@anneapplebaum This makes me so sad. We are losing so many good people. I’m grateful for your service and angry that sycophants are driving career professionals away. Who will be left?

@anneapplebaum To be replaced by an inferior officer, whose loyalty carried a greater weight than their capability or intelligence…

@anneapplebaum If we ever have a free and fair election again and if somehow the Democrats and the citizens of the US rise to the occasion, we'll have to root out all of the political hacks who Trump has installed in the executive branch. Surprising no one they have created the exact problem they pretended existed before.

"...more and more special agents are driven out of the Bureau on mere suspicion of political unreliability. These developments should be concerning to all Americans. In the past six months, the FBI—and, for that matter, the Department of Justice and intelligence community as a whole—has been forcing out a wide range of experienced personnel needed to protect our nation."
