    Dear anonymous DOJ employees: You have to be fucking stupid if you think it's a good idea to call yourself rebels, even anonymously. Or have you missed the last 15 months of Trump targeting DOJ?https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1038125002460225536 …

    Two DOJ officials tell The Daily Beast they’ve been passively resisting Trump since he took office. "We see ourselves as rebels," one official said, adding that the op-ed marked a perfect time to celebrate. "We even went around fist-bumping each other." https://www.thedailybeast.com/we-see-ourselves-as-rebels-trumps-internal-resistance-celebrates?ref=home …

        I'm assuming @lachlan @swin24 @attackerman @ErinBanco @samstein know the DOJ "rebels" in question well enough to publish their comments with certainty that they aren't pandering to Trump's base & giving cause for a Trump DOJ purge. Bc that's what you'e done by publishing this.

        Replying to @aysham

        Yeah. My concern is that Trump and the House GOP have taken any hint of opposition from DOJ and chased it down and used it to discredit Mueller. I've written how that motivated me to come forward. Anything that further inflames that w/o good cause is ill-advised, IMO.

        Right? I totally agree & couldn't believe they would be so stupid. But then I had this moment of panic. What if Trump ppl in the DOJ intentionally put that out as a pretense so Trump could go after the DOJ for cause? I am hoping one our friends at DB will allay my fears🙃

        That thought crossed my mind about the anonymous oped in NYT. Regardless of intent, the net result is bolstering Trump's base against the "deep state" and Trump will use it as political cover w GOP & base if he decides to Nixon his way out.

        Maybe it's a false-flag op to give Trump an excuse to attack the DOJ. Were they wearing Polish Army uniforms?pic.twitter.com/mHght7GFZf

        Especially, since the DOJ his supposed to be less political than the rest of the executive branch, it is expected that it would be resisting Trump's efforts to subjugate it to his whims and vendettas. Totally doesn't need to be said. This is fodder for deep state coup crowd.

        Kind of expecting Trump to fire everyone at the White House but Javanka and Miller and put the entire government in prolonged shutdown at his next opportunity.
