The Scorecard After the Friday Night Massacre -- Who Still Works At DOJ And the FBI?

Pretty much everyone who worked there on Thursday although the Outrage Porn Peddlers would have you thinking otherwise.

The second full week of the Trump Administration resulted in long-awaited news from the Department of Justice and the FBI. Attorneys were fired, senior FBI managers were forced to retire or face possible termination, January 6 prosecutors had their tenure cut shot, the FBI was directed to create is list of EVERY employee — Special Agent and otherwise — who had any role in the investigation of the events of January 6, 2021.

This news comes before three of the most crucial Trump Administration political appointees have been confirmed — Pam Bondi is not yet Attorney General, Todd Blanche is not yet Deputy Attorney General, and Kash Patel is not yet Director of the FBI. Given that, how is it that Donald Trump is already having a significant impact on the operations of the DOJ and FBI?

But, the news is not exactly what has been reported by various “sources” in social media and elsewhere. The “firings” are not quite as extensive as some outrage peddlers screamed from their electronic perches, and the forced retirements really aren’t surprising and tend to occur at the top of the FBI every time there is a new Director named.

So, here is a scorecard concerning what actually did happen this past week — based on either widespread reporting crossing partisan lines, and/or documentation put out by DOJ and/or the FBI themselves.
