We don’t need to guess how Project 2025 could wreck the government. We just need to look at what Donald Trump has already done to pervert and decimate the FBI.
In this Ball of Thread, Marcy ties together a vast net of threads to explain how the ex-president targeted everyone in the Federal Bureau of Investigation who had the gall to investigate him. That, conveniently, also allowed him to gut some of the Bureau’s Russian expertise.
The story begins with a legal settlement with two former FBI employees who Trump has made an object lesson by making them star villains in his “Deep State” conspiracy theory.
For the first time, Marcy walks through a litany of public servants who faced Trump and his allies' wrath. She also reveals how this attack on our nation’s most important law enforcement agency has already resulted in a general panic that, at least, slowed key investigative steps from being taken both before and after January 6th.
