A former federal prosecutor has slammed President Donald Trump for firing millions of federal workers earlier this week, claiming that he is “afraid of the federal bureaucracy,” and that the civil servants he wants to replace are “powerful.” Joyce Vance, who is one of the first female U.S. attorneys nominated by former President Barack Obama, took to her Substack called Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance to comment on the plight of “knowledgeable” civil servants who lost their jobs in a post dated Thursday. “Although they often get a bad rap, in my experience—25 years of it—they are dedicated and mission driven,” Vance wrote. “Tell doctors at CDC, federal prosecutors at DOJ, or scientists at the Department of Agriculture that they can’t do their job, and they will find a way to get it done.” Referring to the Trump administration’s buyout offers that were extended to federal workers, Vance wrote: “Tell the entire bureaucracy you want them to leave? You’ve summoned the sleeping giant.”
