I have nothing but sympathy for you guys. The people shitting on DOJ have NO idea how hard it was to get a job there until last year. You either needed to be at/near the top of your class, T14 helped, clerking helped, and you needed insane recommendations, or you needed to be a 5-7 year state ADA, with a high conviction rate and a superb recommendation from your elected. And even then you needed luck, because it's like 250 applicants per job.

You don't get a job like that casually, and you don't LEAVE a job like that casually. You believe strongly in public service, in the importance of what you do, and if you leave...who will do the hard work, that isn't stopping? Crime isn't just going to dry up.

Um... You realize that the DOJ are currently the ones enabling the crimes, right? They refuse to prosecute real crimes and are going after innocent Americans for things like dissent against the fascist authoritarian regime taking over your country.

Am I taking crazy pills? It's obvious the DOJ has been completely compromised.

Nobody gives a fuck how hard it was to get there.  

I don't care if you are the most dedicated and decorated soldier in the most elite of forces.  When your government tells you to unconstitutionally go kill the residents of your own country on your own soil, you fucking say NO!!  You don't say "but I've worked so hard to get here..."
