Onlookers mock DOJ for 'asking Trump fans to slide into their DMs': 'Not a good sign'

The Department of Justice became the subject of widespread ridicule on Saturday after an ex-official sought help with recruitment on his X account.

Chad Mizelle, who previously served as the chief of staff to the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi and general counsel at the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration, took to social media to encourage people to "DM" him to apply to become a pro-Trump prosecutor.

That set off alarms for numerous observers.
