I do believe that Trump and the GOP want to see the DOJ and FBI purged of anyone who is NOT loyal to their agenda. It must be a very hard time to be a registered Democrat or independent in those agencies right now. Beyond that if you are not a proven loyalist to the Trump administration you may be in jeopardy even if you are protected under civil service.
We are in dangerous and unknown territory. Now that we know that the GOP will let Trump do whatever he wants it is open season on those individuals who are not loyalists. Each day employees of those organizations must feel the pressure to keep their heads down because the leadership is beholden to the GOP and Trump like never before.
The crisis and the problem go much deeper and grows more dangerous over time. The problem is that even if Mueller finds widespread corruption and outright conspiracy unless we get some power in November no one will do a single thing about it.
Sadly we have one party that is connected to the Russian like Siamese twins. GOTV is super critical. Personally I am really afraid of November. I would feel better if it were certain that the Democrats had a slam dunk.

(38,518 posts)I'm pretty confident that we will prevail in November, but it really steams me that Democrats always have to be the conscience of our government. You don't need much education to see that the Republican Party has become very comfortable in the role of crooked, treasonous, hateful grifters. The Tea Party has fulfilled their promise.

I am so worried that I honestly think Pence would be better, at least he wouldn't have the cult of personality behind him, he would excite Evangelicals but they fully support Trump anyway, some of these white supremacist MAGAs would be bored by Pence IMO. I just think Pence would be a more normal religious fanatic Republican crook.
