My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.

My greatest fury around this situation is not that it happens--its inevitable with our society's power disparities--but that we don't formalize it productively. I wouldn't give a damn if Jared Kushner bought his way into Harvard if the price was paying full tuition for 10 more qualified candidates.
