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.

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.

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.

“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.”
