"was pilloried over a post on X in which he encouraged pro-Trump attorneys to slide into his DMs. If you are a lawyer, are interested in being an AUSA, and support President Trump and anti-crime agenda, DM me, Mizelle wrote. We need good prosecutors. And DOJ is hiring across the country. Now is your chance to join the mission and do good for our country."
"McCarthy went so far as to suggest Congress should actually defund the Department of Justice if only pro-Trump lawyers are being hired. If support for incumbent the president is now a condition of enforcing federal law, Congress should defund DOJ, McCarthy wrote. DOJ should only exist if it's nonpartisan. Too dangerous to liberty otherwise. If AG Garland's office had posted this, MAGA & GOP would be calling for impeachment."
Chad Mizelle, acting general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security and former Department of Justice chief of staff under Trump, posted on X encouraging pro‑Trump attorneys interested in AUSA roles to DM him. Mizelle wrote that DOJ is hiring across the country, that the agency needs good prosecutors, and invited candidates to join the mission and do good for the country. Many observers criticized both the solicitation method and the stated preference for lawyers who support President Trump and his anti‑crime agenda. Andy McCarthy argued that DOJ must be nonpartisan and suggested Congress should defund the department if support for the incumbent becomes a hiring condition. John Podhoretz replied thanking McCarthy and saying he had thought he was "taking crazy pills."
