Today, the Trump-Vance transition team signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Justice, the next step in the ongoing preparation of senior administration officials for the purpose of serving in President Donald Trump’s second administration.
The MOU allows the transition team to submit names for background checks and security clearances and will afford the transition process additional insights, and it facilitates the transition landing teams gaining access to the information they need to prepare for leadership of the federal agencies and departments.
“This agreement with the Department of Justice will ensure President Trump and his team are ready on Day 1 to begin enacting the America First Agenda that an overwhelming majority of our nation supported on Election Day,” said Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff.
Trump has a testy relationship with the FBI, which is under the Department of Justice, with good reason. The agency raided his home in Mar-a-Lago, and many believe the intrusion into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 was, in part, an agency operation. The FBI has come under criticism and suspicion for its “woke” agenda and possible involvement in other civil unrest. The FBI, for example, raided the home of a Homer, Alaska couple who had been outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The agency said it was looking for then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop computer, which it believed the couple had stolen.
Other incidents, from Antifa riots to Black Lives Matter mayhem, have raised questions about whether the agency has been compromised. Trump has nominated Kash Patel to take over the leadership of the agency and start cleaning out the corruption.
The Department of Justice itself has been on a several-year witch hunt against Trump. Recently, Jack Smith, the special counsel who has been in charge of taking Trump down politically through the Justice system, has dropped the case.
“have raised questions about whether the agency has been compromised.”
There is no question or hint of doubts that the DOJ is “compromised”. It is not enough to appoint a new Director, as the institution is rotted from the core out.
It needs dismantling with convictions of past Directors, attorneys and key people to purge the totalitarian cancer permeating this key foundational institution enforcing the unconstitutional power usurped by our permanent government.
Any department head not approved that Trump wants then the department needs to be defunded totally.
This way we can save money , get some freedoms back from stupid rules and cut down governments overreach.
Good. Playing by the rules. Warren will be happy.
I know this guy, we can call him “greg” he is not happy with the background checks, he wants it the old dimlibby-left-wing-donkey way!
That way is, you will like who we say you will like!
Now get back in your sheep pens & keep your head in the sand!
I’m good with background checks. For the record.
DEA guy just pulled out. Hmmm?
To dismantle the entire DOJ and other agencies at once would leave a substantial void in the justice system.
By replacing those that have been terminated, those that are retiring and just quitting will leave enough agents to cover assignments.
We don’t have a “justice” system. What we have is a fully corrupted totalitarian permanent government that goes after any serious political opposition.
While there may be a handful of employees that are not corrupted, the systemic issues and mindset are so deep, it needs top down purging.
Disgruntled federal employees quitting cannot be rewarded with retirements and benefits after what they have done.
I’d like to see all cabinet members, federal representatives, senators, judges, whitehouse staff, etc. get background checks and random drug tests.
Is there any doubt that the FBI hasn’t ALREADY done background checks?
It will come out. That’s why there won’t be any “holiday” appointments.
If you work for the government you have had a background check. You have to have background checks to get a base pass. This is just a stall tactic. Unlike the guy below thinks, there will be holiday appointments.
The corrupt DOJ and FBI will bumble this whole thing.
They are bound to do a better job than the person who’s currently doing it, and that would be tucker carlson.
President Elect is a stable genius and makes strategic moves well head of oppositional personalities. I wonder if background checks reveals education weak in constitutional studies. Curriculum materials are not primary documents and candidate has no discernable depth of experience with the US Constitution, founding declarations, or history. This candidate had no duty binding him or her to secure the US Constitution
