FBI Agents Involved In Trump Cases fired. Is this justified?

The Trump administration forced out a number of FBI officials Friday, removing agents who worked on the criminal cases into President Trump as well as the heads of various field offices.

A source familiar said agents who had worked on the Mar-a-Lago and Jan. 6 investigations were escorted out of the Washington Field Office.

Acting Attorney General James McHenry told the agents their role in investigating Trump was the reason for their dismissals.

“Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the President’s agenda faithfully,” McHenry wrote in an email obtained by CNN.

I work in the capacity of a public servant. We are tasked with following the law, no matter what politician is in charge. Many, many times we do things that we may have personal objection to, but our job is to execute the law as best as we can using the resources we are given. This is the same situation. These people were dismissed for “doing their jobs”. It is a very slippery slope if we start injecting politics into the public service workforce.

Based on your behavior here Wally you cannot be trusted to behave impartially in a taxpayer paid job. I hope you have sort sort of local municipal job and I’m not paying you. No offense intended. Of course. @trollslayer

if there was wrong doing and they violated their oath and weren't forthcoming with certain facts, Yes but if this is retaliation for raiding his home then No but this is a trigger question, that will have some people jumping to conclusions. The truth will come out, if they feel they were wrongly discharged they file suit in court and the evidence is presented then so be it. The news is quick to throw these triggers out there and never follow up on what happened. No lawsuit, then they were complicit, lawsuit and it will be ALL over the news. I'll wait to see what happens if anything.

Its necessary really. An example has to be made to deter anyone who might decide to investigate Trump or his close minions for anything in the future. The man has to be untouchable by legal means.. Personally i think this is a mistake. Because people will form the opinion that the only way to remove him is by illegal means. And they will..😷

Son...I already live in a different world from you. I guess we are both glad about that.

How different?

And I dont owe the world over $100,000 like you do..😷

I am liquid. No debts.

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@sree251 My world have universal health cover. Subsidized University education for all citizens and few people own guns. So you dont have to buy a kevlar back pack to send your kid to school.
As for the other part. Sorry to inform you. But the trade deficit you have run up with the rest of the planet means your lifestyle is supported by a debt to the world of over $100,000 for every American man. woman and child. The interest alone on that totals over a $ Trillion a year at this time. Two points worth mentioning here. First, this debt is real and sooner of laster people are going to come for payment..Second, the way the system in the US is rigged you just know its not going to be the rich will pay..
You have a nice day now..🙂

Absolutely

Tяump didn't follow established procedures.
Tяump failed to justify the firings.
Tяump punished based on mere suspicion rather than on evidence.

That's how autocracy works; it's NOT how the rule of law works.

@ElwoodBlues @whowasthatmaskedman Democrats Warn Trump’s Unelected Shadow Government Is Dismantling Their Unelected Shadow Government

ElwoodBlues · M

@sunsporter1649 Meanwhile, broad disinflation appears to be over.
Eggs up 53% in Jan 2025 (as a yearly rate)
Uncooked beef roasts 7.5%
Bacon 6%
Motor vehicle insurance 11.8%
Motor vehicle repair 7.4%

We will end inflation and make America affordable again, and we’re going to get the prices down, we have to get them down. It’s too much. Groceries, cars, everything. We’re going to get the prices down.

Don-old J Tяump at Erie PA rally, Sept 29,2024

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one,” Trump continued. “We will drill, baby, drill,” he said, referring to increasing domestic oil production. “That’s going to bring down prices of everything.”

Well if I was president like Trump and broke the law but I also want to break future laws, it pays to make my administration an echo chamber. I would only want yes men if I'm being honest

@JSul3 exactly, Trump is doing it so he can have no one question him or hold him accountable

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@SatanBurger

Biden's siblings and their spouses: Biden issued pardons for his brothers James Biden and Francis Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens, sister-in-law Sara Jones Biden and brother-in-law John Owens.

Anthony Fauci: Fauci was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic in Trump's first administration. He was the target of right-wing criticism over his stance on vaccines and the origin of the pandemic.

Mark Milley: Milley was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trump's first presidency. He has said Trump is a fascist and a "wannabe dictator."

Members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol: Lawmakers involved in the final report were Chair Bennie Thompson, Vice Chair Liz Cheney, Zoe Lofgren, Adam Schiff, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy, Jamie Raskin, Elaine Luria and Adam Kinzinger.

Biden previously and controversially pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, last month after previously insisting he would never take such action. Hunter was set to be sentenced in two separate criminal cases: a felony gun charge and federal tax fraud. The president's son was convicted of three separate felony charges related to the 2018 purchase of a revolver in June 2024. He also admitted nine tax evasion charges in September.

Justified? Absolutely.

@BizSuitStacy

Justified? Absolutely

They were just following orders from the DOJ.

BizSuitStacy · M

@sree251 they hanged people at Nuremberg who tried using that excuse.

MarineBob · 56-60, M

@sree251 were the orders lawful?

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

You bet your bippy it is reasonable and justified

@sree251 Dude, Janine is not caught up in the mythology of "credit ratings," nor the kind of dickmeasuring you're trying to do. Unlike you & Tяump, she doesn't worship mammon.

@ElwoodBlues

Unlike you & Tяump, she doesn't worship mammon.

No, you woke folks hate mammon. You worship each other. And for a while, you got us in a corner. We are fighting back now. You need to get back in the pens where you belong. The order on the animal farm must be restored.

@sunsporter1649 I love how you disrespect judges because they're doing their job. Another sign that trump supporters are insurrectionists at heart.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@SatanBurger Show us where in The Constitution that judges are responcible for the budget, government employment, and citizinship

Reason10 · 70-79, M

It certainly is. Smith violated the law. He should be disbarred and arrested.

@Reason10 If you were right I am sure he would have been by now..😷

You are just repeating the MSNBC narrative, try thinking for yourself, it’s just like freedom

TheBannibalOne · 61-69, M

Yes,it is justified.Remember Adam Schiff with RUSSIA COLLUSION?All BS>

akindheart · 61-69, F

it was a set up and they went above and beyond what was needed or called for. I guess Trump was hiding top secret docs in Melania's underwear drawer.

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 46-50, MVIP

Last time around, FBI actively worked to get rid of Trump. Not this time. Trump is sending them out the door where they belong.

@newjaninev2 The FISA scandal is enforcing law? Rummaging through Melania's clothing is enforcing the law? 🤣

https://www.npr.org/2020/01/11/795566486/fbi-apologizes-to-court-for-mishandling-surveillance-of-trump-campaign-adviser

Excerpt: The FBI apologized to the secret court that handles national security investigations for the way it conducted surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser during the 2016 election, according to a court filing made public on Saturday.

https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/fbi-even-searched-melanias-wardrobe-in-trump-raid/

Excerpt: FBI agents scoured Melania Trump’s wardrobe and spent several hours combing through Donald Trump’s private office, breaking open his safe and rifling through drawers when they raided the former First Family’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida Monday morning.

...FBI: America's KGB. Patel can't get confirmed fast enough to clean the stink out of that agency.

No, not according to their previous superiors' interpretation of the law.
