A federal prosecutor says she was fired for doing her actual job
The DOJ is facing a lawsuit from a lawyer who claims her boss didn't like who she was prosecuting.
A former federal prosecutor is taking the DOJ to court, claiming she got the boot specifically for her work on a case against anti-abortion activists. According to the lawsuit, this wasn't just a performance review gone wrong; it was a straight-up retaliatory hit.
The argument here is that the agency decided her legal targets were politically inconvenient. She alleges she was canned because she actually pursued the case she was assigned. It is a weird look when the people supposed to be upholding the law are accused of punting cases just to keep the peace in D.C.
It turns out that even inside the halls of justice, doing exactly what you were hired to do can apparently get you fired.
