Employees at the Biden-Harris Department of Justice and their fellow travelers at the FBI are apparently "shell-shocked" and updating their resumes following President-elect Donald Trump's landslide electoral victory.
Federal bureaucrats' apparent fears of a thorough housecleaning are justified, as Trump has made no secret of his plan to "shatter the Deep State and restore government that is controlled by the People."
Background
In March 2023, Trump announced that on day one, he would reissue his 2020 executive order establishing the Schedule F employment category for federal employees, making it easier to remove insubordinate and poorly performing bureaucrats from an estimated pool of 50,000 eligible candidates.
"I will wield that power aggressively," Trump vowed.
President Joe Biden revoked Trump's Schedule F in January 2021 and announced a rule earlier this year aimed at further shielding federal bureaucrats from accountability and from being ousted under a framework resembling Schedule F.
Reversing this rule might take months and involve legal challenges. Nevertheless, Trump appears committed to ensuring that America's democratically elected president will once again "have appropriate management oversight regarding this select cadre of professionals."
Trump also vowed in his 10-point plan to "clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus."
"The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible," said Trump.
Reaping the Whirlwind
Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said that bureaucrats at the DOJ and the FBI are right to panic, not only because a "reshuffling of the deck is normal" but because Trump is poised to make good on his pledge to personify and deliver " retribution" for those Americans wronged by what has become an increasingly politicized justice system.
"We know that this panic is happening at the assistant U.S. attorney level and at the U.S. attorney level. These guys are already planning their exits," said Baker. "They know that their days are numbered. They are looking for their golden parachutes into the big, high-power law firms. They're getting the hell out of dodge."
FBI employees are expecting a similar shake-up and pre-emptive exodus.
Commentary:
I don't see any problem with the reorganization of these agencies.
Is it retribution to fire those that continue to bring down a business, or gov't?
It is ridiculous that Joe Biden could issue an EO, but the the next one has to to many months to revoke it. Of course, this only seems to work that way when it is Trump revoking a Neo-Marxist Democrat EO. A Rat like Biden can revoke 94 of Trump EOs on day one.
What you're actually hearing is a scurrying of the rats leacing a sinking ship. Let's see how deep the swamp draining goes. If President Trump actually puts Elon Musk in a position of evaluating "government efficiency," the sound will be deafening. I can't wait.
