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.

      The crazier shit gets, this possiblity only increases. All it takes is some secret service, or intelligence agent to lose their job or something, and snap.

      And the more that they fuck with people’s livelihoods, the more dangerous things are going to get for them.

        Doesn’t even need to come down to a ‘snap’. Every single federal employee and member of the military swore an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic.

        Trump still stealing this world’s oxygen is a result of countless people falling to live up to that oath.
