Donald Trump is back, and the federal bureaucrats are feeling the heat.
With Trump poised to assume the presidency once more, many at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI find themselves in a state of panic, hastily updating their resumes and eyeing the exits.
Sources within the agencies reveal that employees fear a comprehensive restructuring as Trump gears up to "shatter the Deep State" and restore accountability in government.
Following Trump's announcement to reintroduce his 2020 executive order creating the Schedule F employment category, the landscape of federal employment is about to face a seismic shift.
This order allows for the streamlined removal of underperforming bureaucrats, and it is clear that Trump intends to hold federal employees accountable for their actions, especially those who have appeared politically motivated.
Biden's administration had previously revoked this order, opting instead for rules that shield bureaucrats from being removed.
Trump's commitment to revising these protections signals a return to a government accountable to the people rather than entrenched interests.
Trump's plans extend beyond mere personnel changes.
He aims to overhaul agencies that he claims have been weaponized against conservatives and Americans at large.
As he puts it, "faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies."
The imminent shake-up at the DOJ and FBI has left many in these agencies uneasy, particularly as they anticipate a wave of retribution for what has been seen as a politicized justice system.
Even names like FBI Director Christopher Wray are under scrutiny, with insiders noting that no one in leadership may be safe from the impending changes.
The alarm bells are ringing, and it's evident that Trump is ready to make sweeping reforms.
This potential upheaval is further reinforced by the involvement of business leader Elon Musk, who is set to lead an efficiency initiative aimed at cutting through bureaucratic bloat.
Amidst these changes, some within the FBI reportedly find solace in the belief that Trump may issue pardons for nonviolent protesters associated with the January 6 events, mitigating the consequences of their actions.
However, the current Democratic-led judiciary appears undeterred, continuing to pursue cases against these individuals despite the growing sentiment of change.
As the clock ticks down to Trump's inauguration, the anxiety among federal employees is palpable.
"The countdown is on," one insider remarked, suggesting that many are scrambling to secure their futures outside of government.
With every passing day, it becomes clearer that Trump’s return will challenge the status quo in Washington and restore a sense of accountability that many Americans have been craving.
