    The only reason to remove organizations to help aid in dealing with corruption is to enable more corruption.

    Trump really can’t even pretend to hide his true intentions now. Fucking fascist.

      Why should he? Nobody’s doing anything to stop him.

        The rich love him, they aren’t going to stop him. The people with higher levels of power stopped us from Trump getting any form of justice.

        Hopefully he has a long, slow, painful ending.

        Democrats are so useless that they’ll let him have his entire term as FBI director instead of fire him if they win the presidency in 2028. In fact they will probably preen about how not firing him is a virtuous example of the return of norms and traditions.

    Once again, the headline gets twisted to the republican narrative,

    Anti-corruption. It’s an anti-corruption group. The GOP lawmakers are corrupt.

    “Fires agents after they…”

    In the article: “it is unclear if the agents were fired or reassigned.”

    Ffs, why put unverified information in the headline?? They’re not doing themselves any favours.

    I don’t think they realize how corrosive to their power corruption is. If they think that the government is bad; just wait until the low level people start thinking that the whole hierarchy is corrupt. Then it will become impossible to undo the damage.

    Hell a Russian spy who keeps the people below thinking he’s honest does far less damage than a loyal American who gives off the impression that he is corrupted.

    This lying about numbers is eating the soul which will undermine the whole country in ways hard to imagine.
