It takes a special kind of hubris to help destroy the public’s trust in
what was once one of the most trusted institutions in America only to
write a sanctimonious letter on your way out the door blaming others for
what happened.

Such is the typical mindset of hundreds if not thousands of former
employees of the U.S. Department of Justice. Since November 2024, the
media has covered a nonstop belch of resignation letters, social media
posts, and dire warnings of doom authored by DOJ employees either forced
out by Trump officials or who walked out on their own accord amid
political disagreements with their new DOJ bosses.

One of the most recent missives, as I covered last month, involved dozens
of DOJ has-beens opposed to the confirmation of Ed Martin, the interim
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. A few of the signatories, as
they call themselves, left the office before Martin was even born. (The president pulled Martin’s appointment amid opposition from key Republican Senators; Martin will now head the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group.)

Another target of the cottage industry of ex-DOJ crybabies is Harmeet
Dhillon, head of the civil rights division. After taking office last
month, Dhillon, a longtime conservative attorney, issued a series of memos informing her employees that the office’s mission would align with the president’s priorities rather than the political goals of the Democratic
Party. The move led to a groundswell of opposition within the division’s
ranks, prompting many lawyers to make plans for the exit.

A former senior DOJ official called the departure of top employees at the division, last seen under the Biden regime hauling 70-year-old women to
federal prison for protesting at abortion clinics, “a complete bloodbath.”

The New York Times reported that at least two-thirds of the division’s
lawyers and support staff are expected to leave in the coming weeks either
as an act of protest or by accepting the administration’s deferred
resignation program, intended to cut the ranks of the federal workforce.

“With the reckless dismantling of the division, we’ll see unchecked discrimination and constitutional violations in schools, housing,
employment, voting, prisons, by police departments and in many other
realms of our daily lives,” former DOJ lawyer Stacey Young told the Times.

Young went on to make more outlandish predictions including claiming the
exodus of career lawyers at DOJ would result in “police officers
shoot[ing] men because they are black.” Watch:

Young is the founder of Justice Connection, which describes itself as a “network of DOJ alumni working to protect our former colleagues who are
under attack.” Part pit bull, part pity party, part Stuart Smalley-type
daily affirmation, Justice Connection is the media’s go-to source to blast
the Trump DOJ for even the most minor personnel move.

“Since coming into power, this administration has purged, threatened, and sidelined career civil servants at the Department of Justice, while
shattering longstanding institutional norms. Justice Connection has been calling out these actions for what they are: a stark repudiation of DOJ’s
core mission that puts Americans’ safety and liberties, and the rule of
law itself at risk,” the website claims.

On the president’s 100-day mark, Justice Connection published a handy
timeline of actions taken by the new DOJ demonstrating the alleged “harm” caused by the new leadership. Apparently reassigning prosecutors to
actually handle crime rather than pursue politically motivated cases and ridding the FBI of partisan actors represents a dire threat to national security. (In reality, the timeline detailed an impressive list of
achievements by the DOJ and FBI in the first few months of the Trump administration.)

Aside from hysteria-fueled media hits, Justice Connection also offers a
myriad of services to help ex-DOJ employees try to recover from losing
their jobs and somehow survive the remaining Trump years. The group has
curated a list of mental health providers who have agreed to offer their services for lower fees; some providers will let ex-DOJ employees cut to
the front of the line to receive immediate help sessions.

In addition to its select group of counselors, Justice Connection
recommends other nonprofits who can assist ex-DOJers deal with their
feelings. One suggestion is the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing located
in Washington, D.C.. The facility appears to primarily focus on people, particularly children, who have suffered a traumatic loss such as the
murder of a parent—not a coddled government worker bitching about the new
boss.

Links to the suicide prevention hotline and crisis hotline also appear on
the group’s website.
