First High-Profile Resignation In Washington, the first high-profile resignation came after a tough midterm election for Republicans: Harmit Dillon left as head of the Justice Department's civil rights division. In Trump's team, the lawyer from California is considered the hardest hit ram in the war against the leftist agenda. Within a year and a half, Dillon purged three-quarters of the department's legal staff and turned the agency around: cracking down on universities for anti-Semitism programs, investigating anti-Semitism on elite campuses and protecting the Second Amendment rights of gun owners for the first time in history. But behind the facade of the culture war, serious problems accumulated: hastily recruited young conservatives lost lawsuits repeatedly, and Dillon herself had a bitter feud with Attorney General Todd Blanche. The CEO of the White House, Susie Wills, even had to personally convince her to sit in her chair until election day so as not to cause a scandal before the election. Dillon worked as a political icebreaker, breaking through the system's resistance, but her methods proved too toxic to maintain positions. As Democrats prepare an avalanche of congressional investigations, Trump and Blanche are likely to rely not on flashy activists with loud statements, but on dull but methodical lawyers who can defend decisions in lengthy legal channels. - Let's make America understandable again support us.
