Apparently, there’s a serious issue with paralegals at the Department of Justice (DOJ), as this week marked the second time one was fired under Attorney General Pam Bondi’s watch.
According to Fox News, Bondi dropped the firing hammer on a second DOJ paralegal this week after it was reported that the paralegal who was terminated gave the “bird” to a National Guard member stationed in Washington D.C. on her way to work.
The paralegal was Elizabeth Baxter. She reportedly worked in at the DOJ’s environmental department. It was after she arrived to work at 8:20 a.m. that she bragged about something profane she had shouted at a member of the National Guard.
As soon as AG Bondi received word of Baxter’s immature and foolish move, she announced that she had terminated the paralegal promptly.
What happened?
Baxter had the audacity to brag about what she had done on her way to work that morning, as Fox News noted:
Later that day, Baxter was seen on DOJ security footage sticking up her middle finger at the National Guard and exclaiming, “F–k you!” the outlet reported. She was also allegedly seen demonstrating to a department security guard how she held up her middle finger.
There is a sizeable contingent of National Guard troops currently helping D.C. Metro Police patrol the streets and keep crime down as much as possible, which has triggered many on the left who somehow claim the crime levels are find and the troops aren’t needed.
Bondi not only announced Baxter’s firing after news of the incident got to her, but also made sure to use the situation as a teaching moment — and a warning — to others who believe disrespecting our troops is an acceptable move.
“Today, I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC,” Bondi said.
“This DOJ remains committed to defending President Trump’s agenda and fighting to make America safe again,” Bondi continued. “If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement — you will NO LONGER work at DOJ.”
In the termination letter, Bondi wrote, “You are removed from your position of Paralegal Specialist, GS-0950-11, Environmental Defense Section, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and from the federal service, effective immediately.”
Not the first one
Baxter’s firing followed the termination of Sean Charles Dunn, another paralegal who made a stupid decision and lost an amazing career as a result.
Dunn reportedly hurled a sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent earlier this month.
Fox News noted:
Dunn, who worked in the criminal division’s international affairs section in the 4CON building, was initially charged with a felony, but a grand jury declined to hand down an indictment. He was subsequently charged with a misdemeanor, which could result in up to one year in jail.
Clearly, Bondi isn’t messing around.
