Hannah Arendt, in The Origins of Totalitarianism, discusses how totalitarian regimes exhibit extreme contempt for facts and fabricate realities to suppress opposition, which can include retaliating against investigators.

If I were in their shoes, I think I’d be finding an attorney to sue the DOJ for wrongful termination to make them prove that there was anything remotely unprofessional or biased in the way they performed their duties.

doctorgeorge.bsky.social•31 days ago

Absolutely right. I expect that will happen. There is going to be an ocean of litigation against this administration.

dofishknowpants.bsky.social•31 days ago

Not just an ocean. The litigation against Trump 2 will be as deep as the core and have a height surpassing the moon.

lexnonquaeritquem.bsky.social•31 days ago

Prosecutors have immunity for their work as prosecutors.

madsen85.bsky.social•31 days ago

Not stuff, just Banana Republic.

reanorio.bsky.social•31 days ago

Ok, I thought that happens only in 3rd world countries....

mhbiedermann.bsky.social•30 days ago

That's what I intend to do to keep it save from all those loonies around DT

Let's rename the US that way: Banana Republic.

skillsgeek.bsky.social•30 days ago

Now Biden’s last minute pardons make complete sense…

How long before Trump revokes all ex-president security…

fellat.bsky.social•31 days ago

As european I'm really surprised how big power the US president has.

kernelkorn420.bsky.social•31 days ago

the US legislature spent the last 100 years abdicating power bit by bit to the executive. it seemed logical since the legislature was often so ineffective that nothing ever got done.

but the biggest thing right now is that the legislature is fully behind Trump so no check on him at all

val1119.bsky.social•31 days ago

Dictator stuff!!!

maime51.bsky.social•31 days ago

Great way to spend our tax dollars! Four years of pettiness and sycophants!

redwingz24.bsky.social•31 days ago

“This is Banana Republic stuff” no it’s not, it’s now America stuff.

byskyowensrosa.bsky.social•31 days ago

It's really smart. So can we fire them for not doing their jobs n not locking up Trump?

finniebop.bsky.social•31 days ago

Where is the Democratic Party? Where are those who aren’t MAGA with their voices? I

dagies.bsky.social•31 days ago

Wait. Since when does DOJ implement the President's "agenda".

Talk about weaponization.

Hypocrites.

integrity4most.bsky.social•31 days ago

If you work for the American people and the Constitution, you're shit.

tj-tarheel.bsky.social•31 days ago

It is, and we’re in a downward spiral led by Donald Trump the dumbest idiot who walks the earth and has power over the now screwed up United States of America. He’s going to be our demise if the powers that be don’t man up, grow some, and implement the 25th before it’s too late!

provaxtexan.bsky.social•31 days ago

Fired for disloyalty. So where is all this "meritocracy" they speak of?

angelcanes.bsky.social•31 days ago

A dictatorship

harriet75.bsky.social•31 days ago

This is absolutely insane!

sueshoes8.bsky.social•31 days ago

Care more about your citizens

happyinyorks.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s a fascist dictatorship and idiots voted for it.

Can you say dictatorship?😡

pacifcmigrant.bsky.social•31 days ago

They’re not trying to hide or sugarcoat who they are.

lesliehilton0131.bsky.social•31 days ago

BS!!!!!

macomac.bsky.social•31 days ago

USA is a former democracy and known for it’s freedom.

…… poorly educational system killed it.

nois185.bsky.social•31 days ago

You're right, sadly.

unofficialmk76.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'd compare him with Hitler, but the assassination attempts on him weren't fake.

vguyen.bsky.social•31 days ago

ktroester.bsky.social•31 days ago

But he said it was Biden weaponizing the DoJ! 🤣🤡

somaj09.bsky.social•31 days ago

Banana Republic 🍌

deekmansky.bsky.social•31 days ago

I think calling it a banana republic is underselling it… but I guess if you add kangaroo courts, clown car cabinets, then add a soupçon of mob boss and dictatorship, then you’re getting close.

ineedabath.bsky.social•31 days ago

I hope the banana leader slips on a peel.

whysoseriousk1177.bsky.social•31 days ago

And cracks his head open like a watermelon... sorry, not sorry

anthony-p.bsky.social•31 days ago

American Fascism in full swing!

estabon-vadesi.bsky.social•31 days ago

Can we discuss the DoJ "implementing Trump's agenda"....please? Thanks.

laveritas.bsky.social•31 days ago

Exactly. They folow the law do they not?

anonemus13.bsky.social•31 days ago

So much for all that “not weaponizing the justice department” by firing all those who didn’t show allegiance to the former guy.

emchester70.bsky.social•31 days ago

I feel some Luigi’s coming.

nois185.bsky.social•31 days ago

Fascism is in progress. Methods are well known.

deyjavue.bsky.social•30 days ago

Of course it is. WTF did ppl think he was talking about during during the campaign

robsoldpal.bsky.social•31 days ago

The ones with integrity are being thrown out. To be replaced by loyalists

sfwoodworth57.bsky.social•31 days ago

I think we need to change the name of Herr Trump anti-democratic activities to “Weeks” of the Long Knives.

gunweary.bsky.social•31 days ago

This will backfire as any legal actions they place will mean discovery of all Trump related materials

scottrsparks.bsky.social•31 days ago

People don’t understand the gravity of these moves. These are the same moves that Hitler made. We are getting closer to being led by an authoritarian and his oligarchs.

okaynova.bsky.social•31 days ago

You are right. My family and friends seem to shrug all this stuff off as no big deal and think I am an alarmist. They don't see the trains light coming at them.

heartsrunner.bsky.social•30 days ago

His supporters in Congress are making a proposal to amend the 2 term limit and give him a 3rd term.

If this happens, the people must retaliate.

scottrsparks.bsky.social•30 days ago

It will be difficult to amend the constitution. But if anyone can it is Felon47.

dalilover101.bsky.social•31 days ago

Great way to WASTE OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS! To try prove that so many crimes weren’t committed when we saw them with our own eyes! MORONIC BEHAVIOR!

gofalcons.bsky.social•31 days ago

After all that money spent on prosecuting the 1500 people.

pedrovcr.bsky.social•31 days ago

When the president controls the justice system, there is no justice and we are in a dictatorship: all power is in the hands of the tyrant.

770yd.bsky.social•31 days ago

I would get some clairification on this. Because, you can't simply be fired from the FBI, because the President doesnt like you. You can be transferred or be vacated from a certain position, but that doesnt mean you've been terminated from the FBI.
The terminology in the article seems misleading.

gimmeabreak.bsky.social•31 days ago

So it appears we're stymied at every turn. What's the plan, folks? To just say we've been outmaneuvered & give up?

gimmeabreak.bsky.social•31 days ago

More than a dozen officials who worked on the criminal investigations into Donald Trump have been fired, according to sources familiar with the matter.

A letter from acting Attorney General James McHenry to the officials said they cannot be “trusted” to “faithfully” implement Trump’s agenda.

suzlac.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s not about governing for the American people it’s about grifting and retaliation

gofalcons.bsky.social•31 days ago

And rewarding the rich

ambimom.bsky.social•31 days ago

We are a banana republic now

brunski88.bsky.social•31 days ago

So repulsive.

heartsrunner.bsky.social•30 days ago

"hand over 'all information you have related to..."

How about the employees take boxes of classified information home and leave them in their bathrooms, shower, and bedroom?

That's clearly not a crime

jekmann.bsky.social•31 days ago

You are throwing your allies straight into the arms of China. They seem like the stable super power atm.

ramblingbruin.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yes, it definitely is.
