whirlwind reaping
Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said it's natural for Justice Department and FBI officials to panic, not only because “shuffling the deck is normal,” but also because President Trump is embodying He said that this is because he is trying to fulfill his promise to make this happen.retaliation“For Americans who have been wronged by an increasingly politicized justice system.
“We know this panic is happening at the assistant U.S. attorney level and the U.S. attorney level. They're already planning their exits,” Baker said. “They know their days are numbered. They're looking for a golden parachute to a big, powerful law firm. They're trying to escape hell.”
FBI officials are also hoping for a similar reorganization and preemptive evacuation.
Recently, multiple anonymous station officials
said The Washington Times reported that top FBI officials were “stunned” and “shocked” by Kamala Harris' humiliating election loss.
Convinced that the president-elect would “come in and blow the place to pieces,” insiders said they wanted to ensure that no one in a supervisory special agent pay grade (GS-14) or above, especially the director, was in office. He suggested that there was no risk of losing. Christopher Ray.
“This is a countdown for Ray. [people here] “I don't think Trump will stay until he's fired because of what he did to Comey,” one FBI official said. “Trump will say, 'Yes, fire him.'” . Don't let him fly home. ”

“Everybody's going to have a big problem when they're running for the door.”
FBI officials also appear to be wary of Musk's efficiency committee.
A source told the Times: [Musk] We're trying to be more efficient at our headquarters, so we're going to have five people there. ”
“Try to find someone who actually works,” the source continued. “That might be the biggest problem — the lack of efficiency. So that's actually the bigger threat. If you're going to make government efficient, you start with the FBI, because… If you're always doing politics, you're probably bloated.”
Another source told the Times that some FBI officials, tired of the Jan. 6 witch hunt, were amused by the prospect of President Trump granting clemency and nullifying their efforts. He suggested that there was.
