The new initiative gives the Department of Justice authority to appoint VA lawyers as special assistant U.S. attorneys, which allows the lawyers to initiate and participate in state court guardianship or conservatorship proceedings, according to a press release issued Wednesday.

With what staff? all those extra VA staff members and DOJ attorneys that are just lining up for more work?

I could absolutely see this administration using this as a tool to (ineffectively?) punish outspoken non-homeless veterans with “Trump derangement syndrome”. The administration did just try (and fail) to take Mark Kelly’s military retirement pay because of his speech.
