Staff Reports
The recent announcement of former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz as Donald Trump’s pick for Attorney General has sent shockwaves through the ranks of the FBI and the Department of Justice. These institutions, which have already demonstrated they are more interested in partisanship than true justice, are now reportedly in a state of panic, fearing the consequences of their own actions during the Trump era. It appears the days of unchecked surveillance and politically motivated investigations may soon come to an end, and now they seem quite worried about being on the receiving end of probes themselves.
In the wake of Trump’s electoral victory, many DOJ officials and career bureaucrats were already squirming at the possibility of being scrutinized by those loyal to Trump, especially members of Congress who have had enough of their antics. The selection of Gaetz, a staunch ally of Trump and a figure previously scrutinized by the FBI, has ratcheted up the anxiety levels to 11. This heightened trepidation begs the question: if they were all above board in their dealings, what exactly are they worried about?

Rumors are swirling that several current and former officials are hurriedly reaching out to legal counsel, preparing for investigations they believe might come their way. One official, who insists he has done nothing wrong, is nonetheless bracing himself for what seems to be an inevitable fallout. It’s a classic case of projection; those who have wielded power in a manner that often seemed more interested in partisan politics than pursuit of justice now fear that the tables may finally turn on them.
It’s almost ironic. After years spent weaponizing their roles against Trump and anyone associated with him, many of these career officials are suddenly faced with the possibility of accountability. A former senior DOJ official openly anticipates a long and costly legal battle, not unlike what Trump has faced from a host of baseless charges over the years. From endless investigations to frivolous lawsuits, perhaps it’s time they understand what it feels like to be under the microscope.
As concerns swirl among FBI and DOJ officials regarding the Gaetz nomination, it’s hard to muster any sympathy for them. After witnessing the lengths to which some officials went to tarnish the reputation of a sitting president, one can’t help but feel that they are simply reaping the consequences of their own political games. This latest development not only signifies a potential reckoning for those involved in previous investigations but also symbolizes a shift back toward fixing the broken justice system they helped create. They sowed chaos; now they must prepare for the storm.
