Summary
FBI agents involved in January 6 investigations are suing the Justice Department, citing retaliation under Trump’s leadership.
Two lawsuits, including a class action, claim Trump’s DOJ is compiling lists of agents for potential punitive action. Agents cite First Amendment and Privacy Act violations, fearing demotions, job denials, or exposure to Trump’s supporters.
The FBI Agents Association has also filed suit.
Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, has allegedly compiled an “enemies list,” raising concerns about political purges and protection of Trump loyalists.
How is the justice department funded? That’s right, our taxes.
Our taxes are going to be used to fight these lawsuits in court and when the department loses, our taxes will be used to pay for the damages to the FBI agents.
There are no real consequences from this to the Justice Department or the buffoon and his lackeys. The only loser is us.
This will look like chump change when they start directly pumping the crypto market with our taxes.
