According to NBC, DOJ Lawfare operatives and FBI agents within the corrupt and weaponized silos, are calling their friends for legal assistance and protection against investigations of their past activity.
It is easy to see how DOJ-NSD officials would be worried, particularly given the nature of how Deputy AG Lisa Monaco organized them over the past four years to continue Lawfare efforts against President Trump. Perhaps one name, Mary McCord, should be concerned a little more than most.
Additionally, the FBI agents who participated in the witch hunts against President Trump and his allies are also concerned. Both groups now reaching out to lawyers proactively evaluating their risk against the backdrop of demonstrably corrupt and illegal activity.
In short, the article outlines how they were nervous before, but they are extremely worried now that Matt Gaetz has been nominated as Attorney General. Many of them planning to exit quickly and take a low-profile position.

WASHINGTON DC – Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.
Following Trump’s decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility that they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said.
“Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. “But this is a different world.”
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of becoming even more of a target, doesn’t believe any attempt to prosecute him will be successful. Judges and juries have the power to throw out cases or find defendants innocent if they deem prosecutions to be baseless.
But like many other current and former Justice Department officials, he is bracing for a potentially long and costly legal battle, as well as the possibility of protracted congressional investigations, after Trump takes office in January.
Career FBI employees are especially vulnerable, the official added. Since they make less money than they would in the private sector, they rely on the pensions they receive after 20 years. (read more)
I’m not looking for retribution, I’m looking for hope, that our constitution and laws work.
I want justice. And that entails retribution.
It’s so ironic that Kirschner thinks that investigating these FIB officials and attorneys is retribution or revenge and what they did was legal and aboveboard. They are either clueless, which I’m guessing a small percent might be, or corrupt and know it. Let the investigation begin. If, and only if, there is REAL evidence of wrongdoing (which we are pretty certain there is), then prosecute.
Kirschner uses the deep state Durham investigation as evidence. Well, we all know that was uniparty protecting the entrenched and made a few trials, that would go nowhere, to appease the quiet majority that we tried. I think you START with deep state uniparty RINO’s so everyone understands it’s NOT partisan, it’s corruption that is getting removed.
they don’t really think that. that is CYA media spin for consumption of low info voters to be used against any Trump person who runs for office in the future. They have no idea what is coming for them. They think that Trump will do to them what they did to him. What would be most appropriate would be for them to be prosecuted for known crimes then disbarred, even something as simple as wiping their phones or destroying evidence which Jim Jordan has already requested citing “normal oversight activities.” This way it is not on Trump, but the enforcement of existing law. Also prevents them from just moving over someplace like Perkins Coie Law Firm.
Did Kirsch speak out when PTrump was the target? Rhetorical
Us serfs want their pound of flesh. And rightly so. The monster is fully aware of their treason.
I want my pound of flesh well done, with ketchup…and hot sauce…
I get a kick every time you show that picture. I was your local “driver” that day back in 2020 and the one who pointed out the VERY unique DOJ/FBI view from your Trump Intl hotel window. 😀
If you didn’t do anything ill egal, you have nothing to worry about.
After reading most of these comments, I’ve concluded that Treepers have long memories. If we’ve forgotten anything, Sundance will remind us.
Main stream media talking points have become revenge prosecution. Let’s call this what it truly is “ACCOUNTABILITY “ nothing more and nothing less. If you have laid your head upon the rack of the guillotine you own your reckless behavior even if somebody has told you the blade can not fall, but that blade is still above your head.
It is time for change and accountability.
Can anyone send the link or even reference the quote where President Trump said ” he is going to use the full force of the military to go after his POLITICAL OPPONETS”? He said this is what they have done over the last four years but I can’t recall him saying he will do the same. He said based on what they have done he “would have ever right too”. Convicting an official who broke the law is Justice served not retribution. Even with the pending slander suits they are still slandering the President.
“Aboveboard” about to meet wood chipper.
I believe we have seen the results of a seditious conspiracy(s) against the office of POTUS ongoing in different
forms for the last 8 years.

If everything was above board there’d be no need to retain an attorney. We can only hope this was Strozk (and he’s previously claimed he never did wrong), Comey (also claimed everything was above board), or the weasel of weasels, McCabe.
It’d be especially sweet to see Strozk (“No he won’t. We’ll stop him.”) sentenced to prison and lose his pension.
Or death.

I’m not hoping for long, protracted investigations, I’m hoping for short, decisive decisions and endings of the traitor scum.
But that’s just me. I think that. Justice and retribution actually have tightly overlapping circles in this situation.
Glenn Kirschner sounds worried.
Hang them all. Their conduct was and is not just suspect it is sedition personified. It is beyond treason and they know it.
