Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that “nobody in the civil service can be fired because of political reasons.”
Raskin said, “The attack on the FBI is extraordinary because for decades it really has been an apolitical operation. There are Republicans who work there, Independents, Democrats. They’ve served all administrations. and now, just because they were assigned to work on the most massive attack on the U.S. Capitol in American history and to prosecute cop assaulters they’re being fired or they’re being investigated. So there’s this mass purge taking place, obviously, coming from the top. What their overriding and what we’re standing on in the first wave of this is the civil service protections that people have. You know, even at the FBI, people have to have a due process administrative hearing before they’re fired.”

“Raskin Says No Civil Servant Can Be Fired for Harboring Political Views”
I agree. It’s when their political views affect their actions that they can be fired and/or prosecuted.
Take yer pick, Raskin.
They won’t be fired for their political views and this idiot knows it. They’ll be fired for failing to carry out the lawful orders and policies of the Executive Branch and/or for sabotaging same.
NOW he tells us.
You Rats did it. Not fired for views, but for disobeying presidential directives, cover-ups and various conspiracies that led to violations of law and civil rights and systematic fraud perpetrated on the American people
The unelected government employees work for those who we elect, and those who elected officials nominate and confirm. They can be fired for any reason.
Was there a single whistleblower at the FBI documenting the abuses against J6ers?
Raskin the Rat , with his rat like features.
Raskin has no problem with citizens being thrown into gulags though, political beliefs be damned.
If any court cases fighting their termination are successful just make sure their new duty station is Antarctica—and they must report to their igloo five days a week.
They are welcome to have their political views but shoukd those views influence their actions at their job and it goes against employers plans, any employer would be stupid to keep them.
““The attack on the FBI is extraordinary because for decades it really has been an apolitical operation.”
one of the most ridiculous lies yet from the party of liars ... no one except for those who are totally ignorant of the history of the FBI, up to and including 1/19/2025, are going to believe this ... and only on MSNBC would raskin dare tell such an obvious lie without at least some pushback ...
for decades it really has been an apolitical operation...until you pukes corrupted it
they’ll be lucky if it’s just a firing, instead of a prosecution
He’s a PUTZ
I agree. Fire them for no reason.
One of my recollections of the Clinton admin is that he cleaned house big time in the agencies/departments.
Then we have obama that cleaned house in the generals/admirals department
So I say bullshit, it has happened before, there is a precedence.
And most importantly, they are not “Civil Servants”. They are political hacks aligned with the communists with most of them engaged in lawfare or other nasties intended to subvert the President.
Trump never cleaned house his first term and look what it got him. He learned. He’s now doing what’s right.
Raskin should be glad we are not the ChiComs, for the ChiComs would just shoot anyone in their way.
That's why I call him "Ratskin".
Yep Ratskin was all for it when they were in charge.
Political views are one thing: Unlawful political actions are a termination offense.
