but I think early on in this administration, a pile of the existing ones were either put on administrative leave, fired, resigned, or retired (or are about to retire).

During "normal" times, they were the "law firm" for federal agencies like the one I worked for for over 30 years, and filed the injunctions, temporary restraining orders, searches/seizures, and in some cases, criminal prosecutions of shady business owners. Most agencies are NOT "enforcement" ones but are "regulatory" ones and needed DOJ lawyers to operate in court.

It's unfortunate that you have scum like Bondi misusing these folks.
