Miranda Devine: Trump is sending the Deep State to the outhouse as he cleans house at the FBI and DOJ

It’s galling to hear sleazy Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin and self-serving government bureaucrats whine about “due process” as Donald Trump sets about cleaning house in the out-of-control administrative state.

Last time Trump was president, he and his appointees were sabotaged and obstructed by Machiavellian Deep Staters who perverted concepts such as “due process” into protective shields around wrongdoers and turned them into weapons against their adversaries — that is, anyone trying to carry out the wishes of the democratically elected president.

That won’t be happening again. It’s called democracy.

The FBI raided Trump’s home and rummaged through his wife’s underwear drawer. They tried to lock him up and bankrupt him. They rounded up his supporters and advisers and threw them in jail.

He was forced to spend 60% of his time and tens of millions of dollars fighting the lawfare waged against him.

So don’t talk about “due process” to Trump.

Heads are spinning in Washington at the shock-and-awe tactics of Trump 2.0. You can hear the panic in the high pitch of Deep State voices as they run squealing to CNN and MSNBC.

Cleaning house

Vile ex-CIA Director John Brennan was practically hyperventilating last week as he railed against the fact that he and the rest of the Dirty 51 have been stripped of their security clearances and banned from federal buildings.

Those 51 ex-spooks, including five former CIA directors or acting directors, knew exactly what they were doing when they signed a letter falsely claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation: using the esteem of their former high positions to give Joe Biden a get-out-of-jail-free card in the final debate against Trump.

They just never expected that they would be held accountable.

You can almost hear the rumbling thunder in Washington as accountability comes calling.

At FBI headquarters at midday Thursday, while TVs in most offices were tuned to the Senate confirmation hearing of incoming FBI Director Kash Patel, all six of the FBI’s most senior executives were marched out of the building on the orders of acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, one of Trump’s former lawyers.

“It was a huge demonstration” of how power has shifted, says Steven Friend, who has been suspended without pay for 29 months in retaliation for exposing the manipulation of Jan. 6 case files at FBI headquarters to inflate domestic terrorism statistics.

He was forced out of the FBI and stripped of his security clearance after he objected to participating in unconstitutional SWAT raids on J6 suspects accused of misdemeanors.

On Friday, multiple heads of FBI field offices across the country also were forced onto leave, including in Washington, DC, and Miami, which conducted the Mar-a-Lago raid. Federal prosecutors involved in the Trump and J6 cases also reportedly were suspended.

That gave them the weekend to decide whether to accept the administration’s offer to federal employees of “deferred resignations” with eight months’ pay.

“It’s 4D chess. I’m all here for it,” says Friend, who is hoping to get his job back, but not with the same bosses. He and his group of FBI whistleblowers, who call themselves “the Suspendables,” have been passing on to the administration names of good candidates to replenish the ranks.

“It’s going to require capable, experienced agents just stepping into leadership. The people occupying these spots now are just career climbers with almost zero experience.”

Sabotaged

Meanwhile, Elon Musk and his DOGE strike force of high-IQ insomniacs have moved fast to take over the core processes of the federal government: the payments system at Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management.

They also have their sights set on corrupt government agencies such as the US Agency for International Development, which, as anti-digital censorship guru Mike Benz points out, has nothing to do with “aiding” anyone in the humanitarian sense but serves more as a mechanism for funding covert foreign influence operations to advance liberal agendas, such as undermining the socially conservative Hungarian government.

Two top USAID security officials reportedly were suspended on “administrative” leave Saturday night after trying to block DOGE staffers’ access.

One was John Voorhees, the head of the Office of Security, who was instrumental in 2019 in forcing out Mark Moyar, the Trump-appointed director of USAID’s office of civilian-military cooperation who had uncovered endemic fraud, corruption and waste at the agency.

Moyar, now a military history professor at Hillsdale College, detailed the Kafkaesque administrative sabotage of his efforts to clean up the agency in “Masters of Corruption: How the Federal Bureaucracy Sabotaged the Trump Presidency.” His 2024 book is believed to be being used as a blueprint for reform at USAID.

Moyar was forced out by the well-worn Deep State tactic of using anonymous false allegations to get his security clearance revoked.

In this case, the accusation was that he had disclosed classified information in his previous book, but no evidence or specifics were ever produced. Talk about “due process.”

“Security bureau?crats and lawyers decided they could make up rules and issue legal judgments without regard for the Constitution or the powers it conferred on Congress and the judicial branch,” Moyar complains.

“They ran roughshod over the free speech protections of the First Amendment, the search-and-seizure provisions of the Fourth Amendment, the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the confrontation clause of the Sixth Amendment, along with federal whistleblower protection laws and court rulings on publication rights.”

Weekend warrior

When Moyar sought help from the inspectors general at USAID and the Department of Defense, he said, they “conducted bogus ‘investigations’ gener?ating no evidence and clearing the government of any wrongdo?ing.” Other whistleblowers faced the same betrayal. Hence Trump’s firing of 17 inspectors general.

Musk appears to be employing the same tactics as he did when he first took over Twitter and reduced the workforce by 80% with little discernible difference to the service.

His team has reportedly set up sofa beds so they can stay in the offices 24/7.

“Working the weekend is a superpower,” Musk posted to X on Saturday.

“Very few in the bureaucracy actually work the weekend, so it’s like the opposing team just leaves the field for 2 days!”

Washington has woken from a deep slumber and is operating on Trump Time now. Four years of action have been compressed into two weeks and that will only accelerate.

Dems and their media apparatchiks don’t know how to cope as all their sacred cows are annihilated one by one.

Rachel Maddow is focusing on self-care. Joy Reid is frothing at the mouth. Jim Acosta and Chuck Todd are simply out of work and CNN panelists are left with mouths agape and egg dripping down their faces as token Republican Scott Jennings pricks their bubbles.

The Deep State will strike back, for sure, but this time Trump is ready.
