FBI and DOJ agents getting out of dodge following Trump's victory
It appears that members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and of the Department of Justice (DOJ) are getting out of dodge.
The Blaze reports that, with President-Elect Donald Trump getting ready to take back over, some agents are getting ready to flee.
The report suggests that this has something to do with the fact that Trump is planning to "clean house."
There will be more on this in a moment.
The details
The Blaze reports that the 2024 election results shocked many in D.C.
Per the outlet:
Employees at the Biden-Harris Department of Justice and their fellow travelers at the FBI are apparently "shell-shocked" and updating their resumes following President-elect Donald Trump's landslide electoral victory.
They are updating their resumes because they know that they are most likely going to need to find other employment.
The Blaze continues, "Federal bureaucrats' apparent fears of a thorough housecleaning are justified, as Trump has made no secret of his plan to 'shatter the Deep State and restore government that is controlled by the People.'"
This is expected to be one of Trump's top agenda items when he reenters the White House.
Trump's plan
Following his massive election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, attention is being called to Trump's plan to "dismantle the deep state and return power to the American people."
This was actually a plan that he released over a year ago. It has 10 steps to it.
The first five are:
1. On Day One, re-issue 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats. 2. Overhaul federal departments and agencies, firing all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus. 3. Fundamentally reform the FISA courts, ensuring that corruption is rooted out. 4. Establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and abuses of power. 5. Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the media to create false narratives, pressing criminal charges when appropriate.
And, the second five are:
6. Make every Inspector General’s Office independent from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become protectors of the deep state. 7. Establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure that they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people. 8. Continue Trump administration effort to move parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of the Washington Swamp, just like President Trump moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado. Up to 100,000 government positions could be moved out of Washington. 9. Ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and regulate, such as Big Pharma. 10. Push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.
No wonder many are fleeing.
