Speculation On Department Of Justice Evacuation
One person on X said, "Evacuate, then when people come back they'll find officers by their desks saying they've been fired. That's my conspiracy theory, and I'm sticking to it."
Another person commented, "Someone probably left a trail they need to clean up. Sounds super fishy."
"One thing I can guarantee .. MAGA is not responsible for the disruption. I wonder who could be?" wrote another.
Yet another wrote, "A few sheets of paper didn't get shredded before y'all got there.... Gotta hide the evidence."
"The left is pulling their anti American tricks again trying to keep you guys from doing the people's work," another wrote.
"Bomb threat probably. Democrats are violent people, " yet another wrote.
The evacuation comes just a day after the Department of Justice fired over a dozen staff members who worked on charges against Trump.
"Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump," said a statement from a Justice Department official.
