In a bold move that signals his no-nonsense approach to draining the swamp, President-elect Donald J. Trump is throwing down the gauntlet with the FBI. After years of targeted attacks from the Justice Department—culminating in a federal raid on his home—Trump is no longer playing their game. The FBI has made it clear that they’re willing to go to any lengths to derail his candidacy, but Trump has the upper hand now. He’s won the election, and he’s not taking any more orders from the establishment.
In a direct challenge to the bureau, Trump’s transition team is planning to grant sweeping security clearances to all political appointees on day one of his administration. This move ensures that his team will bypass FBI vetting, which has been a tool used by the Deep State to target his allies. These clearances will hold until Trump’s appointed officials take control of the FBI and clean house.
Trump has long viewed the FBI with contempt, especially after the bureau’s actions during the Russia investigation. His administration intends to take the reins of power, including the control of the very agency that has been weaponized against him.
Bypassing the traditional FBI background checks shows that Trump is taking direct action to dismantle the FBI’s political influence. As he prepares to assume office, it’s clear that this is not just about taking down the Deep State—it’s about reshaping the government’s very foundation.
Is this the start of the FBI’s downfall? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: Trump is making it crystal clear that the Deep State is on borrowed time.
The question remains: Will the FBI ever recover from this slap in the face?
