The Justice Department has removed top national security officials as part of a widespread purge of senior career leaders across the law enforcement agency, according to people familiar with the decisions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel issues.
The transferring of at least three national security officials amounts to a complete gutting of leadership in the highly sensitive National Security Division, which is charged with working with the FBI and other intelligence agencies to protect the nation from threats.
It is unclear if the national security officials were provided a reason for their removals. They were technically not fired, with at least some of them being transferred to other parts of the Justice Department in less desirable positions, according to people familiar with the transfers.
The officials must now decide if they will accept those new assignments or resign.
The removals — which come after a multiple ousters of senior Justice officials on Friday — reflect the Trump administration’s effort to push out experienced career officials from nonpartisan roles at the Justice Department, likely paving the way for President Donald Trump and his allies to install people in these traditionally nonpartisan positions who align ideologically with the president. Trump and his allies have long lambasted the Justice Department as weaponizing the law enforcement agency against him and the administration has sought to root out career officials who could undercut the president’s agenda.

Winning
Nonpartisan means anti Trump pro pervert
Tulsi?
The media is hyperventilating so hard it sounds like Krystalnacht all over again.
1. “widespread purge of senior career leaders” — Sounds SO Soviet!
2. “The transferring of at least three national security officials” — oh, so it’s just a “transfer”.
3. “a complete gutting of leadership” — Oops, no, it’s a “gutting”
4. “technically not fired” — it morphed into a “not a firing.”
5. “The removals” — now it’s only “removals”
Perry Stein and Salvador Rizzo are sure having a hard time keeping their story straight. They are all over the map in a few paragraphs. Take your pick: purged, transferred, gutted, not fired, or removed.
Trump and his administration can fire anyone they damn well please when will these fools get that
Is this Jeffrey Ragsdale, Melissa MacTough and Brad Wiegmann, or some others?
They certainly have balls of brass!
I can not fathom the depths of such mendacity.
This is what WINNING looks like.
They don’t call it a purge when it’s a Democrat administration.
Faster please.
“according to people familiar with the decisions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, to discuss personnel issues”
this is anon sources x10...LOL FAKE!!!
As I read the title, I immediately thought of Admiral Rogers, who in November 2016 informed President Elect Trump of the spying shenanigans. A real patriot. I found this great review of all that in the link below. Be sure to scroll and read the entire article.

“nonpartisan roles”
From personal experience, non-partisan is a fiction. Don’t buy that BS.
Yeah, what nation/s were they working to secure? I suspect America was last on their list.
Interesting how they pretend that the “nonpartisan roles” continued to be nonpartisan during the Biden fiasco.
“… the highly sensitive National Security Division…”
Yes. I immediately thought of the Russian Altis bank fake investigation and the dossier from Hellary. There’s so much these re-assigned guys could have been in on.
Particularly Obama’s administration, or rather regime.
Nonpartisan my ass.

Isn’t this Tulsi’s sandbox?
