thanks...making it a tad more readable...

Others don't appreciate being told to go to the office 5 days a week while some big shots don't appreciate being moved from politically-charged positions to a new office to combat sanctuary cities.

Every day is like Christmas morning in the Golden Age.

Politico: "Career lawyers and staff at the Department of Justice say the rush of changes in the first week of the Trump administration make them feel like they’re under siege.
'It feels like a non-violent war. It’s just wild. Everybody’s a sitting duck and these people have no power or control over the situation,' said one DOJ career employee.
'People are just in a state of shock and devastated.
It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen … Nothing that happened during the first Trump administration came anywhere close to this.'

The firings Monday, which don’t appear to have included any offers of reassignment, upped the tension further.
'It’s got to be among the most demoralizing moments in the history of the Department of Justice,' said one former DOJ career official.
'It is a flat-out purge of individuals who this administration must view either of suspect loyalty or have worked on matters they just did not like. …
We are in the early phases of what to me is just looking like a wholesale politically inspired demolition of the Department of Justice in key places.'

Me: YAYYYY!

Back to Politico: "Fear has also set in among prosecutors who handled cases against more than 1,500 people charged in connection with the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They already saw their work undermined and abandoned by the pardons Trump gave to nearly everyone convicted. However, their sheer numbers could be an obstacle to significant retribution.
Hundreds of Justice Department attorneys from across the country, including many who rarely get involved in criminal matters, picked up Jan. 6 cases in what DOJ says was the largest prosecutorial and investigative effort ever undertaken by the department.

'Obviously, they can’t fire everybody,' the former DOJ career official said."

Me: Oh really...

Politico: "At the FBI, a directive from the Justice Department’s acting No. 2 official, Emil Bove, to redirect the nation’s roughly 200 Joint Terrorism Task Forces toward immigration enforcement is rankling some agents who fear being called out the next time a terror plot in the making is missed.

Another former FBI official with extensive experience managing the task forces, which typically include federal, state and local law enforcement, said the DOJ move opens the FBI to being second-guessed the next time a major act of terrorism takes place, such as the truck attack that killed 14 people on New Orleans’ famous Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day."

Me: The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force has done little else over the past four years than investigate more than 1,000 J6ers. This often resulted in armed raids that traumatized families and neighborhoods. I am sorry your task force has to go back to doing the real work of protecting America.
