Trump told all FAA Air Traffic Controllers to quit and look for work elsewhere. Now he's telling the FBI and Department of Justice Prosecutors their work investigating January 6th criminals and insurrectionists is a fireable offense.
When you want to describe a professional federal agency to Normies you probably invoke an FBI agent or a Federal prosecutor, as an example. They go through background checks and have high education and proficiency in order to get hired in the first place as well as advance through the ranks.
The reason the Soviets were able to seamlessly takeover the Russian State was because they stepped into roles and organizations already established. Decades before the 1917 Revolution, the Tsarist Secret Police (the Okhrana) had stepped into their role in the 19th century based on the "Third Section" which was created in the wake of the Decembrist Revolt. Thus, a hundred years later it was easy for the early Soviet NkVD (the forerunner of the KGB and thus the FSB) to step into the role and actions done by the Tsar's Secret Police.
It is this model the MAGA and Trump Party loyalists are expecting to move into. FBI agents insufficiently loyal and "weaponized" Department of Justice Prosecutors have been sacked.
Trump administration officials have forced out all six of the FBI’s most senior executives and multiple heads of FBI field offices across the country, current and former FBI officials told NBC News.
They included the high-profile leader of the Washington, D.C., field office, which was involved in the prosecutions of President Donald Trump, and federal prosecutors who investigated Jan. 6 rioters. A congressional aide said the number of prosecutors impacted is roughly two dozen.
In a separate memo to the FBI workforce sent out Friday night, the bureau’s acting director, Brian J. Driscoll, Jr., informed employees that acting Deputy Attorney General, Emil Bove, had asked for a list of all FBI employees who worked on January 6 cases for "a review process to determine whether any additional personnel actions are necessary."
Trump and his Aides will pick replacements based solely on Zealotry and MAGA Fervor. That'll be the background check. So, expect a large amount rightwing criminals to be handed a badge, a gun, and a clearance to investigate you. If you thought it was bad when Kyle Rittenhouse was able to shoot three people, killing two and not only be lauded by the right but exonerated. Or when Daniel Penny was found not guilty of murder by reason of black men have no rights he was bound to respect. Or when Greg Abbott pardoned convicted killer Daniel Perry (who broadcast his intention to commit first degree murder). Well, now imagine all of them doing this under the auspices of "Homelnad Security".
I think many on-line forget how little violence is actually needed to quell dissent. Or how a small act of direct violence done at the correct time can disrupt even the best run organization or strongest protest. In 2020, Trump sent a deputized Hit Squad to assassinate Michael Reinoehl. Reinoehl was suspected (not convicted) of a murder which he claimed was self-defense in a clash Trump supporters in August 2020. After he was shot down without being arrested, Trump took a victory lap and gloated at the killing.
Now, with Trump back in power his Tom Homan and Kash Patel are going to advocate for this sort of Police Action towards any resisters. Homan has already complained that Chicago people were too aware of their rights under the Constitution;
“For instance, Chicago—very well-educated,“ Homan continued. ”They‘ve been educated on how to how to defy ICE, how to hide from ICE. I‘ve seen many pamphlets from many NGOs: ’Here‘s how you escape ICE from arresting you. Here‘s what you need to do. “They call it ‘Know Your Rights.’ I call it ‘how to escape arrest,’” Homan added.
I don't think I'd ever hear an ostensible Chief Law Enforcement Officer complain about people knowing their Rights, at least not openly! Meanwhile, unidentified goons of Elon Musk are entering Government offices, simply taking over and doing who know what.
Obviously, no one wants to openly declare what's really going on as anything different than the early days of a new President and change of government. The entire edifice of American Life rests upon the slender reed of a Peaceful Transfer of Power. That reed was shattered on Jan 6th 2021 but, everyone acted as though the broken glass in the Capitol Building wasn't a symbol of the broken American fiction of Government.
So, a bunch of thugs and rightwing terrorists are going to be "deputized" into the FBI, CBP, ICE, and wherever else Trump needs his brutes to do what brutes do. There's a lot of bluster and bravado on BlueSky about fighting back and Trump doesn't have enough Domestic Terrorists at his disposal to assault Englewood or Compton or hold large sections of America. Well, tyrannical occupiers don't need a large Standing Army to pacify and control large populations. Almost everyone America is simply going to go along with Trump's liquidation of millions of people, as he is the duly elected President and since Lindsey Graham said, "That's just the way it goes when you win an Election."
