Washington Post, Justice Department struggles as thousands exit—and few are replaced
D. John Sauer, Esquire, pursued a double major, philosophy and electrical engineering, at Duke. After college, he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, where he earned a degree in theology, followed by a masters in philosophy at Notre Dame. At that point, he felt a call to the bar, prompting him to go to Harvard Law School, where he “made Law Review” and earned a degree magna cum laude. After Harvard Law, Judge Luttig of the Fourth Circuit gladly offered him a position as clerk, and from there he went on to provide his considerable intellectual talents as clerk to Justice Scalia.
No slouch is D. John Sauer, Esquire. As a consequence of his brilliance and prestigious education, Mr. Sauer knew exactly what to tell the judge who asked if it would be A-OK for a president to order Seal Team Six to assassinate a political enemy. “Yessiree bobtail,” readily responded D. John Sauer, Esquire, “that would be just hunky-dory.”
Having achieved victory in the presidential immunity case through the ministrations of D. John Sauer—electrical engineer, philosopher, theologian, and legal scholar—Mango Mussolini knew exactly whom to appoint as Solicitor General, the position Mr. Sauer currently graces.
Clearly, Trump and his Attorney General, Ms. Bondi, would like to shitcan all the normal lawyers from the Justice Department and replace every mother’s son and daughter of them with clones of D. John Sauer, Esquire.
Sadly, however, as the Washington Post reports today, the American bar is not populated by lots of Harvard trained Nazis, eager to replace the thousands of lawyers who have been fired or who have left the Justice Department. Nor are the law schools at Columbia and Harvard and Georgetown filled with eager young Fascist whipper-snappers, read to pour their hearts and souls into the struggle to establish authoritarianism.

Current Justice Department prospective hires are more likely to have political backgrounds than have been typical in the past, coming from Republican congressional offices and advocacy groups, the people familiar with the hiring process said. Others are young attorneys with little relevant experience or mid- to late-career attorneys who have no background in prosecutions.
