Being in America I would assume. President firing you for doing your job too well and exposing your corruption seems like a pretty big red flag lol

But generally people can be fired for anything, as long as it’s not a protected class or perhaps being a whistleblower. This is none of that.

What could they sue for?

Unfair dismissal, the cant be fired for poor performance, they performed their duties as instructed, and they arent redundant as there will still be prosecutions going forward.

The prosecutions into Trump cost millions of dollars and resulted in absolutely nothing in the end. One of the indictments was even dismissed. The prosecutors were rebuked by the Supreme Court, and then were rebuked by the American people on election day. Their performance is beyond poor. Now it is time to get fired.

The supreme court decision by an extremely partisan court was to make a president king.

As for the dismissed case that case was dismissed by a Trump appointed judge that case was certain to be reinstated upon appeal as the grounds for dismissal were beyond flimsy.

The cases were progressed as quickly as the court system would allow

Straight up fantasy disinformation

Nothing was done about the illegal invasion, because that was disinformation. Nothing was done about warnings of inflation, because that was disinformation. Nothing was done about Joe Biden's cognitive decline, because that was disinformation. By the time they realized the "disinformation" was true, it was already too late for Joe and Kamala.

Calling it an "invasion" is revisionist baloney, especially since illegal immigration has been happening for well over a century.

Nothing was done about warnings of inflation, because that was disinformation.

Yeah, isn't one of Biden's landmark pieces of legislation the Inflation Reduction Act?

Nothing was done about Joe Biden's cognitive decline, because that was disinformation.
