Massively. That’s a huge chunk of any USAO. And training takes time.

Reposted from Aubrey Gilleran

Am I wrong to think that firing 30 AUSAs will just make prosecuting crime in the district more difficult?

Let’s all drive to DC and commit felonies!

dbc105.bsky.social•23 days ago

Trump will eliminate procecutions, giving perdons to 1800 people that attacked the US Capital has shown criminals that they now come 1st.

wolflawyer.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes but given what they probably intend to happen with the judicial branch I can’t imagine the competence of their lawyers is much of a concern.

syncpol.bsky.social•23 days ago

The most important thing is that they feel the rage of Trump. Training, expertise, ability...that's for other people.

ericcolumbus.bsky.social•23 days ago

WaPo says it’s 8% of the DC USAO, which is massive because it’s also the equivalent of a DA’s office.

Y’all are gullible
There’s a coup happening and too many if you focusing on ( in that respect) minor wrongs.

It’s a coup - take the FBI , already got the military- next is taking the free press
Wake the fuck yo kids

They've had the press for a while.

jandcochran.bsky.social•23 days ago

Isn’t there an army of 28 y/o FedSoc chuds ready to go?

ramapo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Following orders and a script doesn't take much training.

crazysaguaro.com•23 days ago

Feature, not a bug

wiseowl374.bsky.social•23 days ago

What the heck is this going to do to ongoing litigation? Can’t imagine the DA’s office can just shuffle this many cases around easily.

hoot-n-nanny.bsky.social•22 days ago

But that's plan, isn't it?
It's all blatantly obvious and 90% of people aren't paying any attention.

aczub.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bold of you to think they will be trained.

antimattermorrigan.bsky.social•23 days ago

Does this make things easier on defense attorneys?

Or is this just going to be a money suck for your clients? I keep thinking this is going to shoot Trump's revenge tour in the foot but I can't be sure

chucky-dub.bsky.social•23 days ago

Were they regular staff AUSAs at DDC or were they brought on for those cases? Just curious

kieslowskifan1.bsky.social•23 days ago

There are only so many Fox News hosts that can fill these positions!

gretacrow.bsky.social•22 days ago

A criminal’s wet dream come true.

g8erlaw68.bsky.social•23 days ago

That assumes they give a shit about AUSAs being trained and good at their jobs. Based upon the cast of characters running through Senate confirmations right now, not sure that assumption holds water.

cliffysmalls.bsky.social•23 days ago

It’s a good time for white collar criminals!

okaydumbass.bsky.social•23 days ago

I'm struggling with the assumption that anyone in Trump's DOJ will want to prosecute crimes. I envision it more as a payments center.

kimphilbywasbad.bsky.social•22 days ago

Good news is, it will also make purely political prosecutions more difficult

marthawt.bsky.social•22 days ago

All part of their intent.

therealdwoo.bsky.social•23 days ago

😑 frightening

ukrainewarpod.bsky.social•23 days ago

Anyone involved in this illegal purge should lose their bar licenses.

meatieocre.bsky.social•23 days ago

Not with AI!

lawzag.bsky.social•23 days ago

When other people's liberty is a stake, it is good to throw some green prosecutors in the mix.

jaymo31415.bsky.social•23 days ago

How about newbie prosecutors who desperately want to show their loyalty to an autocrat?

ander517.bsky.social•23 days ago

I'm a little surprised anyone who prosecuted the 1/6 defendants stuck around after the first felon was reelected.

michaellubic.bsky.social•23 days ago

Not a bug, it's a feature.

palolololo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Good idea if you plan on more criming.

mikebrode.bsky.social•23 days ago

Training won’t take much time if the only requirement is fealty to dear leader.

masspolprofmo.bsky.social•22 days ago

Plus all that mentoring. gone.

gedtophd.bsky.social•23 days ago

The chilling effect is a major problem.

At what point will an AUSA's job depend on prosecuting the people named on Trump's revenge list?

I really hope the federal bench can cure selective prosecution.

aubreygilleran.bsky.social•23 days ago

So I guess they'll just blame the city's local leadership when crime spikes, even though the AUSA purge will be their fault.

kenwhite.bsky.social•23 days ago

DC’s office is weird - there are AUSAs who are like AUSAs everywhere and AUSAs who are like DAs doing local crime.

onecommonsensemom.bsky.social•22 days ago

A massive hit to prosecuting basic crime. Hat, I need some encouragement here. Had the meltdown tonight, mourning the loss of you know, the law.

dbluestone.bsky.social•23 days ago

When do they cut off the funding for the U.S. Marshalls?

pamelaporter.bsky.social•23 days ago

I have a question, if you have the time. Who has standing to bring Elon's unlawful activities within US gov't offices in front of a judge?

No. You are absolutely right!

njbrpe.bsky.social•23 days ago

open season for the barely disguised louts, graspers, grabbers and outright criminals in the GOP caucus

claydowling.bsky.social•23 days ago

Given who is doing the firing, I'm pretty sure that the plan is to make sure there's nobody around to prosecute crime.

ninguna.bsky.social•23 days ago

That and no OIGs means lots of federal malfeasance.

bigg1.bsky.social•23 days ago

That’s the point

davekearnjr.bsky.social•23 days ago

Can they just be fired “for cause?” No protections?

chuckgoat.bsky.social•23 days ago

There's probably gonna be some resignation too. If I was there, seeing that happening, I'd be looking for my next job.

rumpole-brief.bsky.social•23 days ago

Do he sent 30 talented lawyers into the private sector to man thw barricades against the Trump DOJ stumbling mission?

Interesting tactic.

jasski.bsky.social•23 days ago

Could this cause a violation of the 6th amendment?

mharris15.bsky.social•23 days ago

And good luck getting competent people to fill the vacancies. Certainly not the caliber of attorney who would apply to work for a capable, uncorrupted and trustworthy USAO.
