Staff Reports
The Justice Department has taken a bold step under the leadership of Acting Attorney General James McHenry by canning over a dozen officials tied to Jack Smith’s ill-fated prosecution of former President Donald Trump. For those savvy enough to follow the saga, it’s no surprise that McHenry deemed these officials untrustworthy when it comes to executing the president’s agenda—the very agenda aimed at ending the blatant weaponization of federal power.
Jack Smith, the prosecutor who was given the green light by former Attorney General Merrick Garland, had the glorious task of leading investigations into Trump’s supposed mishandling of classified documents and potential obstruction of justice. Credit must go to Smith for putting on quite the show, but the entertaining spectacle culminated in a series of dismissals that anyone with half a brain could see coming. Trump’s steadfast defense has resulted in his not-guilty pleas to all charges, and the respective dismissals of those cases—thanks, in part, to Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling on Smith’s dubious appointment—proves that even in the court of law, truth sometimes manages to fight back.
🚨BREAKING🚨

What really steals the show is that these terminations are part of Trump’s greater mission to drain the swamp. While critics may decry it as revenge, McHenry’s actions seem to signal that the White House is serious about ridding itself of leftovers who could feed the administrative state’s insatiable appetite for partisan mischief. No longer will swamp creatures roam the halls of the DOJ plotting against Americans simply because they dare to lean right. If these officials had their way, the only agenda for the federal government would be to keep the conservatives on their toes and right in the crosshairs of politically motivated scrutiny.
While the exact names of those shown the door remain a mystery, reports suggest that this group overwhelmingly includes career prosecutors who may have forgotten what impartiality looks like when their pursuit of Trump’s scalp seemed to overshadow the law itself. The immediate effectiveness of these firings demonstrates a renewed focus on ensuring that government officials who are tasked with enforcing the law are, in fact, law-abiding themselves.
So, as the dust settles from this political shake-up, one can only imagine the gnashing of teeth happening over at the leftist media outlets. It seems they’ll have to cook up new conspiracy theories about this “purge” of Jack Smith’s minions. In reality, what’s happening is simply a return to sanity in a government that had wandered far from its intended purpose. The swamp is getting drained one bureaucrat at a time, and conservatives across America are cheering.
