Elie Honig: Trump Firing DOJ’s Nonpolitical Appointees Is ‘Completely Abnormal’
‘When you come in and start firing those nonpolitical appointees, as Donald Trump has been doing, you send a message that simply cannot be missed’
RUSH EXCERPT:
HONIG: "Well, I think it‘s absolutely the result of these decisions, Jim. And what we are seeing here is completely abnormal. And here‘s why within the Justice Department, there are a very few handful of positions that are political appointees. The attorney general, the deputy attorney general, and a handful of others. It is completely normal and appropriate for a new presidential administration to fire and replace those people. This is why Merrick Garland is no longer the attorney general."
