#1 'There are 523 people who work in the Office of the Attorney General, and 643 who report to the Attorney General statewide. Only 30 personnel changes were made. Attorney General Herring made more substantial cuts after he took over from his Republican predecessor.'

While shitcanning 30 'staffers' is a good start, some of us were anticipating major nuclear explosions; this ain't it.

#2 Fake news.

Of the 12 in the Civil Rights Division only were fired per spokes person Victoria LaCivita.

#5 There is no cite. The link goes to the Daily Mail's index. This is definitely fake news.

#6 Something we see over and over again here at the 'Burg is that the initial reports about any event are... noisy. Fog of war, bad reporting, deliberately misleading statements and general hysteria. There is a reason for the 24 hour rule.

In this case, the new DA fired a bunch of people. Initial hysteria said it was entire departments. Later reports suggested the targeting was more specific. I would expect more 'progressive' departures in the near future when the writing on the wall becomes clear.

#7 Yes, I'd imagine some will hunker down and wait to see if any of the people fired try to sue. We are talking about gummint jobz here, some people will probably do just about anything to keep one if they can.
