“… Executive assistant directors who lead the FBI’s National Security, Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services, Science and Technology, Information and Technology, and Human Resources branches were notified earlier this week that they would be demoted, according to a fact sheet obtained by POLITICO that was circulated by House Judiciary Democrats to the broader caucus.

… Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that “we have some very bad people over there” but that he was not involved in the decisions. He added: “I’ll have to see what is exactly going on after this is finished, but if they fired people over there that’s a good thing because they were very bad, very corrupt people.”

Some of the senior FBI officials affected are choosing to retire rather than accept “summary reassignments,” according to one lawyer advising people involved. The process of firing an FBI agent normally takes at least six to nine months and requires the bureau to show some sort of serious misconduct by the agent, the attorney said. …”
 


“…
It was not clear how many agents might ultimately be affected, but officials are working to identify potentially hundreds for possible termination, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private personnel plans.

Of specific interest in their review were agents who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his alleged mishandling of classified documents, the people said. One person said agents involved in building cases against rioters in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol also were being considered for termination.

 
Lotta Dem lawyers gonna get rich. The firings or reassignments will definitely be the subject of lawsuits.
 
Matt Gaetz can take his party across the country now. "C'mon girls! Hop aboard the Matt Train!"

So basically anyone who performed a simple questioning of some random Trump staffer is being targeted.
 
Knee-cap national security; increase risk of terrorism; watch terrorist attacks occur; respond with fascist authoritarian brutality, in the name of national security
If a president hypothetically wanted a Gestapo-like police force, seems that eliminating any factions that chose duty over “dear leader” would be an obvious first step. And, in that hypothetical, eliminating a lot of the force at the top would allow them to promote underlings that seem most inclined to be “Yes men”.
