Excising the Cancer in Our Institutions

One thing that was clear from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony temper tantrum in front of the House Judiciary Committee this week is that the Justice Department as we knew it is gone. Over. Kaput. Buh-bye. I had predicted as much with the FBI last August, but I thought the lawyers might last a bit longer. Nope. The Justice Department’s workforce is now so drained that it’s advertising for lawyers on X — and the main criteria appears to be that you support Trump:

Just as context, working for the Justice Department used to be one of the most competitive, prestigious jobs you could get as a lawyer. Only a select few joined the entry-level honors program right out of law school. Most people — even top law students coming out of top law schools — spent several years working for law firms before vying for highly coveted spots at U.S. Attorney’s offices across the country or at Main Justice.

Now you send a DM on X to some guy named Chad.
