It’s a day ending in “y,” so of course we have another Trump hit piece on Sunday from the reliable ole New York Times.
You should be worried, they write — very worried — because a whole bunch of Deep State lawyers are jumping ship at the Department of Justice, leaving the agency understaffed and unprepared. Oh no! If there’s one thing most sane Americans would vote for, it’s fewer lawyers.
Meanwhile, many long-term DOJ attorneys thoroughly debased themselves during the Joe Biden-Merrick Garland lawfare and oppression regime, and they don’t deserve to continue on. Adios.
Here’s what The Times thinks should be keeping you awake at night:
President Trump’s upheaval of the federal government has led to an exodus of more than 10,000 lawyers since the beginning of 2025, a striking loss of legal talent that has left some agencies pushing to find attorneys to carry out his agenda.
Roughly one in five lawyers who worked in the government at the end of 2024 had left by March of this year, according to a New York Times analysis of federal employment data.
The Gray Lady noted that many of the lawyers who resigned did so because they didn’t agree with Trump’s policies. This is a bad thing?
The president thinks it’s a mighty fine outcome, thank you, and he blasted the outlet on Sunday for its notoriously biased coverage:
He’s happy to say goodbye to the lunatics:
The New York Times wrote a story today entitled, “Trump Administration Sees Striking Exodus of Legal Talent,” as though that’s a bad thing, when actually, it’s very good. The people that are leaving are Radical Left Deep State Lunatics, who are destroying our Country, and Weaponizing Government. Many of them didn’t leave, but were fired! The Failing New York Times writes this, but makes it sound like it’s a terrible thing when actually, it’s just the opposite. We want people that will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, not people that are trying to destroy our Country, that were put in by Obama and Biden and, in many cases, they shouldn’t have been representing the U.S.A. in the first place. Let them go on to “bigger, better, and brighter” things in the future — I fully support that, and wish them all well! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Look, lawyers are allegedly people too, and we need them to write and enforce our laws, negotiate contracts, defend the accused, and so much more. In the federal government, however, what we don’t need are anti-administration zealots undermining the duly elected president’s agenda. We saw the Deep State at work throughout Trump’s first term, and we don’t need to see it again.
By the way, where are a lot of these malcontents going? You guessed it: to make lots of money fighting for leftist causes:
Instead, many of those looking for such work are flocking to the offices of Democratic state attorneys general and nonprofits that are challenging administration policies in the courts, boosting Mr. Trump’s opponents with seasoned lawyers.
Riiiight. Didn’t you just prove the point, NYT, that these people had no business working in a Trump administration? Go peddle your leftist trash elsewhere.
LOL — there is a CONTINUAL exit of “legal talent” from DOJ.
It’s commonly called “lucrative private practice” and that option exists 24/7/365 for attorneys in their 30s and 40s in DOJ.
This is just dumb. https://t.co/PdkFvgcNli

To all my RedState lawyer colleagues and friends, I apologize. I know that you are more than “allegedly” human. In the case of the many DOJ lawyers who are anti-Trump, however, you’re basically acting as spies and saboteurs.
Please empty your desk before you get the hell out.
