SCOOP:
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) September 24, 2025
DOJ sources tell me that Assistant US Attorney Will Rosenzweig was FIRED yesterday after he was exposed for running an anti-Trump blog.
He was working in the Healthcare fraud unit at the DOJ in Miami, Florida. https://t.co/1VdnFe1c0E
Uh oh. A few more of the supposed details here at the FB page embedded in the Loomer tweet.
I can't find the blog, but if anyone has a link, please post it in the comments. And if Will wants to comment on what happened, I will certainly post it above the fold.
More details as I find them out.
UPDATE -- Here is the feed from the person who broke the story and it has some of the blog posts there.

Seems important to note that he didn’t blog any of this while serving as an AUSA, per the links you posted
Yeah you can’t have a guy with the ability to form rational and accurate judgments in advance be an AUSA these days.
Yeah, it's very confusing what is actually wrong here. Federal employees are allowed to discuss politics and post their opinions, even on issues of partisan politics, outside of their work.
This is confusing? Would you keep your job if you ran a blog criticizing your boss? Not saying he should have lost his job, but this is not confusing. And all those who remain at the US Attorney’s Office are complicit anyway.
something something something... freedom of speech... something something something
You seem confused though. The president is not the "boss" of any AUSA.
U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. USA Today reported in 2020, this was a "…standard set by Janet Reno in 1993. At the start of her tenure as attorney general for then-President Bill Clinton, Reno went on to fire 93 attorneys out of 94 U.S. federal districts. Since that time there has been an understanding that the president has the right to hire his own people to get his policies enacted." Should apply to AUSAs too

I mean, if there's one thing that SCOTUS has made clear (including by effectively overruling Humphrey's Executor this week), it is that the president of the United States effectively has plenary authority over the executive branch. So not sure why you think an AUSA would not ultimately answer to the president.
Poor Dan Fridman. He is operating under the belief we live in a country guided by the rule of law. We used to. But we no longer do so. Nor do many of the bill of rights now apply. If I may be so humble as to offer your readers some advice. The concept of freedom of speech has been replaced by the rule that speech that opposes the president in any manner will not be tolerated. And as the failing NY Times reported today, the DOJ acting on the orders of the dear leader has opened a multi pronged investigation into George Soros for his promotion of his ideas and ideals. So please do not labour under the misguided belief that the DOJ is independent of the president. It is not. In fact we agree it should be renamed “The Trump Firm”. Alex Hannah advertises “don’t pay that ticket!” The Trump Firm advertises “ Don’t criticize that President! “.
Rumpole is being a defeatist. Keep up the fight.
Anyone still working at the US Attorney's Office at this point is complicit. Trump is literally ordering political prosecutions by tweet and firing US Attorneys and Assistants who do not prosecute who he wants when he wants. If you continue working for such a Justice Department, you are not on the side of democracy, you are on the side of fascism, it is as simple as that. The only thing that might help is mass resignations.
They.dont.care.if they get sued! They are going to bring in bus loads of sycophants like Bondi et al. to do the dirty work!
I'm tired of democratic name-calling. You want to see fascism? Look in the mirror.
Mass resignations will not work as the replacements would likely lack the experience and judgment to pursue justice. It would be like the strike-shortened baseball season where less qualified replacements came in. Same game, worse product. Seasoned prosecutors should hold on to minimize institutional damage.
Responding to 10.31: Janet fired all or most of the 94 US Attorneys who are appointed by the president, not all of the attorneys who worked in each office. In fact, most US Attorneys hand in a resignation when a president of the other party is elected. As the USA in Miami did, leaving a few days before the 2025 inauguration.
That strategies working out so well so far.
They will lay off and rehire clueless robots and FS loyalists and spend the homeland security money... for 2 lines on a resume. Anyone want to join reserves?
Yes she did, fired 93 of 94 the US Attorneys. And as I commented previously on this blog, there should not be any lawyers running the DOJ, if you truly want a non-political executive branch justice department, see my comment @ 1:54 PM Anonymous said...

Heard they will be bussing in robots with rubber stamps.
Some people answer a calling. Others answer a recruiter to pad their CV.
