,000 FBI agents, a little over 3,000 have “separated” from the Bureau. Two agents who were supposedly fired didn’t actually get pink slips, according to Deese.It could be a problem for FBI Director Kash Patel, who wrote on Truth Social that the FBI rooted out the “corrupt actors” involved in the Arctic Frost investigation, which involved Trump’s stolen documents and the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
