Hours after President Trump's inauguration, his administration began reassigning at least 15 top career officials at the Justice Department, including key figures from the National Security Division. These changes were framed as necessary adjustments to confront what Trump and his allies perceived as a politicized bureaucracy. The Civil Rights Division was instructed to halt most operations until a Trump appointee could be confirmed. The article critiques the perceived politicization of the DOJ and reflects on Trump's lessons from previous tenure regarding deep-seated bureaucratic biases.
Bureaucratic partisans be warned: The housecleaning at the Justice Department has begun.
The last eight years have given Trump ample lessons in how deep the rot goes, and what a mistake it was not to clean house the first time 'round.
