    it just keeps getting worse. who can do what to stop this militaristic purge of the key government officials responsible for oversight and justice? department heads fired to prevent Musk fines. People fired for doing their jobs independent of partisanship? How much is too much?

    Senior FBI leaders ordered to retire, resign or be fired by Monday | CNN Politics

    At least six senior FBI leaders have been ordered to retire, resign or be fired by Monday, according to sources briefed on the matter, extending a purge that began last week at the Justice Department across the street from the FBI headquarters.

    The senior officials are at the executive assistant director level or special agent in charge level and include those who oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations, the sources told CNN. Some were notified while Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the agency, sat answering questions from senators for his confirmation hearing Thursday.

    Trump transition officials in recent months have signaled plans to push aside leaders promoted by former FBI Director Christopher Wray. The leadership changes have drawn internal consternation, in part because these officials didn’t have anything to do with prosecutions of Donald Trump, which have been the focus of the president’s ire.

    The personnel moves come as hundreds of FBI agents who were assigned to investigate the January 6 US Capitol attack and Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents are bracing for the possibility that they could be forced out or punished, similar to what has happened to dozens of career Justice Department lawyers.

    He promised retribution ("I am your justice. I am your retribution"), and that's what he's doing. Why should anyone be surprised or concerned? The American people voted for it.

    To be fair, America knew this and voted accordingly.

    This happens every day in business, athletics, sports franchises college and pro. Basically any organization. Trump campaigned on this specifically and received 312 electoral votes. None of these moves are a surprise to anyone other than those who are just now getting past the denial stage in grief and on to anger/lashing out

    Although, of course, these enterprises that promote, hire and fire solely based on sycophantic loyalty soon suffer at the bottom line, or go out of business.

    But Trump doesn't really care about America.
