This is outrageous and unlawful. These are career FBI Agents not political appointees. They should all be hired by Blue State Governors to work in state level law enforcement agencies. We need to preserve the professional expertise of the federal workforce as Trump is basically mutilating the federal government. Highly illegal. You can not legally fire these people without cause. They should be offered high level law enforcement jobs in blue states.
