FBI Fires Agents Investigating Trump. Accountability, For Whom?
The Independent, citing AP sources, details the FBI's continued purge of agents involved in investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This isn't about ensuring justice, it's about chilling dissent within institutions that should be upholding the law. One might recall similar 'purges' were common practice in regimes less concerned with democratic norms. While corporate media frames this
as an internal 'clean-up,' the effect is clear: a powerful message to any agent considering investigations into politically sensitive figures. It serves as a potent deterrent, ensuring that future transgressions by figures like Trump might go unchallenged, lest agents risk their careers for daring to follow the evidence. Accountability, it appears, is a luxury reserved for those without political
power.
