[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel reasonably safe as a criminal AUSA.  We perform a core constitutional function and there’s really no fat to cut.  Every attorney in my office works 60 hours a week, save for a handful of people in highly niche roles.[/quote]

I wish you well, but what you describe (core function, no fat) isn't unique. It just comes down to whether Trump or Musk see you as an enemy. I would have thought everybody in DOJ saw that up close. [/quote]

There are only 6000 AUSAs and the overwhelming majority prosecute a mix of violent street crime, drug distribution, gun, child exploitation, and immigration offenses.  I don’t see Trump or Musk coming at us.

Obviously those who have worked on high-profile cases unpopular with this administration (J6, FACE Act cases) are differently situated.  [/quote]

And just as obviously that points the way to other prosecutions to later be disfavored, and the people who worked on them fired and replaced by political appointees.

I hope it doesn’t happen. But no one can afford to be complacent. [/quote]

Huh?  They won't allow cases to be prosecuted that they don't want prosecuted.  [/quote]
