Stormtrumpers

Terrible name, btw. Stormtroopers works fine for me. Or brownshirts.

There's been talk that some (most? all? a few?) of the stormtroopers are civilian contractors. And there's also been talk that some states will arrest the unidentified stormtroopers who kidnap, detail, or "arrest" people. Can't wait to see those encounters.

If those stormtroopers who are apprehended are federal employees, do they have any sort of get out of jail free card because they were "just following orders"? When it comes time for the trials after Biden is elected, what can those ground level troops be charged with on a local, state, or federal level? Of course, the goal should be to hold the threat of jail time to keep going up the chain of command to get to Barr, Wolf, Cuccinelli, etc.

And what happens with the civilian contractors? Do they have any protections by virtue of their contracts with the federal government? And if they do, based on the wording of these contracts, how likely are those protections to stand in the face of what I hope will be a legal onslaught from the next administration?

I'm probably getting ahead or myself and getting lost in the weeds, etc., but just some random thoughts that are rambling through my mind this Friday morning.
