Trump DOJ turns tables on J6 investigators, orders 'review process' ahead of possible purge

America's Department of Justice has fired multiple prosecutors over their decision to investigate the Jan. 6 2021 unrest.

The Department of Justice has also demanded the names of any FBI agents who were directly involved with the investigation.

According to reports, the Department of Justice-ordered firing affected nearly a dozen employees in the US. Attorney’s office in Washington D.C.

The firing was a direct order from Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove.

Now, the AP has reported that more than six senior executives at the FBI have also been forced to step down or face being fired – another alleged order from Bove.

Reports have noted that Bove also allegedly requested the names of any and all FBI employees who worked with the Jan. 6 investigations. That list could possibly contain thousands of names.

Bove went on to say the DOJ is expected to “review process to determine whether any additional personnel actions are necessary.”

He also said he will not “tolerate subversive personnel actions by the previous administration.”

The FBI has been reported to disagree with Bove’s order, calling it “outrageous actions by acting officials” that all were “fundamentally at odds with the law enforcement objectives outlined by President Trump and his support for FBI Agents.”

“Dismissing potentially hundreds of Agents would severely weaken the Bureau’s ability to protect the country from national security and criminal threats and will ultimately risk setting up the Bureau and its new leadership for failure,” the FBI’s statement also read.

Acting FBI director Brian Driscoll has now written a letter to the workforce according to AP where he confirmed they would be following FBI policy for the terminations.

“As we’ve said since the moment we agreed to take on these roles, we are going to follow the law, follow FBI policy, and do what’s in the best interest of the workforce and the American people — always,” Driscoll wrote in the letter.

At this point in time, no other information has been released on the order from the Department of Justice.
