Some Justice Department Lawyers Look for Protection—and the Exits​

Officials who worked on politically sensitive cases weigh moves ahead of Donald Trump’s second term​

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 associatesSteve 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.

They haven't, and any case brought against them won't even be entertained by a court, much less heard.

The cases that will still be waiting on Trump on the otherhand....

I really didn't think anything could beat the feeling from 2016 but I was wrong.
