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)
Well if they haven’t done anything wrong then
there should be no reason for them to worry.
They haven;t done anything wrong, have they?
They know full well that you don’t have to have done anything wrong to end up wiretapped and/or raided by GESTAPOBAMA Einsatzgruppen because they’ve been persecuting innocent political enemies for 15 years. They’ve laid down the template whereby their phone calls to Kalorama can be monitored without a lot of “hassles” like the Bill Of Rights getting in the way.
Thousands of hard drives are “crashing” right now with backup discs being “recycled per department policy”, phones are being “accidentally” erased and shredder trucks are likely lined up nose to tail outside of the JEH and RFK Buildings working 24/7.
Do they really think that the destruction of evidence and ‘lawyering up’ is going to help?
What if the military already has it all?
Tribunals incoming?
The military isn’t gonna do #&@^.
Those generals who participate in the cover up will face courts martial as will those who commited treasonous acts in the 45 administration (yeah you Milley).
Remember when trump said “we caught them alll” Time for retribution is coming.
I’m anxiously awaiting the release of all that information. And don’t rely on the MSM to put it out there. Hold press conferences. Think of them as mini rallies. Invite the MSM to attend, but make CSPAN show up and NPR. Continue to appear on podcasts.
I’ve been waiting 8 years to see some perp walks: Hillary, Obama, Brennan, Comey, Wray, Clapper, Strok, Page, McCabe, et al. The only problem is the DC judges and juries will never find them guilty. A trial for the Mar-a-Lago raid would be in FL though…so, there’s that.
Refresh my memory. When was this?
Why are people so obssessed with military tribunals? The observations of a lifetime make me very wary of resorting to such a measure, even if it were constitutional.
I doubt military tribunals are in order, but what makes you worry about them. If by some chance they were to occur under the Trump administration, I’m confident they’d be completely above board. This isn’t 1930s Germany, at least not anymore.
Military tribunals may be the only way. The District of Corruption’ judges are just that…corrupt. Durham brought his cases before The DC, where DC votes 99.999 % Demoncrat. They don’t even have to “judge shop” there; it’s just a matter of color and size, but, believe me, the suit will fit.
Case in point…January 6th prisoners. Any judge in DC who wanted to push the cases forward? No.
These people are evil in DC.
“With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.” —William Lloyd Garrison.
I totally agree. Get the nooses ready!
I received an education in DC politics when I vacationed there in Sept. 2012 when Obama was running for president against Romney.
I walked into a store that was selling political campaign mementos ( pennants, T shirts, coffee cups, etc.). I didn’t see a single item for Romney. It was Obama, Obama, Obama.
We don’t need a tribunal. All that is needed are Courts Martial.
I said this last week. They next step, and some is already taking place, of starting to expose all those in Congress including staff, un elected bureaucrats, state and local officials, business leaders, NGO’s, faith leaders of evidence of corruption, personal misconduct. All of it. From Epstein, Diddy, Nvxim, to bribes from lobbyists and foreign actors. Matt Gaetz has a video out of him taking a reporter to offices of Republicans that are on the Ethics committee, telling specifically how each one is corrupt. That will take out 2/3 of Congress if not more. Trump also has his folder of documents that the DOJ was to release, that they never found at Mara Lago. They are caught like rats. Start watching them try to flee. But to where?
You know Trey Gowdy and Turd Blossom (Karl Rove) are going bat shit crazy at the possibility that Matt Gaetz may become Attorney General. What do they have to hide?
Likewise the obsession with the myths of the “US Marshals”, “Admiral Mike Rodgers”, etc.
At least the obsession with “Trust Sessions” and “Trust Kansas” is over.
Exactly! The US Marshals are controlled by Garland and the DC Federal Court Judges. They ain’t sending Tommy Lee Jones to save us!
Treason.
enough with that Q nonsense about military tribunals.
NSA has it ALL…and THAT is why they shake in their boots….
Justice IS coming…..
NO MERCY
I believe this too.
Serious question here: what judges (at what level) moderate a trial of treason?
Problem is, spooks being around other spooks will do what spooks do. Every one of these creeps will have carefully preserved evidence against their colleagues as a personal rainy day fund in case they needed leverage. No way to destroy it all, especially when they know the first rats to roll over will get some degree of immunity.
Poetic, really.
Exactly.
“Concern’ is commensurate with “guilt”.
Of course, on the other hand, Trump did not do anything wrong either.
Yes, but can you imagine their squeals of outrage if THEIR same sort of ‘justice’ would now be applied to themselves?
I sometimes have a different perspective on proper responses from others on this board.
In respect to the FBI, CIA, DoJ, DHS, etc., operatives who broke the law: **** em all.
Minimize the vitriol. Publicize the pervasiveness of lawbreaking. Make sure the evidence is iron clad. Don’t make mistakes in the legal proceedings.
Follow the law to a T when exercising the gift that is the Nov election.
Military courts are different than civil courts.
Military has all the receipts.
Let’s clarify – the NSA has all the receipts. This is where the Director of the National Security Agency needs to be a super-clean Trump loyalist so that both the Congressional investigation committees and the Gaetz DOJ investigators can dip in and grab all of the evidence they need, then do the same “Classified Information” schtick that Jack Smith was running.
Would that not be Tulsi Gabbard, if confirmed as Director of National Intelligence (which oversees NSA)?
She has a valid axe to grind, as she was surveilled by that agency.
“Iron clad” evidence. You mean like the Crossfire Hurricane documents?
Don’t hold trials in the corrupt triangle of DC, VA, MD
Apparently, what’s good for the goose, not so much for the gander! However, (one hopes) prosecutions by Trump Administration will be based upon ACTUAL wrongdoing, instead of lawfare. The term malicious prosecution by DC criminals against Trump and many, comes to mind…
Let’s just say that regardless of who the AG is that there needs to be a completely new cast of MAGA lawyers ready to move into the DoJ offices at 12:15pm on 1/20/25. Reassign all the lawyers currently at DoJ in DC to offices all across the country, effective immediately. Have a crew ready to box contents from their desks and take pictures down off the walls. Another crew of new marshals should be ready to scan the box contents for sensitive information and make sure it stays in that office. Those marshals can then clean the office (sweep/vacuum, dust, etc) in preparation for the new lawyer who will occupy that office beginning at 8am on 1/21/25!
Reassign all the lawyers currently at DoJ in DC to offices all across the country, effective immediately.
Huh?
Fire them all, and that includes every US Attorney like Clinton did in 1992!
Replace every attorney in the DOJ Civil Rights Division and sue every state that commits election fraud! The DOJ did it in the 1960s and most southern states had to get approval from the DOJ to change anything in their election codes for decades afterwards. I’m tired of my vote being nullified by Demonrat fraud!
No! Fire them!
The amount of vote fraud in several states is rich and should produce greatly.
Omega4America (Jay Valentine) ought to be brought in for his business acumen about fraud.)
Anyone who interfered, lied, ignored law, or otherwise protected vote fraud can eventually do lots and lots of time in prison. Or they can talk. Point the finger upward at your boss who told you to do so and so….while we collectively point our middle one at you.
If you didn’t eat the cookies you won’t have crumbs on your lips
In other words, they’re afraid Trump is going to do to them what they did to Trump and his friends.
🎯
So it’s okay for the DOJ to single out Trump, Trump supporters, parents at school board meetings and Catholics for vindictive, frivolous prosecution in which the prosecution is the punishment, but if Trump does it, it is somehow beyond the Pale.
This is the problem with the democrat left (Marxism in general): they view themselves as victims from the start, thus making all those who disagree with them on policy the “aggressors” or criminals. They experience their anger and desire to prosecute as 100% justified.
But the reality is they are not victims, they have been the aggressors all along. They have to constantly twist the truth to place blame on others and hold themselves blameless.
These are not good people. These are not people who believe in the law and the system of justice as blind, these are people who insist on using the legal system to crush their political opponents. That is tyranny, that is not justice.
Whitney little bitches
Everything Trump has done was “above board” but that didn’t stop the “process is the punishment”. Any lesser person in stature and wealth would have been crushed.
Sure, like Chairman Whatley says he is “considering” prosecuting Pennsylvanians who admit and continue to ignore the law by counting illegal ballots. Republicans are good at strongly worded letters and lots of bluff, but never hold the other side accountable. Firing someone is not prosecuting them. I sincerely doubt that any of these people have anything to fear from republicans.
Chairman Whatley isn’t President Trump or the US AG. Stay tuned.
Ask your lawfare colleagues and activist judges what the penalty for treason is.
18 UScode 241. Conspiracy against rights.
Those FBLies agents who searched Melania and Baron’s rooms should get their resume’s sent out. Just doing their job isn’t going to help them at all. This isn’t just about the upper and middle management echelon, it’s about the boots on the ground who invaded their privacy.
Didn’t help the Nazi soldiers at the concentration camps did it?
A common entirely-unsuccessful defense at Nuremberg was that they were “just following orders.”
However, the Allies generally – with a few notable exceptions – did not go after the common German soldier who actually was just following orders.
Oh, boo hoo. How much money has President Donald John Trump spent defending himself against frivolous accusations, lawfare charges, and he’s been exonerated on every single charge, but it cost him millions to defend himself while THEY used OUR Taxpayer Dollars to persecute not just PDJT, but Rudy Guillani, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, and the J6 political prisoners.
Lawyer up.
Funny isn’t it? They’re seeking help from revenge which pretty much says they deserve it.
” Many of them planning to exit quickly and take a low-profile position.”
You in the FBI who persecuted President Trump, his allies and his J6 supporters, especially those who were embedded into the protest on 1/6 and incited violence, need to be concerned. The only question is To what country will you be serving this “low-profile position”? You cannot run and you cannot hide any more. Sure you are counting on the DC judges and juries to work diligently to declare you not guilty though YOU know your own guilt in this situation.
I love the “above board” mention. Where were you at the time? On the scaffolding outside the Capitol on 1/6/21? Above those boards? You wouldn’t be worried if everything you did was legal and ethical. You’re only concerned because you lost your moral compass and moved to the dark side!! Sadly, your “superiors” will likely throw you middle and lower level agents completely under the bus and run over you multiple times. Some of you may commit “suicide” and then be blamed for the sins of the leadership. You have exactly two months to come clean and become whistleblowers. 1/20/25 will be too late. The clock is ticking. Time to put up or lawyer up.
Let’s begin by eliminating the “DC Judicial Circuit.” The capitol does not need one of its own, and it cannot help but be a political cudgel.
I personally know ONE former DOJ lawyer, now retired, who won’t be investigated…because he has developed a severe case of dementia and is in a full-time senior assisted living home.
This lawyer traveled to London six times while investigating Trump.
He was a childhood friend but I haven’t seen him in many years. He tried to reach out to me several times last year before being committed but after I learned of his involvement in the $45 million taxpayer-funded Russia collusion hoax, I refused to speak to him. I feared I would have given him “the business” in a most forceful verbal manner.
His mental condition warrants sympathy, but his irreverence to the Constitution and country is too abhorrent for me to tolerate.
Started to read your post about a demented federal employee and thought you were typing about the gelatinous life form. You know. The one with the keys to AF!, 1600 Crackhead Ave, and the codes to the US Nuclear Arsenal. You know. The Big Guy who is immune from prosecution because he is “elderly and well meaning but has a bad memory”. That guy. By the way, do you suppose the Biden* defense will be used for all the rats scurrying around for legal help right now? Why not? The precedent has been established.
His condition didn’t just appear either. Think about that.
I have. Covid vaccine? He is in his 70s however…so it may just be a natural deterioration, albeit kinda early.
Wow, 6 times, He must have been pretty deep into the ops that were going on there.
Meetings with GCHQ, I imagine.
I recall a certain Philly mob figure who feigned Demetia for years to avoid prosecution. Thats weird.
Release the “Crossfire Hurricane” documents to the American citizenry. That alone will start the fire blazing at numerous mansions all across the fruited plain.
Read the book CHAOS
I did 20 years ago… on the recommendation of an English teacher friend !
Fantastic book. Launched an entire field of inquiry.
And imagine, it resulted from a computer round off error….
I am not so sure about the future of AI.
I know, not the topic of this thread. Sorry.
“Everything we did was above-board” … maybe in Maduro’s government it was, but not in ours.
Revenge prosecutions? MSNBC is the worst. How about calling it justice for criminal behavior? How about going before a military tribunal?
To all the deepstate snakes, all the devils minions and the rest of the DC cesspool scum ……….SOONER OR LATER
Rain Hell down on these bastagees…..
Blah blah blah, I do not care what a piece of paper says. Its all BS and smoke and mirrors. Laws were broken.
They are worried about long and costly legal battles.
Ya think? That was the point and purpose of the Trump legal attacks. They weren’t expected to win. They wanted the news and the costs to erode the Trump campaign.
But as for “revenge”? Revenge for what? Let’s get them to answer that question in public.
All these people need to be brought before a grand jury in a deep red area of the United States. Not DC.
It just takes one to turn.
Alexander Butterfield comes to mind…if you’re old enough to remember how Watergate unfolded.
Especially if that one can prove financial ties to the cartels and CCP.
If they served as stellar leaders and used our Constitution as their guide, what could possibly have them worried?
They’re showing the incoming administration exactly who the culprits are!
And now Attorney Client privilege is non existent.
Sounds good to me. Bankrupt them. Destroy them financially. Make it necessary for them to work into their seventies. It will make their peers think twice about their involvement in any new Lawfare scams. And while we are on this topic, how about a full fledged investigation of Brookings and that band of Miscreants? Do they get any Federal money? Bankrupt them also. It was the home for many of the Lawfare hacks who set up the Clinton scams. Close the organization down…
TREASON is NOT a CIVIL case or trial.
How long until there are reports of a fire at the DOG/FBI headquarters, or server’s destroyed? They might go as far as blowing up some thing, and saying that it was white supremacists! I don’t put anything past these people, they are just evil and corrupt!
RICO. Let them consume each other, desperately trying to avoid jail.
Any way Gaetz can cancel McCabe’s ill-gotten retirement? Throw him in the pot with the other cooked geese…
How do they think “exiting quickly and taking a low profile position” is, in ANY way, going to enable them to avoid Justice?
Thats truly desperation thinking.
Also, that bit at the end of the article “,…since they recieve less than they would in thevprivate sector, they rely on their pensions,..” where to begin on this manipulative line, included in order to engender sympathy?
First off, IF they entered Government service carrying student loan debt (highly likely!) upon hiring their loan is put “in obeyance” (they don’t have to make any payments) for their duration of service, and after 10 years, is “forgiven” entirely!
Second, any retiring agent, just by having a resume as a former FBI, can get employment as head of security for some corporation.
God, the spin/manipulation is so obvious, once you “see the strings”!
So many damn things need to be investigated. Is four years even enough? Maybe it’s only two as PDJT’s chief of staff said they only have two years (I assuming that she is assuming that the House will flip in 2026). If Gaetz gets in there (and he will, one way or another) I’m thinking he has a list of what he’s going after first? One bite at a time.
If ballot fraud is prosecuted and serious penalties ensue, the House 2026 will bring in greater numbers of patriotic MAGA types. Dems will fall of the window like dead bugs.
Cheerleading pissed off Gen X, worry Mary McCord, worry.
I hope Mark Elias is one of the rats scurrying to find a hiding place in the dark.
He must be crushed, destroyed, politically, professionally and financially.
Then prosecuted for sedition, election interference, and all his other despicable acts.
When they are arrested make sure to make a show of it. Arrest them at an airport in front of crowds (Peter Navarro) or in front of a terrified family (Pro-life demonstrators) or even better with CNN filming complete with frogmen (Roger Stone)
Turn about is fair. The process IS the punishment. It’s their turn to experience what they put their conservative enemies through. This will not be vengeance, it shall be justice.

nice ! this should go on the street pole along with the posters of missing children…..300+ thousand under the Mayorkas Biden Harris regime.
Aggravated Child abuse. What sort of penalty does that usually warrant ?
FAFO!
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch!
It’s TOO LATE to escape justice for the CRIMES they committed conducting the Lawfare witch hunts! They are going to face justice! Every damn one of them who abused their power, violated the law & infringed on the rights of Trump & his associates & supporters! They need to face the consequences of their unlawful conduct!
The most challenging aspect of understanding recent years in the massive exposure of political criminality in our entire govt, I just don’t understand their blatant sense of ‘untouchable’.
Did they really think themselves invisible and forever protected from any consequences?
So many are almost childlike in their views and reasoning. Or lack thereof.
I guess I just don’t get the whole “Anything goes as long as I can get away with it” mindset.
Once the scales were removed from our eyes, it will never be possible to unsee the whole slimy underbelly of the Cabal again.
They keep using the term frivolous lawsuits and emotional toll. Aren’t all of DOJ’s lawfare prosecution of PDJT frivolous? Has the DOJ exacted an emotional toll on PDJT and his supporters with false accusations and prosecutions. These idiots need to cry a river and not let the door hit them where the Good Lord split tgem
They should ALL be shaking in their boots…there’s a new Sheriff in town and they are all going to get what they deserve….let’s start with the 51 “intellegence “officers who said Hunter’s laptop was Russian Disinformation and swayed an election….fire them all and take away their pensions…..
HILARIOUS to see them sweat. They’re panicking and it’s funny as heck. Justice coming motha suckas.
Gosh…this is stacking up to be loads of fun for everyone!
I’m wondering if perhaps Elon Musk has had some tech stuff going that can and will (already did) retrieve and save oodles of damning evidence. Google and facebook are big, but smarter is better. David DID defeat the giant Goliath.
