Attorneys at the Department of Justice are apparently “terrified” and “losing their minds” over President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

Politico described a “collective sense of dread” that has taken over the DOJ since the 2024 election, with career attorneys “considering heading for the exits rather than sticking around to find out whether threats from Trump and his allies are real or campaign bluster.” The outlet listed those threats as “mass firings” and “expelling special counsel Jack Smith from the country.”

“Everyone I’ve talked to, mostly lawyers, are losing their minds,” one DOJ attorney told the outlet. “The fear is that career leadership and career employees everywhere are either going to leave or they’re going to be driven out.” (MORE: IRS, FBI, DOJ Knew Hunter Biden Laptop ‘Was Real’ Immediately: SOURCE)

Terrified Of Being Replaced

“Many federal employees are terrified that we’ll be replaced with partisan loyalists — not just because our jobs are on the line, but because we know that our democracy and country depend on a government supported by a merit-based, apolitical civil service,” trial attorney for the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ, Stacey Young, told Politico.

Smith and the DOJ immediately ended their cases against Trump after he won reelection, citing their policy that presidents cannot be prosecuted, according to Trending Politics’ co-owner Collin Rugg.

How To Keep Your Power

We just had an election where a lot of people lost their jobs, and a lot of new people are coming in to work for you, the American people. These elected officials don’t get to start their job until January 20th, 2025, so what do we do with this time until then? We start as we mean to move forward.

Our goal is to get ready through this time of transition by helping you exercise your knowledge, power, and influence over your community and the rest of this country. This is how we get your elected officials to keep working for you. And this is how we rebuild the American Dream.

Yes, Million Voices helps you with voter guides during elections — we’ll have more for you come the Midterm in 2026. Yes, we send letters directly to your elected officials because it’s the only way to guarantee they’ll listen to you. Yes, we publish data, articles, text messages, and help bridge the gap between education and civic action. All of these actions and more allow you to be the hero of our American story. And you are united in your heroism like never before! But are you active?

Join us in our mission to advocate for religious freedom, support fair and secure elections, and uphold the values that this great nation was built upon. Tell us what you want from the next four years, and we will fight to make it a reality … again!
