That's exactly it. He needs to keep his document washers quiet.
Basically doing the job that Winston had in 1984
I wonder what took him this long?
This is an explicit warning regarding would-be Epstein file whistleblowers.
The entire regime are treasonous domestic terrorists, so any whistleblower should already be well aware that any pre-existing protections are irrelevant (if the leak were not beneficial for the regime).
Oh right, just in time for the loooong awaited Epstein files. NOW it makes sense.
Look at that, history can be fun.
Trump hates the first amendment.
If he doesn't like that one, we've got others.
Wow, talk about blatant corruption.
I think I hate the way the media tiptoes around it and pretends things are normal even more than the actual corruption.
If you’re going to work for me, then you need to protect the PHILES!
As always, there's zero legal basis to override laws passed by Congress.
Is this much different than Obama directly targeting government whistleblowers? Until him no other president had targeted whistleblowers to such a large extent as Obama despite his campaign promise of strengthening protections.
That makes it alright for Trump to do the same.
/s
Nope, but as usual there's selective outrage
Yeah, sure, because there's absolutely no difference between the two situations, right?
/s since it's probably needed.
I've guts protections and the other completely ignores them. Same outcome
Surprised it took so long.
Another illegal order to defy.
