Top F.B.I. Agent in New York Vows to ‘Dig In’ After Removals at Agency​

The top agent at the F.B.I.’s New York field office vowed in a defiant email to his staff to “dig in” after the Trump administration targeted officials involved in the investigations into the Jan. 6 attack — and praised the bureau’s interim leaders for defending its independence.

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,” wrote James E. Dennehy, a veteran and highly respected agent who has run the largest and arguably the most important field office in the bureau since September.

Mr. Dennehy, through a representative in New York, declined to comment.

The email, viewed by The New York Times, came after the Justice Department ordered the F.B.I. on Friday to collect the names of bureau personnel who helped investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, raising the possibility that Mr. Trump’s political appointees plan to purge career bureau officials, including rank-and-file field agents. That number could reach 6,000 — or about a sixth of the bureau’s 38,000 employees, according to the F.B.I.

We already know about the illegal firing of 17 IG's, and the removal of top DoJ officials in violation of civil service protections. In retaliation for participating in investigations examining various aspects of trump's illegal behavior. We know about the new admin trying to usurp the authority Congress has over spending by freezing funding (then partially rescinding it after a judge blocked it) and trying to shut down the UDAID office.

Then there was the offer of early retirement to all government employees. Like other announcements this was changed, in this case to exclude air traffic controllers after two airline crashes and three other incidents involving flight safety. Oh, and a new FAA director was named following the first crash after Musk forced the last guy out.

Then there's the story about the new, insidious way PBS and NPR are being targeted.

Trump moves to fire members of EEOC and NLRB, breaking with precedent​

Look, I know trump devotees have been told this was all necessary. Vaguely falling under the broad heading "drain the swamp." You've been told the purge at the DoJ/FBI had to be done because holding trump responsible for crimes is inherently corrupt. An Orwellian twist making the perpetrator the victim.

You say, "we told you it was coming" as though that justifies any of it.

So, is the point to highlight trump's vengeful petulance, incompetence, or his violations of law and precedent? Not really. It's a reminder that while you told us what was coming, we also had a warning. What we said was coming has arrived in vivid, unmistakable form.

Ignoring laws, stifling dissent, purging enemies, replacing them with cronies, consolidating power, all under the guise of making the country stronger when it fact it's doing the opposite. It is exactly, exactly the incremental steps the world's autocrats have taken on their way to absolute control of their countries. It's important that you see it for what it is.

They're in a position where they'll have to lie on the Fuhrer Loyalty™ tests just to keep their jobs.

They're not supposed to investigate the wrong people now.

What a goddamn shame.

Taking one of your lies apart at a time:

USAID takeover is unconstitutional, lawmakers say​

"The Trump administration’s move to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development is illegal and unconstitutional, a group of House and Senate Democrats told a large crowd of people protesting outside of the organization’s headquarters on Monday in Washington, D.C."

The TRUTH is that JFK created USAID with an EO, so Trump can modify it with an EO. Democrat "lawmakers" are wrong and lying as usual. But their low-IQ party believes their lies, like berg. Congress appropriates funding, but the Executive spends it on foreign policy priorities, which is why Trump put USAID under Marco Rubio.

"USAID was subsequently established by the executive order of President John F. Kennedy, who sought to unite several existing foreign assistance organizations and programs under one agency."

I don't think you know what integrity means. Garland was even handed to a fault. Far too much of an institutionalist to meet the moment.

You see what's going on here, right? The nonpartisan leadership of the agency is being removed so a sycophant like "little Marco" can be put in charge. Meaning trump and Musk are in charge. You get that, right?

 

[Seymour Flops]

A new broom sweeps clean.

The language in your quotes is overblown. How are any FBI agents “targeted?” The DOJ asked for some names is all so far. I know you’re just following Project Bedwet 24-33, but you’re overdoing it.

Why do we have news organizations with office space at the Pentagon? Get rid of them all, but especially those four. Who picked them to be given space?

What “top DOJ officials have been removed? Have their cases really already been adjudicated for that writer to “know” that it violated Civil Servicevrules?
