Investigation of what? Why are FBI agents who did their jobs under investigation?

Well, of course, the DOJ - by long standing policy - does not discuss ongoing investigations.

We only know what we know, because that FBI guy ran to the press.

 

[berg80]

Seems as though Trump, and Musk are going to pick every scab, scratch every itch, and in the process uncover the way you progressive liberals wield power in or out of office.

Sounds like paranoia.

You have never heard a person from the FBI or the DOJ say they would not discuss on going investigations?

So why did you accuse me of trolling for saying so? You’re weird, Dude.

What trump is doing

Trump? This came from the DOJ.

is using assignment info as a possible vehicle to purge agents who may have investigated him or members of his mob. Got it?

How do you know that? The investigation is either brand new or we are just hearing about it. All we know from the leak is that the DOJ requested names.

Those agents will be investigated in an unbiased way, and if indicted, will have fair trials. If they are innocent, they have nothing to fear.

Why do you hate unbiased justice?

In Elon Musk’s first two weeks in government, his lieutenants gained access to closely held financial and data systems, casting aside career officials who warned that they were defying protocols. They moved swiftly to shutter specific programs — and even an entire agency that had come into Mr. Musk’s cross hairs. They bombarded federal employees with messages suggesting they were lazy and encouraging them to leave their jobs.

Empowered by President Trump, Mr. Musk is waging a largely unchecked war against the federal bureaucracy — one that has already had far-reaching consequences.

Mr. Musk’s aggressive incursions into at least half a dozen government agencies have challenged congressional authority and potentially breached civil service protections.

Top officials at the Treasury Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development who objected to the actions of his representatives were swiftly pushed aside. And Mr. Musk’s efforts to shut down U.S.A.I.D., a key source of foreign assistance, have reverberated around the globe.

Emil Bove? Lackey?”

He is a prosecutor with a distinguished record. He went after a host of far worse gangsters than any of these FBI agents.

Can the FBI really be “thrown into chaos“ by a survey? There must be more intellectual and moral weaklings in the upper ranks of the FBI that I thought.

"Why do you hate unbiased justice?"

I know, right? It’s funny because the answer is so obvious.

This isn't protected by that protocol.

How do you know?

Director WRay and Attorney General Garland didn’t say anything about some investigations not being protected by the protocol.

Post a copy of this protocol you referred to.

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.

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

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/28/trump-fire-eeoc-nlrb-board-members/

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.

Yes, we need to round up and charge anyone and everyone who resists Trump.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Yes, we need to round up and charge anyone and everyone who resists Trump.

Yes, what does that even mean “dig in?”

Can you imagine any job in the private sector where someone would say that they were going to “resist” their boss and “dig in“ to avoid following his policies?

These FBI prima Donna, have got to be the most arrogant people I’ve ever heard of. They must be believing their own press.

WASHINGTON — Two groups of unnamed FBI agents who participated in Jan. 6 investigations have sued the Justice Department, claiming they were instructed to fill out a survey about their roles, if any, in those cases or in the investigation into Donald Trump's possession of documents marked classified at his Florida home between his terms as president.

In one suit, nine FBI agents argue that the specific purpose of the survey "is to identify agents and other FBI personnel to be terminated as a form of politically motivated retribution," according to their complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.

“Plaintiffs assert that the purpose for this list is to identify agents to be terminated or to suffer other adverse employment action," the complaint reads. "Plaintiffs reasonably fear that all or parts of this list might be published by allies of President Trump, thus placing themselves and their families in immediate danger of retribution by the now pardoned and at-large Jan. 6 convicted felons."

The agents have been informed they are “likely to be terminated in the very near future” for their work on the Jan. 6 and documents cases, the complaint continues.

The agents claim a survey about their roles in any Capitol riot investigations is meant to identify targets to be fired "as a form of politically motivated retribution."
