View submission: Massive firings and “retirements”

I have a friend who works at FBI headquarters, I’m not willing to name them. If you need to remove my post for (as of this moment) unsubstantiated information, I understand. My only request is that I not be banned from the sub

Ok, I'm making an executive decision that I think your post can stay up.

Transparency: from what I can tell, the sub has never really implemented rules about sources previously. I think its unfair to start now without a thread on the topic and some feedback from users.

Don't be surprised if in the future we may discuss not allowing posts without some sort of verifiable source.

All the best! Be well.

Considering multiple news outlets came out with similar info really soon after your post, I'm inclined to believe it. And there's no concern for banning, I think the post was made in good faith. Let me check in with the other mods and see their thoughts!

Are all probationary agents getting the axe? If so that’s pretty fucked up

I believe it and what’s unfortunate is I bet half of them voted for him.

Against their own self interests, very unfortunate. But clearly seen 50 miles away… 🤦‍♂️

Heard the same. Lots of discussions on signal about folks being walked out.

The law only matters for who is in charge to interpret it. Trump is in charge and FBI got to get wax off was on
