Well, I mean, we have already started to see people being moved out of their positions, being marginalized, pushed into different roles. So they can do stuff like that, but they can also – Trump and his nominees have also threatened to take legal action against employees.

And people who have left the Justice Department are also in fear that they could face criminal charges, civil litigation, things like that. So there's really no limit to the way that Trump could make these decisions. DOJ employees' lives hell over the next few years.

And so I definitely thought it was going to be a narrower swath of people. I mean, there are many, many people charged with misdemeanors who didn't commit violence, but there were also hundreds of people who beat cops and you know, a destroyed property and just, you know, ransacked the Capitol.

I think we saw a very favorable reaction from senators during Pam Bondi's confirmation hearing. You know, of course, Democrats are strongly opposed to her, but in comparison to some of Trump's other more controversial nominees, Pam Bondi has not generated that many negative headlines.
