This is a *remarkable* message. Although phrased politely and with no hint of disobedience, Acting FBI Director Driscoll is making clear to all that he's not onboard with Trump's purge.
I would expect him to be removed from his position if they can find someone more willing to do Trump's bidding.

Do you know what they called Germans in the 1930s who didn't really love Hitler deep in their hearts, but went along with Nazi stuff, and did things like Nazi salutes, because they enjoyed how it upset groups the Nazis targeted and other non-Nazis?

I hope local news outlets all over the country are doing this. People should know if pardoned J6-ers who assaulted cops are returning to their communities, and what they did.
FEEDBACK: A viewer wrote about our decision today to detail the violence against police by the Coloradans pardoned by Trump for J6. We did it because many Coloradans back the Blue. And it should be on the record for when those J6 attackers run for office in Colorado. #copolitics

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.
At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.

Lots of institutions and leaders have capitulated. In the days to come, even more will bend a knee. They want it seem inevitable or smart. It is not.
