I’m the poster above, and it absolutely does happen in the current environment, particularly in law enforcement offices. This wasn’t always the case, but with the current deep divide between progressive prosecutors and those that are seen as law and order types it absolutely does. If a progressive is taking over they want to bring in a bunch of former public defenders to effectuate change from the inside, if a law and order type is taking over they want to bring in career prosecutors.

And who cares if some human trafficking victims fall through the cracks in the process? It’s not like they’re real people.

One of a handful of instances when far-Left prosecutors in Virginia showed any concern for the victims of a crime

Not really. Because the people doing the trafficking of these young women are not the type people those prosecutors are interested in putting in jail.

I’m guessing that the folks in the AGs office were working with the victims of trafficking. The prosecution of traffickers would likely be handled by federal prosecutors. Also, progressive prosecutors aren’t good at actual prosecution on the rare occasions they deem it necessary, because they purge the office of all experienced prosecutors upon arrival.

This. I’m a former prosecutor who has experienced the change in administration from a law and order approach to a progressive approach. Same thing happened, the newly elected progressive came in and wanted every career prosecutor gone, without a thought to what their caseload was or how to transition. This is how things go nowadays with these positions being so politicized.

The previous AG was left wing. So be it. Right wing AG in town now.

Do you understand what it means to have summarily fired the entire civil rights division.

He could have left them on the health insurance for 90 days. Same with severance. Too bad.

No, step back from what happens to the individual former employees for a moment. Do you understand what the civil rights division does, and the significance of firing everyone despite the current case load? Please explain your understanding of the implication of that, if you can.

Oh that? Yeah you can discuss the implications. Pretty terrible. Too bad 45% of Loudoun voters didn't think of the consequences on November 2nd.

And yet Loudoun still swung BLUE.

It didn’t swing BLUE. It voted less BLUE. Still BLUE, but less so.

What the hell?

I don’t vote republican because their policies are even worse for the working class and worsen social inequity. But JFC how much do you think the average person who is struggling cares about a couple of state level lawyers (read, people who make more $$$ than most and have more opportunity to land on their feet) and the fate of some housing discrimination lawsuits?

Many of us who “care” about this are somewhat concerned about the lawyers, and extremely concerned about discrimination lawsuits in general. We’re also either old enough, educated enough, or both: to remember and understand the deep history of racial discrimination in Virginia — and the role of lawyers, who you’re so blithely dismissing, in making even a modicum of progress.
You’re focusing on the salaries of a few people. Some of us are focusing on the civil rights of significant numbers of citizens. Get the difference? If you find this “laughable “ that really says a lot about you.

The entire division is not gone, as much as the hysterics want to proclaim this. The AG is remaking the division, as every AG before him has done. He will probably make sure it runs more efficiently with less duplication of effort. Democrats are such whiny hypocrites.
