Chad Mizelle Departs the DOJ

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 9/24/2025 8:34:22 AM

I have continued to point out that Chad Mizelle was Rod Rosenstein’s chief legal counsel during the first term of President Trump. As Rosenstein’s legal counsel, it was Chad Mizelle who literally wrote the “scope memos” that authorized the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate President Trump. Mizelle also wrote the expanded scope memos for Mueller and Andrew Weissmann that permitted the targeting of Michael Flynn Jr, Michael Flynn, George Papadopolous, Paul Manafort and more. Chad Mizelle would have intimate knowledge of Rosenstein’s intent to hire Robert Mueller, before, during and after the Special Counsel was appointed.

He is a bad actor who ended up as Bondi's CoS. On September 20th, President Trump sent a seemingly frustrated Truth Social message, outwardly questioning the slow to non-existent reality that Main Justice was not holding the bad actors within the Lawfare operation accountable. Three days later, it is now reported that Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle is departing Main Justice. Anyone who believes Trump isn't watching is a fool.

Sounds like this Mizelle is a co-conspirator in a serious treason plot who should be in prison.

CoS is usually an appointee position, but not always. I'm sure for the AG, he/she wants his/her own CoS - and that's the problem with appointees - the whole confirmation process. Well, if it's a Republican Administration.

The surprise is not that he is out but instead, WHY did it take so long, especially with people in significant positions? Trump's people should know who the bad actors are and at a minimum, shunt them into closet positions with no authority and no access to important information. They have shown they cannot be trusted. Then, get rid of them as soon as you can. This has been one of the disappointments so far. The government is huge and complex so I get that everything can't be done at once but DOGE proved that a LOT can get done by a focused group. They should have a "cleanup" group to identify people in the administration and agencies to be dealt with.

I have no idea of the whys and wherefores, but something is definitely not right about it. It’s inconceivable that more could not have been done by now to hold accountable those people mentioned by PT. There are some very interesting comments beneath the article.

The Constitution makes the President the head of the Executive branch, which makes federal employees the staff of each successive President. We therefore expect federal employees to follow all lawful directives of President Trump and his appointees to the best of their ability. That expectation is incompatible federal employees for providing similarly faithful service to previous Presidents.

It’s pretty rare for major pop culture figures to take a stand against an angry left-wing mob. But Major League Baseball star Matt Shaw appears to have done just that. On Tuesday, the Chicago Cubs infielder stood by his decision to miss his team’s Sunday matchup against the Cincinnati Reds to attend the memorial of his friend, slain conservative thought leader Charlie Kirk. The Turning Point USA founder was assassinated, allegedly by a pro-trans radical, while speaking at a Utah-based university on Sept. 10. In his remarks to reporters, Shaw disclosed that he and Kirk became friends at the apartment complex where he was living in Arizona

Following President Trump’s announcement that his administration would be treating Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization,” The Post Millennial has learned that officials within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) are working to establish Antifa’s international networks as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). According to a source not authorized to speak publicly, the DNI is examining Antifa’s transnational ties. If formally recommended by the DNI, the foreign terror group designation would ultimately still have to be approved by the State Department.

Russia is a bear and “there’s nothing paper about it”, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said on Wednesday morning, insisting its war against Ukraine is “not aimless” and that economic factors and a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky must have influenced U.S. President Donald Trump’s stance. Russia declined to respond to President Trump’s latest remarks on the progress of the Ukraine War, where he encouraged Kyiv to keep fighting to retake its own territory and — he implied — possibly even capture some Russian land on Tuesday, stating the remarks came too late into the night Moscow time to be dealt with immediately.

Nexstar’s announcement comes one day after Sinclair, another owner of local affiliates, made the same move, bringing the total number of affiliates that will not broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live! to 66.

Despite having to resort to ever more ludicrous examples and tenuous connections, the left can’t get over its addiction to comparing the Trump administration to the Nazis. New York Times columnist Masha Gessen drew one of the most outrageous and disgusting comparisons to date in her Sunday article, “I Look at This Country and I See a Stranger.” Gessen not only suggested that Charlie Kirk’s assassination was justified but also displayed sympathy for the suspect in custody for the horrendous crime.

In a bizarre "stand" against President Trump, liberal pregnant women have taken to social media, posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol. This comes after a major announcement on Monday, where the Trump administration said that they will no longer recommend pregnant women take Tylenol, as they believe it may increase the chances of a child being born with autism. Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity.

California Governor Gavin Newsom lashed out at General Motors CEO Mary Barra, claiming she 'sold out' the state by backing away from a ban on gas cars. GM, America's largest car company, says it is simply responding to what drivers actually want — exposing a widening gap between what customers want and Newsom's aggressive push for electric vehicles. The automaker has doubled down on gas models and, according to the governor, lobbied state officials to roll back California’s landmark clean car law.

September’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,362 adults: “President Trump has moved to take control of the Washington, D.C., police.

So what happens when local and state officers try to enforce it? A war? California also forbids federal agents from enforcing immigration law in state courthouses.
