More Beast Food, alternatively titled "Trump has more housecleaning to do"

The Eastern District of Virginia is a district within the federal court system with courthouses in Alexandria, Newport News, Norfolk, and Richmond.  DJ Trump nominated Erik Siebert to be the US attorney for the Eastern District in May of 2025.  Shortly thereafter, Siebert launched an investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James--you may remember her from the fraud case against Trump that resulted in a $450 million verdict--but he was unable to find any wrongdoing.  Naturally, Trump pressured Siebert to press charges against her anyway.  Trump opined that "It looks to me like she is very guilty of something, but I really don't know."  That's the leader of the free world, by the way.

Shortly thereafter, Trump decided to fire him but Siebert withdrew his nomination before he could be fired.  When explaining why he wanted to fire Siebert, Trump said "When I saw that he got approved by those two men, I said, pull it, because he can't be any good.  When I learned that they voted for him, I said, I don't really want him."  So it had nothing to do with Letitia James.

"Those two men" are Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner.  I know this because Trump later bleated on Truth Social "Today I withdrew the Nomination of Erik Siebert as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, when I was informed that he received the UNUSUALLY STRONG support of the two absolutely terrible, sleazebag Democrat Senators, from the Great State of Virginia. Next time let him go in as a Democrat, not a Republican."

This makes sense to me.  But this also means Trump has a lot of housecleaning to do because Kaine and Warner voted for a bunch of other people Trump nominated.  Like Marco Rubio, Doug Burgum, Scott Bessent, John Ratcliffe, and Sean Duffy (really?).  He better get to work replacing those untrustworthy RINOS!  Unless, of course, he really wanted to fire Siebert because Siebert wouldn't press charges against James.  But Trump couldn't really be that corrupt and petty, could he?
