Are DOJ employees’ jobs safe?

[Anonymous]

How will the new administration go about dealing with DOJ? Will DOJ get any funding at all to hire new employees in the next 4 years?

Our office already is down attorneys and has no budget to hire more.

Does anyone have an idea of specifics of how this plays out?

Def not jack smith’s job.

So ... you work at DOJ ... since you say "our office." Are you a lawyer?

Because your post so oversimplifies things, and is so overbroad, as to be almost nonsensical. But I'll answer your question: No -- no one has any "idea of specifics of how this plays out."

Every fed is now at the whim of whatever Trump wants to do. Godspeed to you all.

No. You all spent the last 4 years persecuting Trump. What do you think he’s going to do?

Oh man, I love it when a DCUM a**hole uses a nonsensical, grammatically incorrect sentence to comment about someone's post being "almost nonsensical". That sentence is a real cliffhanger. Because your post... as to be almost nonsensical.... ????? what???

Classic DCUM.

Yes, I’m sure some DOJ atty in antitrust or civil frauds was really involved in prosecuting Trump, or some random AUSA in Kansas City.

DOJ will likely remain flat or cut a few duplicative offices in the next few years. It is one of the few necessary agencies that is needed in the Fed government. Many of the other functions of these agencies can be slimmed down and delegated to the states to handle.

Because all of the states have sooooo much money to take over vital roles and duplicate existing resources times 50. I though you guys were the party of efficiency?

Such as? Please name all the “many” functions and agencies. We already know ED is on your list, so you can skip that one. What are the “many” others?

How about education policy and funding? Not a federal issue except for culture war purposes.

The PP said other than education - and where are the states getting the money to find whatever activity you want to stop having the federal govt do? I’m not saying there’s not waste. Of course there is - but coming in with a wrecking ball is not the way to address.

Did the attorneys leave and the jobs were not back filled?

I know a few people who left DOJ but it was because they did not like the return to office requirements of their specific components. They left for jobs with more flexibility

Which office? For example, I would say that National Courts, which defends Government contracts litigation, will see little effect. Civil right, probably a significant effect.

Right, good luck with your autistic kids because those therapies will go bye bye.
