In any case, it’s a significant number:

Interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr., on Friday dismissed about 30 federal prosecutors who have worked on Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot cases over the past four years, undertaking a housecleaning of the top prosecutor’s office in Washington, while preparing to extend the office’s scrutiny to top Democratic leaders and former Justice Department officials, people close to Martin said.

The prosecutors were on probationary status after being converted to full-time from shorter-term positions after Election Day under circumstances the Trump administration is investigating, according to documents from Martin and acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove that were emailed around 5 p.m. and viewed by The Washington Post.

The AP reports that the firings were made at the behest of acting Deputy AG Emil Bove.

Of course, those used to the old way of doing things quickly got their knickers in a twist:

…career prosecutors who have served under presidents of both parties say Martin is politicizing the office and potentially breaking with 50 years of Justice Department policy and practice intended to shield criminal prosecutions from political considerations. They warn that an exodus of veteran prosecutors will threaten public safety and national security, leaving a more pliant institution that could enable Trump’s avowed desire to punish his foes in a second term.

It’s almost laughable to hear these supposed “career prosecutors” whining about politicizing the Justice Department after the banana republic-style antics we’ve been seeing for the last four years under the Biden-Harris-Merrick Garland regime when they seemed more focused on “getting” Trump, prosecuting Catholics and parents and destroying the lives of anyone who was anywhere near the Capitol on January 6 than they were about nabbing terrorists and keeping our country safe.

The corruption of the justice system is exactly what these terminations are aimed at—digging out the rot that has infected the various bureaucracies. And it’s not the first shot in that endeavor fired by the nascent administration:
