is to restore all of these people's reputations and clearances...
and to rehire all those fired for political reasons.

These people are career intelligence. They don't take this shit laying down. Maybe they'll stick up for themselves and fall on their sword and get rid of this guy once and for all. It's time. This guy dt, is an enemy of the state bigger than shit and dt needs to know...he's not bigger than 250 years of the galaxies premier democracy. OR the 340 million people who reside here.
It may be the tipping point. these guys take their oaths very very seriously, and all of them have risked their very lives for this country. Brennan is going to be WHITE HOT and i don't blame him. THEY QUALIFIED for a security clearance....something no one in dons family even got to the threshold of.
Had enough yet? (visualize dt fighting(?) w you like the phony WWE skit) QUIT RESISTING AMERICA

Aside...
Which reminds me...what mischief has the Wrestling Lady been up to. Mcmahon? She's been mysteriously OUT of the limelight. it's akin to the kids in the house suddenly going quiet....what has SHE been up to?

Oaths mean something to ME when I swear them, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

and his influence is getting smaller and smaller.
No one respects him. No one fears him.
He's done nothing to make the world better
and no one will remember him except as a
warning to never elect an self-absorbed clown.

It's what Authoritarians do.

Once he bends the DOJ to his will, look for Show Trials in the near future.

Yes, I mean HRC.

It is one thing to fire a guy who a report said acted inappropriately but should not be fired. It is completely another issue going after political opponents because they oppose you and your policies, even his most avid supporters need to stop and think, because that opens up a big can of worms for them. The outspoken rightwing preachers, the outspoken federal judges, the outspoken rightwing business people, all of them must realize that the worm will turn and if they can be dragged into Court just because, they run the risk of being destroyed, because unlike some of the people that Trump want to go after, lots of Trump supporters have actually comitted crimes or are on the borderline.

I have zero faith in all the rightwingers you mention. As far as I can see, they're already on Team Autocracy, and would greet show trials with cheers and hosannas.
