Summary

FBI agents who investigated Jan. 6 and Trump-related cases are suing the Justice Department, alleging they are being targeted for termination.

The lawsuit claims the DOJ is compiling a list of agents involved in these cases, and some of their personal information has appeared on the dark web.

The agents fear retaliation from Trump allies and convicted Jan. 6 rioters. They seek an immediate halt to the list’s creation and publication, citing privacy violations.

A second lawsuit filed separately also challenges the alleged politically motivated firings.

Americans should be happy that the trains will soon begin to run on time. /s

Jokes on you! Most of our cities barely invested in public transit so there's no trains to run on time to begin with! Oh wait...

Let that snowball with lawsuits from other affected parties to burry his momentum.

I mean everyone knows the key to prosperity is instability. Historically only the most unstable nations had great wealth and prosperity.

IDGAF what happens in the US anymore. We've earned what's coming and none more so than the goddamn FBI.

We should be worried about immigrants, targeted minorities, Palestinians, and Ukrainians. I'm not gonna guzzle no tears just because a few federal pigs are going to have to look for honest work.
