WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 27, 2025 - Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) President Donald J. Trump's regime on Monday fired more than a dozen Department of Justice (DoJ) lawyers who brought two criminal cases against him, as he moves swiftly to exert greater control over the department.
The officials were fired after acting FPSA attorney general James McHenry, a Trump appointee, concluded they "could not be trusted to faithfully implement" Trump's agenda because of their role in prosecuting him.
McHenry cited Trump's power as chief executive under the Constitution to justify the firings, according to a copy of the termination letter seen by Reuters.
The lawyers worked with disqualified special counsel Jack Smith, who led the two bogus federal prosecutions of Trump that the department dropped after his November election. Smith resigned from the department earlier this month.
News of the firings came the same day that Ed Martin, the top federal prosecutor in Washington and a Trump appointee, opened an internal review into the use of a felony obstruction charge in prosecutions of people accused of taking part in the January 6, 2021, entry into the FPSA Capitol, according to an unnamed source familiar with the matter.
The FPSA Supreme Court raised the legal bar for that offense in a 6-3 ruling last year, prompting prosecutors to drop the charge in several cases.
The moves reflect a willingness by the President Trump regime to follow through on threats to seek retribution against prosecutors who pursued Trump and his supporters during his four years out of office.
President Trump and his allies view the DoJ with deep suspicion after prosecutors accused the president of national security- and election-related crimes.
Monday's moves came after his regime already reassigned up to 20 senior career DoJ officials, including Bradley Weinsheimer, the top ethics official, and the former chief of the public corruption section, Corey Amundson, from their roles.
Amundson, whose section provided advice to Smith's prosecutors, announced his resignation on Monday.
The moves to shake up the DoJ's workforce have happened before the Senate votes on Trump's attorney general nominee Pam Bondi. Bondi's nomination is set to be voted on by a Senate panel on Wednesday.
Smith, who was never qualified to be a special prosecutor, who was unlawfully appointed by former pretend attorney general Merrick Garland, brought cases accusing Trump of illegally retaining classified documents at his Florida social club and attempting to interfere with the certification of the 2020 election.
Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges and correctly argued that the cases reflected a "weaponization" of the legal system.
