US Atty. for AZ canned by Trump

[Suck My Glock]

The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona announced that U.S. Attorney Gary M. Restanio was terminated on Monday.

The announcement said Restanio “completed his service to the department” and that the White House informed him of his termination.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not mention a specific reason for Restanio’s termination.

Restanio was appointed as a U.S. Attorney in Nov. 2021 by President Joe Biden after spending 18 years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Arizona and two years in the Peace Corps.

MEGA MAGA! :clap: :clap:

Trump needs to clean out the Biden deadwood.

From the article:

Since 2021, the United States Attorney’s Office District of Arizona has made strong efforts to improve border security, violent crime protections and civil rights in Arizona.

What a bullsh*t statement!

The reason they are to be counted is because of a SCOTUS decision, much like the anchor baby situations. Dept. of Commerce V New York, get SCOTUS to over turn and they're done.


Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he has instructed the Justice Department to terminate all remaining Biden-era U.S. attorneys, asserting that the department had been "politicized like never before."

"We must 'clean house' IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System - THAT BEGINS TODAY," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last week, the White House sent termination notices to several U.S. attorneys around the country who had been appointed by Democratic former President Joe Biden.

On Monday, several U.S. attorneys appointed by Biden announced they were stepping down. Others left the government last week.

While it is customary for U.S. Attorneys to step down after a change in the presidential administration, usually the incoming administration asks for their resignations and does not issue tersely worded termination letters, current and former Justice Department lawyers say.

The termination of the U.S. attorneys, who serve as the top federal law enforcement officers in their districts, is the latest in shake-ups at the Justice Department since Trump took office last month.

Career Justice Department officials normally remain in office from one administration to the next. Yet dozens in cities including Washington and New York have been fired or quit since Trump took office. :handgestures-thumbup: :greetings-clappingyellow:
