Day: February 4, 2025

OP-ED     I and other former FBI-related people are expecting an employment-termination “bloodbath” at FBI today and tomorrow.  

My guess is acting FBI director Brian Driscoll will be gone by this evening for defying a direct order seeking names of FBI employees—perhaps more than 6,000—involved in Jan 6 cases.

It is hard for me to see how James Dennehy, who runs the NY field office, keeps his job after sending defiant email to colleagues over the weekend promising to “dig in” and not step down or follow orders.

The NYT obtained the email. Dennehy: “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,” Dennehy wrote.

“Good people” my ass. This FBI needs to be abolished or purged. Sounds like Trump is going the route of the purge. Let’s just hope the purge is thorough and complete.  I have no empathy for the members of the FBI that allowed themselves to be used as a weapon against a political enemy of the last administration.

And his people also “did their job?” Were they also “doing their job” when they ignored the ANTIFA and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots and violence in the summer of 2020…?

Did their job?  That remark is so absurd, so utterly out of touch and fraudulent, cartoons are being made of it:

I seem to remember a common phrase spoken at the Nuremberg Trials “I was just following orders”. Didn’t work out too well then. Let’s hope it does not work out well here. 

Dennehy also said the removal of top officials including at Miami and Washington field offices have caused “fear and angst within the F.B.I. ranks.”

Just imagine the fear and angst those innocent J6ers and their families felt when raided at dawn by FBI swat teams!

Can’t be worse than the “fear and angst” that we the people have felt for the past decade watching our government turn against us!!!

The FBI under Democratic Party rule became a full-blown Deep State cartel – protecting cronies, crushing dissent, and weaponizing justice against political enemies. Now, as the rot gets exposed, the insubordinate foot soldiers are squealing about ‘fear and angst.’ Sorry Dennehy, you’re not a war hero, you’re just another bureaucratic thug who thought his badge made him untouchable. Pack your shit and get out.

It seems to me that if the FBI live in fear of pissing off the American People, things are proceeding as they should.

Dennehy then compared his insubordination . . .  to being a Marine “in the early 1990s, . . .  when he dug a small foxhole five feet deep and hunkered down for safety. “It sucked,” he wrote. “But it worked.”

Perhaps part of Dennehy’s “foxhole” over these ongoing FBI Firings is one of the factors leading to what is reportedly going to be some type of large FBI Agent protest in Washington, DC, over the J6 firings. 

One wonders if the FBI will be using it’s typical Protestor Uniforms:

You remember those “protesters” don’t you?  Turned out to be mostly FBI agents masquerading as “Patriot Front” to arrest folks they lured-in to the allegedly patriotic group!

Now guys like Dennehy are trying to pretend they’re the good guys.  Or maybe he’s not pretending?  Maybe he actually believes his own bullcrap?

The hubris of the deep state has always been its greatest weakness. They really do believe they run the world and the voters are their subjects.

I don’t believe this is going to end well for Mr. Dennehy; If someone tells him he’s fired, he’s still fired whether he has dug a foxhole or not.

And if he is among those being fired (purged) then that’s fine with me. I say oust him and everyone who acted like him. 

It should serve to remind everyone ELSE at FBI (and other federal agencies) they work for us.  We don’t work for them.  They serve us, we don’t serve them.

We keep the Constitution to safeguard our rights.  If they violate it, they get fired. Period. Full stop.

Arresting people for memes, making personal visits to private citizen homes over “remarks on Facebook/Twitter/Reddit/X etc.” . . . is not what we pay FBI to do.

Today seems to be a sort of Reckoning; the Trump Administration on behalf of the American people, seems poised to clean house.

Mr. President, please “get to it” expeditiously.
