More like weaponized bureaucracy imho... but I hope/wish it went down the way you suggested...

Yeah, I'm not going to say that there are no Trumpers in the DoJ. Republicunts are drawn to law enforcement, after all. But Trump went out of his way to go after several branches and employees of the DoJ both during, and after his presidency. So I'd imagine his support there would be thinner than otherwise suspected.

Yes and he attacked the CIA many times, the FBI directly, the military - what - a hundred times? And they all still have large vocal supporters or at least pitifully few examples of anyone working against him.

They either can't tie their shoes for being useless or there's some serious bullshit afoot.
