Staff Reports
The Biden Administration is facing another round of turbulence thanks to the Trump administration’s recent tactics to drain the swamp, specifically within the Department of Justice. In a move that has left a gaggle of Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys scratching their heads, the DOJ effectively shut down their electronic devices, leading to whispered rumors of termination. After all, nothing says “we’re cleaning house” quite like a surprise tech blackout.
A whopping 22 of these officials woke up to a pleasant surprise last Friday when they found themselves locked out of their devices, leaving them to wonder if they had just been unceremoniously fired or if they accidentally wandered into a sci-fi movie plot. Reports suggest that this digital execution was carried out without so much as a ‘see you later’ or an explanation. Speculation ran rampant, and given the rapid turnover rates typical of new administrations, one might argue this is par for the course.
YOU'RE FIRED!!!

Interestingly, this latest development from the DOJ coincides with the administration’s recent mission to eradicate Biden picks from key positions. According to the archives of political norms, this tactic has been in play since the days of Bill Clinton. The game plan here seems to revolve around replacing prior appointees with fresh faces who might align a little closer to the current administration’s ideologies. However, many might wonder whether the Biden-appointed attorneys laid low enough to survive the frenzy.
While the electronic devices were being fried, the broader strategy at the DOJ involved some rather pressing concerns. Recent reports indicated that attorneys were given a mere two days to justify why they should keep their jobs. The good folks at the DOJ apparently have their attention primarily focused on those not dealing with pressing issues like immigration and national security. Talk about a great way to focus the ship on the really critical stuff – such as making sure no one has a light-hearted take on public safety.
In a delightful development that would make anyone chuckle, the acting Deputy Attorney General has thrown a curveball by announcing planned transfers to border districts. Meanwhile, the border czar is weighing the legal implications of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s potential sanctuary city status. The idea of prosecuting officials who decide to flout federal laws has some conservatives feeling giddy – a fresh twist in the ongoing battle over immigration policies. It appears that the Trump administration is revving up not just to change the players at the DOJ, but to delineate clearly where the boundaries of state versus federal power lie. It’s a game of high stakes poker, and one can only imagine the next hand being dealt.
