The political circus that is the FBI and the Justice Department is about to face a major shakeup, courtesy of President-elect Donald J. Trump. After years of being the target of what can only be described as a relentless witch hunt, punctuated by a federal raid that made more headlines than a celebrity divorce, Trump has emerged victorious and ready to take no prisoners. With his sights set firmly on 2024, he’s ditching the niceties and coming out swinging.

Trump’s strategy? A full-throttle charge past the FBI’s so-called “rigorous” background checks, opting instead to handpick his army of appointees and grant them security clearances directly from his office. It’s a bold, take-no-prisoners approach that sends a clear signal to the Biden administration: the era of the FBI’s partisan shenanigans is drawing to a close. This maneuver is designed to dismantle the Democratic Party’s influence within what should be a non-partisan institution, ensuring that restoration of integrity becomes the order of the day for America’s top law enforcement agencies.
The crux of this shakeup seems to stem from the ongoing distrust planted firmly in the hearts of many conservatives after the FBI’s dismal performance during the Russia investigation saga. Trump’s team, it appears, will be issuing these security clearances without waiting for the FBI to conduct background checks—an audacious move that could rattle the very foundations of a bureaucracy that many believe has strayed far from its intended purpose.
In the past, the process for granting security clearances involved a convoluted system that relied heavily on the FBI’s background checks to determine trustworthiness and prevent any potential leaks. This system often left Trump’s aides, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner, entangled in bureaucratic red tape while adversaries reveled in the fact that they could exploit delays and obstacles. It remains unclear if these historical hurdles will be repeated, but Trump’s new approach certainly aims to cut through the bureaucratic nonsense.
As Trump assembles his team and makes waves with his new policies, one thing is abundantly clear: he knows the stakes. It’s not just about winning at the ballot box; it’s about surrounding himself with loyal allies who won’t be deep-cover moles misleading him from within. Any lingering doubts about trusting the FBI’s motives have been completely obliterated by past betrayals, so it’s only logical for him to make a more direct assertion of control. With the Democrats already casting aspersions on potential opponents, Trump is poised to unleash a strategy that reclaims political ground for conservative America and minimizes the infusion of partisan gamesmanship into his administration.
