Summary

Nine anonymous FBI agents have sued Trump’s Justice Department, alleging an unlawful purge of officials involved in January 6 and Trump-related investigations.

The lawsuit challenges a DOJ survey used to identify and potentially fire agents, calling it political retribution.

Agents fear data breaches and retaliation, citing Elon Musk’s alleged access to government databases.

The lawsuit claims violations of privacy and First Amendment rights.

    Legal actions against a man above the law. Yeah, sorry FBI agents, y’all are going to have to choose between vigilante justice or no justice, like the rest of us peasants.

      Setting aside the question of whether Trump is above the law, this won’t be suing Trump, but rather the DoJ, their employer.

        And anyone enacting trumps orders. They’ll just plead guilty and take the pardon so they can get back to corrupting the nation before dinner.

    Glad to hear it, though I’m not holding my breath for justice from Trump’s DOJ.

    Civil lawsuits against a taxpayer-funded administration and the richest man in the world aren’t going to touch the sides during this blitzkreig coup. Immediate intervention with arrests and sanctions, combined with widespread unrest from local authorities and public protests are likely to be the only way anything will change now, and it would have to happen soon, before Elon breaks into the final remaining departments to take over.
