…having 4 jobs also raises practical issues: Does #Rubio get a pay bump? Will he have time to hop around the globe to do diplomacy? How will he delegate his duties?

There are precedents—sort of. 1973–1975, Henry Kissinger held 2 of Rubio’s jobs, Secy of #State & #NationalSecurity adviser, in an experiment considered a #failure. In the current #Trump admin, #KashPatel, #FBI dir, & #DanielDriscoll, #Army Secy, have both been interim head of the #ATF while also serving in their prominent posts.

As #CivilRights prosecutors conducted the investigation #EmilBove demanded, they pushed back against steps he wanted taken, arguing they were either not justified by available facts or contrary to #law, or both.
At one point,Bove instructed #FBI agents on the NY joint terrorism task force to put on their raid jackets, go to #Columbia & stand in a phalanx near #protesters. Within the civil rights division, the instruction was viewed as deeply improper & a blatant attempt to #intimidate #students.

Those types of demands from political appointees at the #DOJ are part of the reason there has been an exodus of lawyers from the #CivilRights division in recent weeks, acc/to current & fmr ofcls.

The federal investigation into #student #protesters at #Columbia appears to have stalled for now, but it represents one of the most contentious episodes yet inside #Justice during #Trump’s 2nd term. The dispute has left lingering ill will within the dept, as well as the #courts & the #FBI….

"A little bit of mercy. Care a little bit about your fellow human, about your fellow citizen, fellow resident. We bleed too. We work. We bleed just like anybody else bleeds. We’re scared. You could see our faces that we were terrified. What makes you so much more worthier of your peace? What makes you so much more worthier of protecting your children? What makes you so much more worthy of your citizenship?"

@craignewmark

uh sure #fbi ransomware is the "most pervasive threat" as long as you ignore the ongoing coup and attacks from nation-states from non-ransoming botnets

keep on being worse-than-useless: like all the other losers that swore to protect preserve & defend the Constitution

you're not even trying

Other govt #databases contain secret #whistleblower data. At the Dept of #Veterans Affairs, you’ll find granular #MentalHealth info on fmr service members, including notes from #therapy sessions, details about #medication, & accounts of substance abuse. Govt agencies including the #IRS, #FBI, #DHS, & Dept of #Defense have all purchased #cellphone-#location data, & possibly collected them, via secretive groups such as the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

The #FBI has its own “Next Generation Identification” #biometric & #criminal-history #database program; the agency also has a #FacialRecognition apparatus capable of matching people against >640M photos—a database made up of #DriversLicense & #passport photos, as well as mug shots. The #SocialSecurity Admin keeps a master #earnings file, which contains the “individual earnings histories for each of the 350+ million SSNs that have been assigned to workers.”
