WASHINGTON—Justice Department lawyers who have angered President-elect Donald Trump and his allies are facing tough decisions about whether to stay in government—and how to best protect themselves from threats of retribution after Inauguration Day.
Dozens of prosecutors and agents have worked on cases that potentially make them vulnerable, such as special counsel investigations of Trump, prosecutions of hundreds of his supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and contempt-of-Congress cases that sent top Trump associates Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to prison this year.
Their concerns are part of a broader wave of uncertainty that has swept through the Justice Department since Trump’s re-election, as he and his appointees openly float plans to fire career employees and bring the department more closely under presidential control.
Some department lawyers on the fence about leaving have sought counsel from Attorney General Merrick Garland and other senior officials, who have encouraged them to stay on for continuity of government and for their expertise, people familiar with the discussions said. more
Let them all burn.
The lawyers that don’t like it can help Pam Bondi clean house by taking the trash out ahead of time = themselves. I doubt these lawyers will find much sympathy with the voting public …

No quarter for traitors
Seppuku – take the honorable way.
Sorry for using the word “honorable” associated with “lawyers” and “DOJ.”
Didn’t mean to make anyone vomit.

If they did nothing wrong there’s nothing to worry about.
So if they’re worried they must be feeling guilty about something.
A lot can happen in 21 days.
Shove that blanket pardon in front of me and I’ll sign it. Not a joke.
“…lawyers who have angered President-elect Donald Trump…”
Angered? Really? They applied extreme lawfare to try to ruin him and so many MAGA people.
The slimey way this was worded should encourage President Trump to go after them harder.
