Trump Admin Roasted Hard for Taking to Recruiting Lawyers on Twitter: 'Have They Tried Putting an Ad on Craigslist?'

President Donald Trump’s administration is in need of prosecutors to help his “anti-crime agenda” and they’re being mocked for taking to X to fill the positions.

“If you are a lawyer, are interested in being an AUSA, and support President Trump and anti-crime agenda, DM me,” Chad Mizelle, acting general counsel for Department of Homeland Security and former Department of Justice chief of staff under Trump, wrote on X on Saturday. “We need good prosecutors. And DOJ is hiring across the country. Now is your chance to join the mission and do good for our country.”

The first problem is Mizelle called for applicants to direct message him, but the function was shut off on his X account, something he fixed after users pointed it out.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller seconded Mizelle’s call for prosecutors to reach out through X.

“Patriots needed,” he wrote.

got turned down by the law offices of Saul Goodman, and couldn't get enough DUI clients to pay the rent on your office in the basement of a nail salon in Albuquerque, this is the perfect opportunity for you. And if you're a woman with Mar-A-Lago Face and sumptuous cleavage you might even be able to work with the likes of legal stars Alina Habba and Lindsay Hooligan.
