DOJ and FBI officials attempting to lawyer up....

[Delldude]

Looks like panic in needle park. Why are they running for cover if they're innocent?

Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.

Following Trump’s decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility that they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said.

“Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. “But this is a different world.”

DOJ, FBI, etc... are all enemies of the Republican Party. They must be disposed of and a new group of conservative loyalists hired in those positions.

I hope the lawyers that the curs contact double their rates.

As well they should.

Why should these people get to use legal counsel at the taxpayer's expense for their crimes?
They need fired by Trump, then charged and made to spend millions out of their own pockets like they did to Trump.

More like the thriller "Gorky Park" and solving of a triple murder with no clues.

They'll probably resign and pay for their own.

The DOJ will be cleansed of the filth in that agency.

They haven't even been arrested yet. But if they are, they will have every right to get an attorney then at their own expense.

Trump will provide one for them, if they are unable to afford an attorney
