The Department of Justice is exploring potential criminal charges against former U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) officials who attempted to block the Trump administration’s leadership changes at the federally funded think tank Monday, a senior DOJ official told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The official, who requested anonymity, told the DCNF the DOJ is examining whether certain USIP actions — such as the removal and destruction of internal and external door locks — created illegal fire hazards. The official also flagged the widespread distribution of internal flyers instructing USIP staff not to cooperate with incoming Trump administration officials as potentially obstructive conduct. The DCNF was the first to report on USIP’s internal flyer campaign and destruction of door locks.
“Eleven board members were lawfully removed, and remaining board members appointed Kenneth Jackson acting president,” Anna Kelly, White House deputy press secretary, previously told the DCNF. “Rogue bureaucrats will not be allowed to hold agencies hostage. The Trump administration will enforce the President’s executive authority and ensure his agencies remain accountable to the American people.”

I would not want to be a Leftist under investigation from Trump 2.0...not going to be fun.
LOLOL. “…examining whether certain USIP actions — such as the removal and destruction of internal and external door locks — created illegal fire hazards.”
The G-Men got Al Capone on the tangential tax evasion charges, not his serious crimes.
“What are ya in for, Bud?”
“I got five to ten for changing door locks and creating a fire hazard.”

No convictions under Trump-hating DC jury pools.
Change of venue in order.
Is anyone happy with “explore” Im not. As time moves forward we are hearing these words that are not seriously moving in the “charges” realm. Are we being softened up and kicking this can down the road? I believe the American people are owed JUSTICE for all that has been done and uncovered regardless of who that might be
The irony is that it will still cost them a fortune in legal fees to defend themselves. Which is kind of the purpose of lawfare. It’s a little painful being on the receiving end.

Rah, rah, sis boom bah! Bombshell! Any minute now, justice will be served.
Wake me when there is justice. It has been 20+ years of overt lawlessness and politicized justice (lawfare).
It’s amazing......these tax paid govt agents all have the same attitude;
a complete lack of responsibility to those of us footing their salaries.
“What are ya in for, Bud?”
“I got five to ten for changing door locks and creating a fire hazard.”
“What were you arrested for, kid?” And I said, “Litterin’.” And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, “And creating a nuisance.” And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin’ about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.
I thought there were exceptions, but if there are any, they are hidden from plain view.
“”Institute of Peace sounds like something out of Orwell’s 1984””
Am I the only one who has never heard of this agency?
The source of this is anonymous? The entire agency must be anonymous. Googling shows Congress set it up in 1984 but everything I tried to get into for an explanation of who/what/where is BLOCKED from access except Wiki. Sure a fancy building in DC. I’m glad Musk knows to look under the rug. Very intriguing...
How does Congress set something up like this that is unknown to the taxpayer? Unheard of - never makes the news - never hear about someone being appointed to head it up????? Apparently several cabinet members are involved in it.
What HAVE THEY DONE that’s worth taxpayers paying for it?
