DOJ Loyalty Test: How It Works
| Mechanism | Criteria | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Case History Review | Participation in Trump-related probes | Immediate termination |
| Social Media Audit | Anti-Trump posts or likes | Reassignment or suspension |
| Political Donation Check | Contributions to Democrats | Flagged for monitoring |
| Interviews | “Loyalty to Constitution” questions | Subjective pass/fail |
Over 55% of remaining staff report self-censorship, per internal survey.
FBI Leadership Changes: Who’s In, Who’s Out
- Out: Deputy Director Paul Abbate, Counterterrorism Chief Jill Sanborn.
- In: Kash Patel (FBI Director), Stephen Miller advisor on “de-weaponization.”
- Impact: 40% drop in new case openings; focus shifts to immigration, election fraud.
Conclusion
The Trump DOJ purge 2025 is the largest internal overhaul in Justice Department history. While supporters hail the deep state crackdown, critics warn of eroded independence and national security risks.
