1 Harmeet Dhillion on the recalcitrance and legacy resistance within the DOJ: "She said efforts to set new standards and priorities within her department led to widespread departures....
“I had about 400 attorneys plus working in my department, I have 1/3 of that now, because when I set the rules of what we’re going to do here in this department, two thirds of the people pieced out and quit,” Dhillon said."

"She also said some remaining staff have leaked internal actions to the press. “That’s the fight in my department,” she said."

"Dhillon said the challenge extends beyond her immediate office and reflects the size and structure of the federal bureaucracy. She noted that more than 100,000 people work at the Department of Justice, many within the FBI, and said only a small portion of leadership positions are politically appointed."

“It’s only the very top, top, top layer of that that is politically appointed and committed to the President’s agenda,” she said."

According to Dhillon, most personnel are long-serving staff who continue operating under established practices."

“I would say the vast majority of that agency is, you know, legacy, doing what they’re doing, much of which was not good for America,” she said."

Not at all surprising.

3 I had about 400 attorneys plus working in my department, I have 1/3 of that now,

A major reduction in department overhead, plus the added benefit of a significant reduction in Deep State fighting against the Trumo agenda. So they’re probably getting more done with a much lower head count.

4 Assuming average annual pay of $150,000, 400 people costs $60million, and one third of that is $20million. If the entire Department of Justice dropped to a third of the previous 100,000 headcount, payroll at that assumed $150,000 average would drop from $45 billion to $15 billion… and then there are all the associated overhead things, which I assume is at least as much, if not more (this is absolutely what I know nothing about, so if someone who has a clue would put better numbers here, that would be great).

How much closer are we getting to Elon Musk’s $1 trillion in savings?
