The FBI has cut staffing in an office focused on domestic terrorism and has scrapped a tool used to track such investigations, in a shift that could undermine law enforcement’s ability to counter white supremacists and anti-government extremists, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The moves, sources said, are an indication that domestic terrorism investigations, which in recent years have largely involved violence fueled by right-wing ideologies, may be less of a priority under FBI Director Kash Patel, a prominent critic of the effort.
So, to recap: Right-wing terrorism is good, torching am Incel Camino is bad. Well, the latter is bad, anyway, they should be destroyed in normal use, from lack of sales and YT testing.
Meanwhile, at the Veterans Administration, employees there have been forbidden from talking to the VA's own lawyers without the approval of a Trumpy political commissar.
The Veterans Affairs Department has instructed employees in its benefits office not to interact with VA’s cadre of attorneys without direct permission from political leadership, raising questions as to how employees there will seek legal advice.
The Veterans Benefits Administration frequently turns to VA’s Office of General Counsel for questions on adjudicating claims, handling litigation and interpreting new laws and directives. Cheryl Mason, a senior advisor to VA Secretary Doug Collins, gave directions that VBA business lines and staff offices “should have NO direct contact with OGC” without first receiving permission from Mason, according to a series of emails recently sent to staff and obtained by Government Executive.
“That means no one in VBA should make a call or send an email to anyone in OGC without prior approval,” according to one such email.
Apparently, this directive has been expanded to include everyone else in the VA, to the point that VA in-house attorneys in other offices are forbidden from contacting the OGC on any matter without the prior approval of a political officer.
The goal seems to be to make the VA even more inefficient as a prelude to pushing for privatization of VA health services.
