'Their days are numbered': Federal bureaucrats are panicking over Trump win — especially at DOJ and FBI

Employees at the Biden-Harris Department of Justice and their fellow travelers at the FBI are apparently "shell-shocked" and updating their resumes following President-elect Donald Trump's landslide electoral victory.
Federal bureaucrats' apparent fears of a thorough housecleaning are justified, as Trump has made no secret of his plan to "shatter the Deep State and restore government that is controlled by the People."
Background In March 2023, Trump announced that on day one, he would reissue his 2020 executive order establishing the Schedule F employment category for federal employees, making it easier to remove insubordinate and poorly performing bureaucrats from an estimated pool of 50,000 eligible candidates.
"I will wield that power aggressively," Trump vowed.
President Joe Biden revoked Trump's Schedule F in January 2021 and announced a rule earlier this year aimed at further shielding federal bureaucrats from accountability and from being ousted under a framework resembling Schedule F.
Reversing this rule might take months and involve legal challenges. Nevertheless, Trump appears committed to ensuring that America's democratically elected president will once again "have appropriate management oversight regarding this select cadre of professionals."
Trump also vowed in his 10-point plan to "clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus."
"The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible," said Trump.
Since detailing his cleanup program last year, Trump has brought on Elon Musk to lead a federal efficiency initiative, which might reinforce the cleanup of deadwood at the Justice Department and its well-armed offshoot.

There is nothing stopping President Trump from having every single one of them transferred to North Dakota in January.
Then if any stick around through the winter he can litigate at will.

It is ridiculous that one President can issue an EO but the the next one has to to many months to revoke it. Of course, this only seems to work that way when it is Trump revoking a Rat EO. A Rat like Biden can revoke 100s of Trump EOs like on the border issue on day 1.

Step 1 - cancel their security clearances day one.
Step 2 - send them to obscure border towns like Lajitas Texas and limit their travel expenses so they cannot visit DC. Make them patrol the border (outside in the heat)
Step 3 - accept all their letters of resignation.

Take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
