Wow ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ! Thanks for the info, Julie. Who would have guessed that the rot was so broad and deep. It reminds me of cleaning out the barn after a long winter - the cow manure is remarkably deep and the more you dig out, the worse the stench! This will likely go down as the most thorough housekeeping exercise in the history of the DOJ, removing layers of political evildoers who have been masquerading for years as public servants. Keep up the great work!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

We don't yet know how far the corruption extends!

10/14/25: Congratulations!!!

"Benโ€™Ary, who was fired Wednesday night reportedly because this reporter posted screenshots of his LinkedIn account on X showing he had recently worked for former deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco, wrote a lengthy call to action to his ex co-workers."

P.S. Thanks for making the letter unreadable. No seriously, I mean just that, thank you. Otherwise, I would dutifully have read it and been poisoned with the Deep State fumes of a dethroned bully's resentment and self-pity.

I remained shocked at how deep the politicization of our federal legal and law enforcement systems has reached. Bondi, Patel, and crew have a huge job.

Itโ€™s way past time for a wholesale purge of the most corrupt DOJ in the history of our nation. It is quite obvious that we still have a major two-tier system continuing to operate and frustrate the

mandates of We The People.

What is even more disturbing is that the ousted assholes truly believe that they were targeted unjustifiably. They are like serial killers who show no remorse towards the families of their victims. At least they spare us from wasting our time waiting for any apologies.

Thank you again Julie for more outstanding reporting.

And the rot in the FBI is just as deep as in the DOJ. I don't know if there is enough time to restore America to its former self.

Thank you Julie! This reminds me of Mark Leibovich's book "This Town" published in 2013.

It really is a swamp. A swamp of people that seem to share a lot of DNA.

I started a business from scratch seven years ago. It is rough going still. There is really no help or love from any powers, in fact it is just the opposite. The system is rigged to keep taking from me as I attempt to produce real products and create real jobs.

This is Ayn Rand's producer, looter and moocher 3-actor explanation. I am the producer close to getting ready to shrug. These DC swamp creatures are the top talent in the professional looter cabal... that live like leeches sucking the lifeblood from people like me.

This is what DC has become... a place for the upper class of less attractive, but well-credentialled, actors lacking ethics, morality or productive capability, to loot a lot of cash. It is like a giant magnet for these types... pulling them from all over the country like a criminal enterprise gold rush. Media got in on the act. Politicians and government bureaucrats - that always have included a percentage of Golddiggers - morphed into a cult of self-dealing greed robots pledging fealty to the Democrat Party... the place for the professional looter to feel at home.

Let's get a position of power so we can get our mitts on some of the trillions of government monopoly money!

I don't like that it is taking the Trump Administration so long to rid ourselves of these dirty swampy pit vipers. But at least progress is being made. Step two needs to be installing the safeguards to prevent the snakes from sliming their way back in power again (my apologies to all the real snakes out there.)

First Julie, congratulations to your daughter passing the bar exam, she not only has your brains she also has your beauty!

Now on to business, seems all the dirty players are all intertwined and know each other. Iโ€™m afraid the swamp is so deep it will not be drained by the end of Trumps term, Vance will have to continue cleaning out the Deep State trash. In order to completely clean up this J.D. Vance has to become e POTUS!

I refer to this as the beltway incestation plague caused by msm being wed to politicians or bureaucrats ala A. Mitchell and A. Greenspan. Simply inbred bias in every report on msm.

DOJ National Security Division is a central node of the Deep State anti-MAGA lawfare operation. Great to see it get mucked out.

Excellent reporting Julie, thank you.

Like an angry 5 year Benโ€™Avry writes a harsh little good bye note, โ€œI am not loved here anymore, I am running away, Good bye cruel world, the Hobo express leaves at midnight!!โ€ Long crooked stick and red bandana tied up to it, containing, his laptop, burner phone, super secret agent decoder ring courtesy of Cracker Jacks and we the tax payers, off he goes into the sunset. Rather than humbly thanking the US taxpayer citizens for the opportunity to serve his nation, and heading for a top flight white shoe law firm (who would hire a hack like this clown which is another story) he writes a dreck filled screed and shakes his fist at us all. One can only hope that he is named at some point as an unindicted co-conspirator in the forthcoming roll up of all these crooked lawyers and henchmen at the FBI.

Julie,

๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

DC is a swamp and seems like every place you look there is another mud bug that needs to be cooked.

Thank you for doing the dirty work so we don't have to ๐Ÿ˜‰
