“Toscas was a top counterintelligence attorney who played a key role in deciding to search Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to retrieve the documents. ... Two people familiar with the matter said he was transferred to a newly created Office of Sanctuary Cities Enforcement in the associate attorney general’s office.”

Trump has been taught how to play hardball ... no more Mr. Nice Guy!

[btw, why the hell is a top counterintelligence attorney going after Melania’s underwear drawer instead of the chinese who biden himself said have infiltrated ALL of our energy and water infrastructure with malware?]

I also recommend Attu & Shemya in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands

We had an ASA detachment in Shemya, where there allegedly was "a woman behind every tree." Problem is, there are no trees in Shemya.

Tosca goes way back to the whitewash of Hillary’s emails, and FISA warrants, Trump Russia and all the rest of it.

An anonymous source informed us that the Trump administration permanently reassigned several top career officials in the Justice Department’s national security and criminal divisions to Nome , Alaska.

Have they searched Toscas’ home and person or glove box for Melania’s ‘confiscated’ underwear?

Open an External Revenue office in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard does not require a visa or passport. Then revoke their passports. Sunrise in Svalbard is 11:46 am - February 16.

The highest strategic use of Greenland might be as a place to transfer career bureaucrats.

And they can build their own Igloos.

Notice that the guy with the scythe is going about three times as fast as the guy with the electric weed whacker.

Speaking of Bruce Swartz- from another thread:

Now the kicker: “Shortly after the 2016 elections, Ohr participated in several meetings with three senior attorneys from the Department’s Criminal Division during which they discussed ways to move the Manafort investigation forward more quickly.” The IG report then notes that “between November 16, 2016 and December 15, 2016, Ohr participated in several meetings that were attended, at various times, by some or all of the following individuals: [Bruce] Swartz, [Zainab Ahmad], Andrew Weissmann (then Section Chief of CRM’s Fraud Section), [Peter] Strzok, and Lisa Page.”

Further, according to the IG report, the meetings involving Ohr, Swartz, Ahmad, and Weissmann focused on their shared concern that MLARS was not moving quickly enough on the Manafort criminal investigation and whether they could move the investigation forward. Additionally, both Ohr and Swartz told the IG “they felt an urgency to move the Manafort investigation forward because of Trump’s election and a concern that the new administration would shut the investigation down.”

Remember, Weissmann Ran the Special Counsel
During one December 2016 meeting—the date of which was not specified—Ohr, Swartz, Ahmad, and Weissmann “discussed a plan for the Department to approach [a] foreign national,” who was currently under indictment and who “Ohr, Swartz, Ahmad, and Weissmann came to believe had information relating to Manafort’s alleged criminal conduct.”

Bruce Swartz was one of these:

Three top Senior Justice Department officials, two who are senior prosecutors on Robert Mueller’ Special Counsel, met with Bruce Ohr in the summer of 2016, well before the FBI sought a FISA warrant on a Trump campaign official. Ohr informed the trio of DOJ officials about his close contact with former British Spy Christopher Steele, whose dossier was used as the bulk of evidence to obtain the warrant to spy on Carter Page..../snip
