Will the FBI or other government employees that were fired or forced to quit

during this Trump fiasco be reinstated or receive their retirement pensions? Since Trump fired them due to his emotional state and/or misinformation, it doesn't seem fair that these people lost their jobs because they got caught up in his anger.

What about the ambassador to Ukraine? Should she get her job back?

The one who should have been fired was Trump.

That was a double hit and he should sue.

Might have to be willing to ride it out until this cancer is removed from the body politic to have a fairer chance without interference.

After all, some had over 30 years of seniority and that should be worth something. When a fool like Trump takes away not only your job, but your reputation/legacy, you should have some recourse.

I keep thinking of Rachel's wall of Trump's former staff/advisors, etc. It was so covered with names, she had to stop posting them. Once he is out of office, it will be interesting to see the final number of employees that were fired or smart enough to escape before the axe came down.

is involved with a wrong full discharge suit over a Agent that was Fired from Her Job as a TSA Officer for unjust cause. Apparently the Station Manager,TSA Boss,had some personal interest in this person.

Takes a on hell of a long time before things get moving.
